FLAMMA FS01 Drum Machine & Phrase Loop Pedal Guitar Pedal Mix Mode 20 Minutes Looper Capacity 121 Rhythms

Ok, I shopped quite a few reverb pedals to end up with this one. I did some side by side comparison of this pedal along with Boss RV-6, GOKKO Creepy, Ammoon PocketVerb, Valeton Ocean Verb, and JOYO Atmosphere and TC Electronic HOF mini. I will tell you, the Price of this unit, although it is very affordable, was not the reason I ended up with it. I like this pedal best.1 - it looks awesome , kinda has that DarkGlass look to it.2 - it is incredibly user friendly3 - the design is very well thought out, and I liked it best of all pedals, including TonePrint by TC Electronics4 - has a good selection of Reverb Types5 - Sounds greatFirst, I will say, I am not a HUGE reverb buff, and saying that I mean, I don't like BIG, WARM, OVER THE TOP reverb types, I can usually find happiness in Room, Hall, Plate or Spring, and usually do not like Modulate, and am not a fan of Dynamic or Shimmer at all.For the most part, side by side, if you leave all controls neutral, out of the box, all the pedals have similar sounds. some were a little noisy and arcifacting, but overall, they all performed pretty good. My least favorite sounding was the BOSS RV-6. it was very warm and colored my bass tone. Yes, it changed the sound of my bass. none of the other pedals really did. The JOYO and Valeton had a lot of noise in many of their BIG types of reverb, but were pretty standard for the rest. The JOYO, Valeton, and Ammoon were all room temperature. The Boss was warm, but the Gokko Creepy and this Flamma were ICY COLD. This is what I look for in a reverb, I like cold, crisp, empty reverb, and these two pedals did a great job of that. The controls on the Gokko were clumsy, and you would need to continuously dial in your sound, with no real setting for the TyPES that is claims to have. The controls on the Ammoon and JOYO were big, and easy to see, pretty easy to read. The controls on the Valeton were tiny, hard to wok with, and it was impossible to read. The HOF mini, not enough control for me, and you can only use 1 tone print at a time. if they had the HOF2 regular pedal in stock, I probably would have got that and stuck with it, and probably would have passed over this FLAMMA FS02, and that would have been most unfortunate.So, this pedal, Icy cold, very crisp, and the Halls and rooms couldn't feel any emptier, and I LOVE IT.The controls are great. There is a vertical indentation on top of them all, with a dot on one end, so you can easily see how each nob is set with a quick glance. The POCKETVERB also did Delay, which I don't really care for. fi you like delay, that is not a bad pedal for the price, only problem is you have only one set of controls for both effects, but it is manageable.The design of this pedal is unique, and very good, easy to use and I love it. There is a row of colored lights across the pedal. there are 7 lights to be exact, and they are each a different color. and you guessed it, they represent the type or reverb. There is no selector nob, with no tiny lettering to try to read and see if you are on the right type. you have one button above the light bank. you press it and it moves across to the right. the types are starting on left - to the right. Room, Hall, Church, Cave, Plate, Spring, Modulate. once you remember that (and I did quickly), you are set. ALSO, you can set the controls to neutral before you move to the next type, or you can move to that type, hit the foot switch to turn it off, adjust the controls to 12oclock, and then turn the reverb back on. you get Level which is MIX, high and low cut. These do not color your sound, they are used to remove any coloring that may occur (which I found none) then you have Decay and Pre-delay. standard.So, once you dial in the sound you like for the type you are on, including the level (mix), you can hold the button for a couple seconds, and it is saved. This way, when you come back to it, you don't have to neutral out the nobs, and start over. Very halpful. Also, if you do move the control, the light will flash, letting you know that something has changed, so you can be sure to save it, if you want, or ignore it if not.It is a nice, sturdy, cool looking, well built, feature rich reverb with an ICY cold, crisp, empty sound that does not color your tone, and its only $66, what more can you ask for. I guess if you like Delay with your reverb, you could ask for that. And they answered, cuz for about $30 more, you can get the Ekoverb by Flamma, and I bet its good. that one, you can control the reverb and delay separately, unlike the Ammoon PocketVerb, but thats what you get for the extra $40 bucksFrom what I understand, the older Boss RV-2 or 3 were icy cold, and that many boss fans are unhappy with the current RV-6 because of the warmth it has. If thats you, and you need a new reverb pedal, check this one outOh yeah, all that, and its stereoYou can easily factory re-set if you want to clear all the settings, just take the power out, then hold the button and power on, when you let go of the button, it resets.Plusyou can add or remove tails.take the power out, then hold the foot switch and put the power back in. this turns it on or off. When it is off, the pedal lights up RED (everything but the color lights for the type) and when it is on, the pedal lights up blue, so there is never a question which way it is. like I said, very well designed pedal.

The media could not be loaded. Majority of reviewers are guitarists, so I want to help out if it's a good fit for keyboard/synth pedal boards. I ran each algorithm on an M1 Organ 2-style patch I made on an Audiothingies Micromonsta. The sharp high frequency and sturdy bottom end pluck is a good test for a guitar-oriented reverb.In the video it starts with the clean bypassed signal. It's followed by the room algo which has a nice slapback effect. Next is the hall algo, very clean and still. I pulled the decay down on the church algo and it still had a massive tail. It's spacious and benefits from a bit of pre-delay, and it has a touch of shimmer which you can tame with the hi-cut. Both are good for situating in the mix.Cave algo is huge and has the most noticeable weight. I used the hi-cut but there is a good deal of mud an EQ pushing down 300 Hz would help out. It can beef things up, and it's also good as a stomped-in spot effect (if tails are on).The plate algo is fantastic, it has a characteristic whip and metallic brightness, and if in stereo gets wider during the decay. The spring algo is brighter, with a slight tonal shift in the decay. It's incredibly clean so if you're looking for amp tank dirt you'll want to introduce it some other way. This is more like the large BX20 in studio attics which minimized the twang/spoing. Either of these will help cut through the mix.The mod algo is most interesting to me. It's overtly modulated with a bloom. Use pre-delay to shift where that bloom starts. I'm a fan of the bombastic Lexicon reverbs of yore, this is like a cranked up version but cleaner. I increased the the level toward the end of the phrase so you could hear the wild tail.It sounds great on synth pads, adding a lot of motion. Following the mod algo, I play some chords so you can hear that motion on an otherwise static timbre.The video is in stereo but it sounds great in mono as well. The stereo management is nice, since it stays narrow under 100 Hz before it widens to a hump up to 2000 Hz before narrowing again. Lo- and hi-cut makes it easy to tailor to a sound. Just the right amount of knobs.Operation is quick and easy. One button to switch algos. Since the next algo will be set to however the knobs were saved, if you turn a knob it may sound like it's jumping from that value. Hold the button down to save the setting for the current algo. This is very useful since there is little time to twiddle these knobs in a performance.Tails on/off is a bit more involved. You need to remove and bring back power while holding the footswitch down. Excellent use of LEDs to indicate tail setting (blue/red), algo used (individual unique color and position), saving algo (rapid blinking), and if an algo setting has been changed (it will blink).Metal build, footswitch, knobs, feel sturdy. Clean lines with a slight sheen look great. Taller than TC pedals, shorter than Walrus. Automatic stereo sensing jack with mono operation via left channel only. The manual says to give it 300A but I gave it 100A and it was fine. As long as you have a quality true isolated power supply where other pedals won't sap it's probably okay. No battery compartment; there's a warranty voiding sticker on the bottom. It comes with black feet pre-attached, and positioned perfectly (it would annoy me if they weren't).Price fluctuates but it was $75 when I got it. I also have a TC Hall of Fame 2 since I like fiddling with Toneprint. But that's twice as much as this and in terms of immediate breadth is surpassed. Can't beat this bang for buck, and workflow is set-and-forget.

Bought this for a second small pedalboard for a small amp that had no reverb feature. This was to be used as a practice amp and possibly for small gigs, so I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money. I figured I'd give this a try. Turns out the presets on this reverb unit are giving me everything from a slap back echo effect to spacey reverb/echo effects to Fender dripping surf reverb that I could never get just right with my main pedalboard. Quality is questionable. Almost from the get-go, when I switched presets The Reverb volume would go full 100% and I would have to adjust the level control back and forth slightly in order to regain control of the level. Since I do not usually change reverb settings in the middle of songs, this was a slight annoyance. What has happened lately is when I power up the pedalboard, the reverb pedal refuses to go on and function, even though it is lit up. I then need to disconnect the power cord from it and reconnect it. The unit then turns on. I Love the sounds this pedal produces, but after a few months of use things seem to be headed south.
