FC01 Looper Pedal Drum Machine 2 in 1 Drum Looper Guitar Pedals, 20 Minutes Loop Time with 16 Drum Grooves, Tap Tempo, 44.1kHz/16Bit Mini Guitar Effects Pedal with 3 Mode

The FC14 (analog chorus), FC15 (analog flanger), and FC16 (optical tremolo) are my fifth, sixth, and seventh Flamma pedals. I discovered the brand a couple years ago and decided to try them out. I was skeptical at first because of the low low price, but as soon as I started turning the knobs I was immediately impressed. I ordered a few other pedals over the course of the following months. FC15 Analog Flanger: I'm a big fan of time delay effects and the flanger is probably my favorite of that kind. I've used many different flangers over the years and have ended up having various pedals which excel at a particular flange sound. For a $40 pedal, I wasn't expecting this Flamma to hold its own against the likes of my DOD, Ibanez,and Digitech pedals, but it really did give them a run for their money. I played with the FC15 for about an hour running through riffs from different genres and swapping around guitars. I was able to get all kinds of noises out of this little pedal. Really amazing! It is great at everything from subtle jet stream flange all the way to crazy ring modulation chimes. It's an added bonus that this is a true bypass pedal that tales up so little space on a pedal board. The Flamma FC15 Analog Flanger is a perfect choice for beginners and experienced players alike. FC14 Analog Chorus: Chorus is an essential effect to have, I think, and much like with flangers, I have owned quite a few. I've used the DigiTech Chorus Factory as my main chorus pedal for a decade. I also have a great Ibanez Dual Chorus that is really nice for quickly switching between two different chorus sounds. The FC14 can't do that neat trick, but it certainly can produce the entire spectrum of chorus effect sounds I could ever need. I spent even more time playing around with this chorus pedal, not only trying different guitars, but also testing clean, distorted, and even acoustic settings. I tend to like a nice shimmering chorus to add a nice layer to my tone and I was really happy with the results I could get out of this little pedal. I could also very easily get the Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins Small Clone-like sounds and still be able to kick it up another notch or two. As I am in the process of redoing my pedalboard, this may become the main chorus pedal. It gives me the sounds I want and takes up less space on my board. FC16 Optical Tremolo: I used to have a Boss Tremolo pedal and got rid of it when I got a Fender Twin amp with build-in trem. But when I moved abroad, I no longer had access to my amp, so I was excited to try out Flamma's optical trem. It does an excellent job of applying the effect in a way that sounds organic. I played around with settings and ran it through the effects loop and it was easy to create these crazy ambient tones as well a subtle tone that sounded very natural. It handles additional effects well too. I have a gig in August where I will use this for some songs and I'm really happy with how it sounded in just one afternoon of playing. And I have heard people complain about Flamma pedals being noisy. In my experience, they haven't been very noisy. I use a 1-spot and a daisy chain and haven't needed to add my noise gate when playing with just the Flammas. Maybe others will have different results, but that's been my personal experience. Anyway, Flamma makes good quality bang-for-your-buck pedals and I recommend giving them a try, whether you are a beginner or a pro. Even if you are a pedal hog like me.

This tiny little box packs a punch. The color and range knobs are a game changer, making this a SUPER versatile modulation pedal. Using those it is capable of creating many different common 70s Flanger sounds and beyond including some that are almost in the realm of 80s Chorus or 60s Univibe. The color knob is much like a resonance control on a moog filter. It has a range from subtle wooshing that is akin to a mild chorus to classic hollow-pipe sound all the way to howling resonant feedback like tone. The range control can be thought of as depth. It will take you from a slight wiggle in tone all the way to a strong metallic robot like sound. The rate control has a decent range from the slow climb and fall of "Baracuda" or "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", all the way to a frantic warble much like the the chorus effect used in "Come As You Are" and even faster than that. The filter switch is neat, it seems to bypass the oscillation creating a cocked wah/comb filter type of effect. Using the color and range knobs with it you can select what range you wish to filter and how strong the filter is. This gives you a range of sounds from a boost in a particular frequency to a playing through a hollow tube or in a barrel all the way to an almost ring modulator sound. Overall this Flanger/Filter is well worth the price its even smaller than most mini pedals and has a ton of range in tones. It has heft to it, seems well built... Its also a cool matte PURPLE color and came with a sticker! LOL Cant beat that! Hahaha

I wanted to try auto wah / envelope filter on my basses for funk without spending much, so since I've enjoyed Flamma products in the past, I decided to give the FLAMMA FC11 Auto Wah Pedal a shot. First, be aware that it's tiny, and it requires a power supply. I had spots left on my power supply, so I was fine with that. It doesn't use a battery, so you will need a power supply. After trying it with a Jazz bass and a Bronco, here's what I found. This pedal offers somewhat subtle quack - it's there, and you can absolutely hear it. The odd thing is you can hear it more when playing with moderate attack - if you slap, the quack becomes inaudible. I'm guessing that if you use this pedal with a compressor, you'll be able to adjust things so you always get quack, but I don't use a compressor as I like to vary my dynamics, so when I slap or play hard would be when I want more quack, and this pedal doesn't do that. I think if you use a compressor ahead of this pedal on your signal chain or simply don't play very hard, you'll get enough quack to deliver some funk or other styles where you need auto wah. Not only does this pedal NOT suck the bass out of my tone (yay!), but And it is silent - no hiss, no hum, no snap, crackle or pop. And you can't beat the price plus if you have only a part of a space on your board, chances are this pedal will fit. Overall, a good pedal at an excellent price, if not quite what I had in mind.

Extremely compact and sturdy as a brick, quality sounds are what you get from this beauty of a pedal. Obviously aimed at professionals and equally useable by any amateur this Analog Chorus Pedal is a keeper once you try it. Very simple and effective, easy-to-use controls allow you to dial-in just the right Chorus you desire. 'Level' controls just how much Chorus is present in the output mix (it is *not* Volume). 'Depth' controls the intensity of the Chorus, and 'Rate' controls the speed of the vibrating pitch. These controls are completely intuitive and very effective to use. This pedal takes up minimal space on a Pedalboard and has properly offset input and output ports to minimize the space needed for connecting cables. It requires a 9V Negative-tip power supply which does not come standard but is available here in one of the bundles for those that need it. If you are looking for a Chorus pedal, definitely give this one a try and I am sure you will agree - it is a real keeper !

Many useful sounds in this little thing (FC-05 modulation pedal), and its small footprint is a plus. Importantly, it doesn't mess with your guitar tone when bypassed like some of the really cheap pedals. Most of the effects are decent. Use mine mostly for ring mod, occasionally for stutter or tremolo. Auto wah and flanger are pretty good but the vibe and 'liquid' (sample & hold filter) algorithms don't do those effects as well as a real pedal. Still, at this price it's good to have even low quality versions included. The box does prefer isolated power; I gave it an individual outlet on my Power2plus and that works fine. There's a bit of hiss even when it's bypassed; noticeable with an amp turned up to band volume. As long as there's a noisegate somewhere downstream, IMO it's good enough for live use. The casing is solid but I suspect the components inside are not so robust. Mine worked fine for eight months and then just died. Don't know for sure if it was defective or simply fragile. But at this price I just ordered another of the same pedal.

So reading these reviews it’s clear once again that envelope filters are too hard for most musicians to figure out. I will try to explain. This isn’t an auto-wah, if you want one of those maybe Joyo Wow Wah would help. Wahs shift around a peaking filter, while this Flamma shifts around a resonant high pass filter (HPF). This is the same kind of filter used in most synths, and indeed Moog has long made an envelope filter pedal. What synths call Resonance this calls “Q” and what synths call Cutoff Frequency this calls “Tone.” “Decay” is similar to the ADSR decay on a filter that is following an envelope. Armed with that knowledge (though you may know nothing about synths but carry on), we can have some initial settings to try. I suggest setting Q and Tone in the top quarter of the range if not dimed. decay in the lower half of the range, maybe 11:00. Engage the pedal with the switch, the light will turn on if powered properly, and then comes the hard part: sensitivity. The sensitivity control decides when to trigger a sweep of this resonant HPF based on how loud the incoming signal gets. Sweep the control slowly through its entire range to start hearing the quacking of the filter. This is a very unironically sensitive control and it has to be nailed to the signal level for good sweeps to happen. Therefore you may need to compress or distort your signal *before* hitting this pedal, which will give it an even volume level to work with and sweep best on. The nice thing about this type of pedal is it maintains full bass information as it works. An auto-wah typically does not…meaning the envelope filter is favored for bass and synth use and the auto-wah for electric guitars. But you can use any with any understanding the tradeoffs. Otherwise, this is a completely terrific deal, really the only thing that could be improved much is the sensitivity could be more forgiving in its setting. It has to be perfectly nailed to how loud the signal is coming into the pedal otherwise you won’t sweep. Also, if your signal doesn’t have much high frequency information to resonate it won’t be a particularly strong effect. But this pedal sounds good here, however, realize I know this stuff inside and out and you are forgiven if this is too hard to get right in practice.

This keeps connecting to the wrong pedal for some reason. This is for the Flamma Tuner. It doesn't even work. I used it when I first got it and it was fine. Afterwards i hadn't used it till months later and passed the window to return it. I realized then, it doesn't work unless you unplug it and then plug it back in.

*updated review!! Flamma reached out to me after seeing my initial review. They immediately addressed my concerns and shipped out a new pedal for me. The pedal works great and as I’ve already said, it sounds amazing and is super versatile. Great bang for the buck. So five stars for the pedal and five stars for Flamma customer service!!!! There aren’t a lot of companies out there that take that kind of initiative to make sure that their customer is happy! Based on the quality of the replacement and the customer service, I will definitely be buying more from this company! Original review: First the positive. The sounds this pedal makes for the price are great. There is a lot you can get out of this little box. Its compact and easily fits in your pedal board. The negatives. You cant leave it plugged in on the pedal board for some reason. You have to unplug it, and then replug it in order for it to power back on. There is also quite a bit of latency when you are switching between on and off for the effect. If these few minor problems could be fixed, this would be five stars. Because it really does have great sound options. I probably would have returned it, but I went a few days past the window.
