My "beginning guitar" grandson will be giggling over the crazy sounds coming from his fingers! Once he learns a few chords, I'm adding this to his tiny arsenal.
Flamma lamma ding dong my friend. I picked this pedal up for $35USD on Amazon. My phaser mysteriously disappeared at a gig, I came Accross your video and thought “for $40 why not?” I’m happy with it. It’s totally usable and takes up no space on my board. Thanks for the honest review.
I picked up one of these about a month ago and I REALLY like the trem, if you set it to subtle, it's just beautiful. I also really like the phaser in this, although it's no Mutron, it's quite good considering what the pedal cost. Chorus is very nice, too. I also have the Reverb pedal and while it doesn't do a spring reverb sound, it does sound really good all the same. Both of these pedals are winners in my book. There's an analog phaser pedal that's going to be released on 7/31, which looks promising.
I've bought one after seeing a few videos, including this one, and after playing a lot with it and comparing it with some other effects I have, the only effects that really stand out for me are the Trem and especially the Rotary, which I really like. The auto wah is fun, the chorus/flanger/phaser are really lacking for me, the vibra is ok, and the rest is just useless gimmicks... The big sister seems way better, for a bit more, but with programmable presets.
Flamma lamma ding dong! It’s pretty amazing how good effects are for that price nowadays. I remember when I started playing in the mid nineties you couldn’t get 1 of those effects for that price 😊 Not too sure on the more experimental effects but if you just wanted a basic chorus/flanger/phaser/tremolo then I don’t know why you wouldn’t have this. Even if you wanted to get 1 for pre and 1 for post drive sounds it would be cheaper than most brands… although the colour may start making you feel a bit seasick…
The CTRL knob should have just been labelled TONE. As it is, it implies a multi-function control, i.e., MIX for chorus, REGEN for flange, SHAPE for tremolo, etc. Especially if you know the full-sized version of this (the FS05), which does have two multi-function knobs labelled CTRL1 and CTRL2 and perform different functions for each setting. In fact, many Flamma pedals have multi-function knobs labelled CTRL. But this one fakes you out instead. Honestly, I wish I'd watched the video first.....
Flamma Lamma Ding Dong! Lovely review... does this work on a 9V or 12V DC? Also curious to know, if you operate a 9V pedal on a 12V supply, would it damage the pedal?
Flammalamadingdong! I just bought a used one of these at Guitar Center today for $24, it's notreleased yet, i have to wait til day after tomorrow to pick it up, but man, i'm actually really excited about that low bit mode! I'm a sucker for lo-fi sounds! I have all these effects (minus ring mod, i can't gel with it) on my main board, have a Boss MD-500 and a few other specific modulations on my second board, and lo-fi noise and bit-crushy things on both boards, and am gonna try it on both setups anyway, but i'm sorta thinking it'll actually end up on my bass rig most likely since my bass setup only consist of a Boss noise gate, Empress compressor, Havalina fuzz, TS808, and a Rat, i sorta need some fun-factor effects there, all i have are tone-shaping and drive pedals for my bass, sorta boring. Looking forward to how they all sound on the low-end, especially that low bit, sturter and vibrato! Curious if that liquid setting fairs a little better on bass as well, a couple days from now, and i'll have my answer :) more eager than i was before now :P
Good reference point for sound. One brand new Flamma pedal caught on fire ( returned and replaced by a Joyo ) and I now have 7 not 11 sounds from that pedal. $20 range US prices, not worth it.
Flamma lamma ding dong. Another great demo, thank you. I think I’ll grab one of these for $40. Pretty sure that’s like a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread and some egg’s these days so it’s a steal at that price. The chorus, flanger and tremolo are what I’d mainly use it for but the other effects are cool to have too. Like you said “it’s a no brainer”. Thanks again.
I like Flamma. I have the FC02 reverb and it's very very nice - does normal, blues/surf/rock stuff just fine and does some real nice ambient sounds when you get extreme with the knobs. This pedal does seem like a decent value, but none of the sounds are particularly compelling. I guess I prefer pedals that do at least one thing really well over these jack of all trades/master of none things.
That low bit reminds me of old school video games like ‘Street Fighter’ and others. I will be purchasing this Flamma pedal for sure. Great video my friend. Oh and Flammalaladingdong🤪 Craig
Flamma-lama-dingdong! I have a Sonicake 11 mods pedal that is almost identical to that but actually, I’m sorry to say, just a little bit better…it has a jet flanger (rhymes with banger). It is a great idea to have one pedal with loads of different mods though, apart from chorus I rarely engage more than one mod at once. I say apart from chorus because I’m a chorus always on sort of fellow but I’m very very fussy about my chorus pedals, in fact I’ve only two that I love:- a Sonicake that is subtle but has a switch that adds lushness and a 1980s Aria stereo chorus that is the chorus that all choruses should aspire to being like…it’s fantastic!
@@cmmooney564 im actually torn between the two, and I feel like im gonna go with the sonicake. Thanks for your review by the way. I agree, they are around $65 over here in my area now, but its still worth it.
You’re more than welcome. My instinct tells me the two pedals may have a lot more in common then the manufacturers would have us believe. My original reason for buying the Sonicake was that I was looking for a jet flanger (rhymes with banger) but I found that the settings for one mod don’t need to be adjusted for most of the others, well for my tastes anyway but not for two effects: Crying bot and LOFI, those two require more fiddling. I LOVE PEDALS!!!…sorry, I went a little unhinged there. 😊
A couple of weeks ago, I’d have said I have no need of this. But since the Line6 DL4 MkII, I’m thinking I need to create a board of only a few, very versatile green pedals.
04/26/2023: I am interested in the: FLAMMA FC03 Guitar Delay Pedal Mini Digital Guitar Pedal with 3 Delay Effects Modes Analog Real Echo Tape Echo True Bypass. I want the Slap-back Rockabilly sound, and the Country Trang sound. But, I also want to turn-off the echo/reverb and just have a "clean delay" for the clean channel on my amp. Will this pedal shut-off echo/reverb?
Flamma-lamma ding-dong, baby! :-) I got the pedal as a gift from a friend. It definitely has some usable stuff on it. Some of it waaaaay too specific...? Like you said, allows for decent experimentation, and if you need something more high-powered, you get it later. Good value for the money.
Thank you for such a complete evaluation on this pedal. Looking at the basic “is it useable” and “does it sound good” level of things. Seems like a great deal. Thanks again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For the price well worth it, I’ve got the Flamma FS02 Reverb which is also a really good sounding pedal, well manufactured, good design and can save 7 presets. The modulation fx sound good enough for a multi pedal, you can’t complain for that price, I’d say it’s a better pedal than price suggests. Great demo as usual Andy, I don’t understand what the Liquid effect on many of the multi modulation pedals is supposed to really create or emulate? But pretty useless for many, but it’s there if you want it, but you can’t expect too much. Yeh the slicer ain’t great but not too bad slow but fast is a bag of s!!!!! Not a huge fan of Ring but it’s useable if you want it, low bit the control changes the bit rate I think but please correct me if I’m wrong someone, again it’s there for people who to use it. Flamma lamma ding dong!
I like Flamma pedals but I just bought a Wampler Terraform. Do you think I need to get this one still? Maybe. layered modulations? Flamma lamma ding dong!
I'm a beginner that looking for a tremolo at the moment at it sounds like good enough for that purpose, plus other effects to explore yet not sure if I really need them at the moment..
"Flamma lamma ding dong!" ........... hmmm maybe. Liquid is the worst. Stutter, Ring Modulation and Low Bit are also bad. So it's actually 7 usable effects for $40 bucks.
I have this pedal and its alot of fun. I have not tried it in my pedal board chain yet. Some of the Amazon reviews said it can be a little noisy in a pedal board chain. Flamma Longa Ding Ding
Pedals need a Level Control. This one is no exception. I tried one. There is a quite noticeable volume increase when the pedal is engaged. This would be useless in a live situation. Your sound man will shoot you.
Brian Wampler can't be happy that his Terraform has been undercut by the Flamma-lama-ding-dong. It is a beginner's mod pedal, but the metallic sounds might in time drive the player to look at better options.
you are high. some of the effects are top notch, and for the amount of great usable tones you get for $40 is is amazing. I have tons of gear, and I found some nice tones on this thing I can't fine in other places. I'd put this on a bar-tour pedal board any day. In fact that's the plan!
Flammalamadingdong. Good for $40+. You're using it wrong lol. I know you couldn't resist turning up the depth. Too much depth no good. It's works best and intended to add a little flavor not over saturate the sound. If I didn't have a Mod pedal with 16 settings I'd get the Flamma Mod pedal ✌
It's a shame to destroy the effect by choosing sounds no one can stand for a minute. You can play when you are alone the unusable sounds. I am sorry, but you ruin it my friend. Somebody got to tell you to stop acting like a child. Effect is good
