Nice comparison! I own and use both pedals. I'm much more oriented toward the HOF2, but the FS02 has served me well.Ive had them both on my board, using the HOF2 for the shimmer mode and the FSO2 for the "always on" hall mode. I like the MASH buttons on the HOF as well as the tone print slots, so if I had to pick, I would go with the HOF2. Thanks for the nice, slow knob twisting. I learned some things about my reverb pedals by watching this!
The trails mode was not activated during this video on the Flamma pedal, it will light up Blue when the trails function is on. For the money I don't think there's anything that comes close with this feature set. You will need a power supply that can support 300ma or the pedal may not function properly but mine has worked flawlessly for 2 years now.
Dear friend, you who tested the pedals live, can you tell me which one you liked the most? From the video the two have a nice sound, but I have the impression that the HOF is a little superior.... And live? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks for this comparison as I'm looking at buying one of these for playing worship lead guitar at church! Are you able to change presets in live situation with the footswitch? It looks like you can
Thank you very much 🙏 In the Hof2 you can upload three footprints (your own tones) but you can't change modes with foot, you must do it with your hands
@@Melodica9 Listen boy: RU-vid is not a tool to embarrass yourself. If you cant play (check his pathetic channel) and don't know nothing about music and tech the only thing left for you is shittalk (as stated in the comment above). If that is your way in life no one will care for you at all. At least I do not.
I put the flama and the mariana on my wish list like alittle kid. Im over 50 and its pedal heaven these days. Back then they were expensive like Straymon etc with same brands all over. So much fun now!
Hello everyone and thank you. I think having the pre-delay and separate tones is an added value. Personally I get the reverbs put by the Mixer....in stereo, same thing for the delays. There is no comparison. Warm greetings from Italy.-
Yeah, good point - the pre delay toggle on the HOF2 does next to nothing unless you have all 3 dials near or at max, whereas you can hear a clear difference using the pre delay knob on the Flamma.
Something to consider is the current draw: HOF requires 100 Ma, Flamma 300 Ma. For me the reason not to get the flamma, I didn’t want to add an extra powersupply to my board. I prefer the sounds in the Flamma, HOF sounds overall pretty dark to my ears.
I have 3 of the flamma pedals, it's the first time I've heard a pedal glitch our due to power draw. It's really great honestly, but yeah, I have 3 of these and need a special power setup.
@@PramukoAji If it just sound and not versatility the new Fender Hammertone Reverb at $100.00 USD borders on a Strymon. You get plate, room and hall. It is aimed at guys in a band where one plays basically conventional tunes without time or need for ambiance things. You can pay 3 times the price and get more choices but not better sound. It is simply all about quality over quantity.
The huge difference is in the features provided in the HOF honestly. It blows Flamma out of the water. The HOF has 2 things that make it far and away better than the flamma -> switchable bypass - either true bypass or buffered, with a high quality buffer (100ohm output) AND it offers analog dry though, so your actual unaffected signal can be mixed / passed through untouched. The Flamma will convert your analog goodness to a digital signal. Also, the flamma does not offer true bypass. Both stereo in/ out. I didn’t even mention the TonePrint which also make the HOF not only better, but a better value. It also has more pre-loaded Reverb algorithms.
I have both: HOF2 with my Moog Voyager and FS02 with my lo-fi Volca setup. I think both are really lovely. I still need to figure out my own preferable settings on the FS02 in my use case. Current draw on Flamma is a good point. Now I have a bad daisy-chain power adaptor, which might not be good enough.
Same (or maybe better) sound for half the price. Damn Flamma, you have made an impressive pedal! Great demo man, keep up the great work, subscribed :) I have a question: How long have you been using the Flamma pedal? Is it well-built & sturdy?
Help advice please. They both sound good. I don't play a guitar. I use tape loops and pedal feedback with a few drones. Reverbs are the bane of my life. I've owned a few cheap ones that either sound bad, to much dry signal or worst still, clip in an unusable digital way with the hot signals I use. I like my Holy Grail but it's one knob and mono. Has anyone used the flammable on synths? Can it handle a hot signal? These are in my budget, The Cathedral looks great but the footprint is an issue. Does the hof foots witch swell?
I haven't found a Reverb pedal I'm happy with yet. I currently just have the EHX Canyon, and while I really love the shimmer on it, I don't care for the rest. Colors my tone too much. I'd like to buy a better Reverb but I hesitate to pay $300 for one of the supposedly "really good ones."
@mr.d.572 I ended up buying a Blackhole and sent it back. Its stereo, small footprint, but you pull up a knob loads of the parameters change, this knob becomes this one.etc. I bought it thinking there was no menu, turns out there's a menu, no screen. Also for a device full of "great reverbs" it wasn't that easy to diall something in.
I have owned the hall of fame and didn't really enjoy it in use, I bought the Flamma and it arrived but no reverb it was defective and is currently being swapped out but I still think the Flamma is going to be a better buy and more use especially with the pre delay knob.
I had the TC delay pedal and the mash button didn't work as well (the footswitch was temperamental) and the tone prints drove me bonkers. I wouldn't get another TC pedal with those features. I just got the Flamma three days ago and love it. Very easy to dial in and saving presets is simple. Only quibble is not being able to toggle between settings using the footswitch. It would have been convenient to have, but not a dealbreaker for a pedal in this price range.
Привет всем ревероманам! Мое мнение,первое- фламма чуть больше фонит,второе-более металл.призвук и третье - они обе хороши!!! Смотря с каким инструментом ( акустика или электро),с перегрузом или без и конечно каую музыку играть... Holl /больше подходит для рокеров и акустиков,а Фламма для пространственно-космической как это делает Перри. Ну конечно у каждого свой вкус и это чисто мое субьективное мнение.
Thanks for the video. To me, both have a slight glassy trail, that has almost a subtle bit of a vibrato to it, which I don't particularly like. I like a smooth trail. With that said, I'm leaning towards buying the HOF or a Boss. Between these two, I definitely like the HOF, it's a bit more lush. and that 300 ma 9volt flamma adapter is a deal breaker for my pedal board.
They are both good! I sympathize with those who have to choose between these two pedals)) Any of them will help interplanetary flights. Thanks for the demo🌌
@@dr.spacekir Awh right ok. That’s good to know as some pedals will run on battery’s. Much appreciated for the info. Have you got any videos on RU-vid of what you play. ??
TC is better and there is no discussion. But is there any advantage for being receiving L and R stereo signal? Because FLAMMA is receiving MONO signal, only L.
@@PerryFrank so the only difference is pre-delay activated as "long" in TC versus pre-delay activated as "short" close in FLAMMA. But I have to congratulate you for the excellent video, great quality, the sound is very good. The first half of the video I found TC richer, but from the middle to the front of the video FLAMA in mode 7 and Cave were impressive. Comparing the price of both FLAMMA offers more for less money. Sucess! 🤜🤛 🇧🇷
I've owned both, and on the dial settings they're both pretty good, I would have preferred trails on with the Flamma for a better head to head comparison, but there's nothing on the Flamma that compares with the toneprint and deep editing features on the HOF2. My 2 cents: If your musical tastes revolve around reverb, go with the HOF2. Otherwise, the Flamma pedal will satisfy 95% of your reverb needs for 30-40% less money. It would be nice for Perry to compare these two with the Digitech Polara, it's out of production but is still a serious contender for best affordable (sub $150 used) reverb. Great video - worth listening to for the playing alone.
Nice video! I have the HOF and I'm thinking on switching to the Flamma. Do you know if the Flamma works with dry-through signal as the HOF does? Thanks Perry!!!
Thank You for this video.They are both on my wishlist.I heard,that HoF works with battery not long.For outdoor music is that very important.What is Your opinion?
This is great, so relaxing if nothing else! Thanks for such attention to detail and showing all the knob sweeps. I have had the Mooer R7, which is basically the Flamma in this format (same company or just from the same factory?). I traded it for the upgraded R7 X2 which hugely improves everything and puts the dry sound "behind" the reverb which is much better to my ear. Have been really hoping the flamma would follow as I much prefer the simplicity and larger firm compared to the original R7. Also agree with whoever said the 300ma draw is a real tragedy. The R7x2 is the same and it has to have it's own powerbank on my boards.
Which has a better build quality? Im a beginner guitarist but I'd like something that will last, just to use at home. They both sound righteous when used in this demo
