FLAMMAFC05 Mini Modulation Pedal with Chorus Flanger Tremolo Phaser Vibrato Rotary Liquid Autowah Stutter Ring LowBit

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.

I use a auto wah on my guitar sometimes for Jerry Garcia like stuff, or occasional auto wah-pedal stuff, (think Voodoo Child) but not often enough to make space for one of the big ones. Do some of the big ones sound better? YES. ...but I tried most of the little ones and this one is dramatically better than the rest of them, and is entirely useable. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the big ones do sound better.

I got the envelope filter for $25. The enclosure is solid—not overly-so, but standard, I'd say. The jacks, switch, and knobs all feel good. As for the sound... it quacks. If you're looking to spend more, you could pick up a filter with more switches and knobs. For me, though, this little guy does all I need—and it's plenty tweakable as is. This is a great, affordable starting point for those looking to get into filter sounds.

Excellent envelope effect pedal. I love the sounds and the fact that you can adjust the intensity and get even deeper effects. Great tone and gives me the sound I was looking for!

This unit broke on me after just a couple of weeks. Fortunately, it was within the return window, so I was able to send it back.That said, even if it hadn't broken, I wouldve wanted to return it.The "tuner" part of this is pretty basic (and that's all it does). The bypass function was fine - no noise or anything. But also no buffer, which wouldve been nice to include at the front of my signal chain (you pay more for that in other pedals, so that's not a knock where I've deducted points).I found it would pretty consistently tune my G string just slightly sharp, which was annoying, since that string tends to ring out when making a D chord, creating a really bad dissonance. Having to constantly detune the G string left me guessing when I was properly in tune or not. This was a deal-breaker for me. Tuners need to tune the guitar. If they cant do that, what's the point.The tuner was also a little "slow" in that it didnt immediately respond to inputs.I think the Flamma line is awesome, and all of their pedals seems really high quality. But this one stuck out as a "miss" to me.

Wow, if only if they had these awesome affordable pedals when I was a kid. For the price, you can't beat it. Works as advertised.

I love this thing. It's pretty quiet and it adds some real funk to your sound. Not a must-have pedal, by any means. But fun and the price can't be beat.

I've been using this pedal on my electronic drum kit for gain and compression. Not using this for a fax as much so as a basic EQ with some drive and compression. It makes playing the drum kit over bass guitars a lot more fun! Seems like it's made well enough. This unit does cause some hum in the max though. I don't typically turn the gain up past noon which helps with the humming.
