FLAMMA FS08 Octave Pedal Electric Guitar Polyphonic Octave Effects Pedal Dry Signal Control 7 Presets Slots

This is an amazing reverb pedal. If you told me this pedal costs twice what it actually costs, I would believe it. I own a Boss RV-6 and a Chase Bliss Mood, and this pedal holds its own against them. I plugged it in this morning and had originally thought I would spend an hour or two getting to know it and play around with it, but it's already been four hours and I'm still having fun tweaking knobs and being immersed in the sounds coming out of this thing. To make this review short, I've decided to list the things I like the most:1. THE AESTHETICS: I'm really into how this pedal looks. From the flux capacitor-like foot switch to the color to the preset bar, It's sleek and futuristic.2. THE PRESETS: I love that the 7 presets double as savable presets. With my Boss RV-6, if I find a setting I like, I have to snap a picture before I can change anything, and now I just have dozens of photos in my phone that I have to scroll through to find the right one. It's so useful and easy to just save the setting I Like and never have to worry about losing it or messing around with knobs between songs.3. HIGH/LOW CUT FILTER: The high/low cuts are very easy to dial in so that it sounds great with any guitar or pickup configuration. I'm getting into vinyl-sounding lofi neo soul kind of stuff, so it's nice to be able to have the reverb reflect the overall eq of my setup.4. PRESET 7: Preset 7 is really where this pedal shines (or shimmers - see what i did there?). In fact, it could be the whole pedal and I'd still buy it just for that. It's a unique combo of mod/delay/verb that doesn't sound like anything else I have. I also really like the cave setting for slow, expanded ambient drones.5. VERSATILITY: Like most musicians, I play diverse genres, including jazz, blues, ambient, post-rock, and pop. This pedal handles them all super well. I can get a nice slapback for blues, subtle room reverb for jazz, and long, cascading shimmer for ambient.6. STEREO: I play only through an amp sim into my interface, so stereo is a must for my setup. To get such an exceptional use of stereo out of a pedal at this price-point amazes me. My RV-6 ostensibly has stereo, but I've never really noticed it taking advantage of it. This, however, feels like a true stereo pedal.I'm definitely going to add it to my board along with the RV-6 and Mood, as it provides some great features and functionality and really complements them. If you're looking for a reverb pedal that's simple to use but offers a ton of features and creative ways to make your own sound, I highly suggest the Flamma Reverb pedal!

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.

I finally broke down and joined the Looper fan club, and I wish I had done it sooner. It really makes a great "sketch pad" to try new ideas, and it's a great learning tool.The cons- the instructions that came with it were a little vague, and I'm a looper newbie, so it took a little getting used to. A trip to YouTube and a little experimenting got me going pretty quickly.I still can't find the accessory footswitch control, which would be nice to have.Some of the drum patterns are, well, horrible. It would be nice to have a "fill" feature, and some editing control over the drums as well.It also might just be me, but the tap tempo is hard to use.The pros-It works, it sounds good, and with 90 drum loops and 10 metronome settings, you might not find THE perfect drum beat, but there's something in there that's pretty close.It's easy to use, and putting overdubs down is a painless affair.Being able to sync the looper and drums is definitely a nice touch.The sound quality is excellent, too.Overall, I'm happy. For the money, it has some nice features, and most importantly, it works as it should. I've had no issues in about 6 months.I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice looper for a good price. It's a lot of looper for the price.

Esta genial el pedal!

Siempre he tenido pedales tipo mini, ya se imaginarán el sonido que se les puede sacar, (algo limitado). Este pedal es muy versátil, es un gran cambio.Se le pueden sacar muy buenos sonidos, sobre todo con los knobs de tono, y el shimmer que llega a tener en ciertos modos.

(FS02 Reverb) Seriously. This thing has absolutely no right to sound this good and have these features for this money.The shimmer verb is worth the price of admission alone. Stereo In and out, and the algorithms in a stereo setup sound incredible. There honestly isn't a bad sound on this thing. From basic rooms and springs, to like 20sec decays on the shimmer setting, it just all kills. Internal build quality and components are surprisingly good for the price as well.Another plus- My first unit had a noise issue, and with a budget offshore brand on Amazon you might expect that you'd have a whelk's chance in a supernova of getting any kind of support.... But support was a real person, responsive to emails, got me sorted with a replacement unit extremely quickly under warranty and provided a return shipping label. Cannot recommend enough.

This EKOVERB is absolutly cool, great sounds, excellent price, thank you.

I haven't had it long enough but I'm liking it already. Will have to get used to both the buttons and how they cycle for different functions. Amazon recommended a power adapter along with this purchase (that I bought) only to be surprised with a power adapter in the FLAMMA box, included.
