Flamma sent me 3 pedals to check out and two of them are surprisingly good! the other one.... It has potential but has a few quirks you need to know about.

5:13 I love your genuine reactions. You can really tell that you hold to the disclaimer in the beginning! Keep it up, brother! 🤙
thank you for the high quality videos , Ryan You are the best!
Ok, I own this reverb pedal. Each time you switch modes you need to move EVERY KNOB to know where it is set. Once you do this and restart them all from the same place there is a bit more of a distinct character from each delay. Also USE THAT SAVE BUTTON!
1st setting (Room) sounds great and is easy to use, just go easy on the pre delay.
The 2nd setting sounds very similar when the settings are low, but has the potential for MUCH more reverb. I think it's the most flexible in terms of it being fairly balanced in the eq department, and capable of both tame reverb sounds and "space bathroom" sounds equally.
The 3rd setting and the 4th seem related, but the 3rd setting has a huge emphasis on the high frequencies and the 4th has huge emphasis on the low frequencies. I use this one when I plan on doing ambient sounds but I also plan on playing too many notes :) Use your tone knobs!
The 4th setting tends to go off the rails if your decay is set to max and you don't attenuate some of those low frequencies. One of my favorites it you want to play a few notes and have them turn into an orchestra.
The 5th setting you absolutely need to tame the high sounds (it's supposed to be a plate but only approaches plate sounds if you chill out on the high frequencies). Once dialed it sounds great, I'd use it for more conventional sounds.
The 6th doesn't sound like a spring. I haven't found a great use for it yet. Let's face it, all of these have one or more "bummer" settings on them and for me, this one gets skipped a lot.
The 7th is really cool, the modulation is subtle and musical. I particularly like it with my acoustic baritone guitar. Sounds great under a lot of different settings. Possibly my favorite.
Hi man, thank you for provide this detailed info. just to make sure i understand properly, when you switch from one mode to the other do you need to reconfigure the reverb? Does the save button not record each mode individually?
@@eberelias Yes it does..On each reverb type u can save your settings with the save button.
@@patrickr6505 thanks I bought one, all I needed
@@eberelias It's a great pedal.. very unique..
I have the CKK infinite reverb too
Do you have to reach down and use your finger each time you want to switch patches? Too bad they didn't make that switch accessible with your foot.
I really enjoy your videos, Ryan! I've been eyeing the FS06 Preamp and I helped me pull the trigger on one...
Great recovery on the preamp. Glad you figured it out.
Thank you for demo-ing these pedals!! I WISH I had seen this before getting the Flamma Delay - HATED it. However you HAVE sold me on their preamp pedal!! Officially I'm on the fence on their reverb, but I'm leaning toward yes😊
Interesting sounds, the preamp sounded loads better than earlier. Keep these affordable videos coming!
Have the reverb and delay and they have both moved onto my boards as secondary sounds. They are full of character!
I decided to do the same
Ryan, I love your videos! This one was pretty funny--the company sent you a couple of headstock tuners, and you tune your guitar with your cell phone......
You configure your pedals exactly the same as me lol playing the strings quickly going through the effects to perceive the difference and with that you also realize the performance. Excellent!
The preamp should be placed before the delay and reverb. That way they are in the “effects loop”. Except if you want to send them into dirt for some reason, which is totally valid and can be musical, but isn’t the norm.
Why are you making this comment? That's what he does in the video. You can see the pedals going right to left input to output as Preamp, reverb, delay.
@@HeelBJC 2:30 “so I’m assuming that will go at the end”
I was telling people who heard that comment that, no, the preamp doesn’t go at the end, and that’s why it’s no problem that the preamp is mono while the delay/verb is stereo.
That disclaimer is actually great!
Good review. That’s a bang for the buck reverb it has it all or comes close
Preamp reminds me of the look of the Revv G3. Reverb does sound good and clear! Drip sounds like a laser drip of the future but it's not offensive. Spring is always tough on these affordables. (I love Mosky Spring though but it's kind of its own vibe). Good edit and explanation on the preamp. They need to send ya a Fs22 Ekoverb to show us. KNÖBS
Paint job looks great!
I own the reverb pedal and I'm a big fan of it. The modulation (7th) setting is very pretty, and probably my favorite. 4 (cave) can really bring out the low notes, and it can sound pretty epic if you're playing with an octave down. 3 (church) is similar to 4 but with more emphasis on the highs and less on the lows. 1 (room) and 5 (plate) are good too but I don't use them as much as the others I mentioned. And we don't talk about 6.
I've had the reverb for 7 weeks it's brilliant. The save buttons are great.
May i ask why only 7 weeks?
DANG, these pedals sound solid. Right after i got myself a midiverb II for about the price of that reverb too lol. The reverb and delay gives me the vibe of the Ocean Machine by Mooer but without the issues i had personally with the menus- which is a shame because i LOVE its sound. Also the new disclaimer is rad Ryan!
You can change the description now you figured out how the preamp supposed to work,... great video man!
Yeah I need to do that
These pedals are cool sounding, definitely try more.
I love Editing Ryan. You are just Ryan.
I just got this pedal and you need to turn knobs to notice the changes from each preset. I thought they sounded the same until I fiddled with it. I love that you can save the presets. You can also turn off the reverb trails if you wish. Blue light means tails are in, red light means they're turned off.
I didn't get it for spring reverb. My Ampeg Reverbrocket has a lovely spring reverb. I got this pedal for the ambient wash mainly.
I liked It, thank you for explain about how to active cab simulator. I need for it and only you show this. Sorry my english, I'm studing.
Just picked up a flamma reverb and am satisfied. It creates a decent stereo image with just enough depth to be stereo but not enough to be a distraction. I know you said it didn't sound stereo but you can tell immediately when panning both outputs to the middle that something is lost from having them panned left and right. I'm not going to put this on my live board but instead use it for recording tracks.
But according to all the people watching me on here I guess passing $75 for a "decent" pedal that doesn't fully deliver and doesn't even come with the power to make it work out of the box is worth it to your generation? Enjoy the "decent" ridiculous priced China pedal. I'm done trying to help.
@@Charlie_Underscore good lord, give it rest.
...A "GREAT"-line of affordable-pedals with "Big-Boy" amenities...Thank you,Ryan!!!...Peace...
Seems like he's using the reverb with the trails function off as it would light up with blue lights. Sounds even better to me with the trails on and I am very very happy with this pedal.
Your guitar sounds really, really bright to my ears.
I use the Joyo American because it emulates Fender amps so nicely. I play it with my Fender Vaporizor 13 watt tube amp. I have 3 different extension cabinets connected to the amp. This setup gives me as much as a surround sound as possible. All 3 cabinets are custom made by myself. This setup is also used for my sound on my computer, an all around entertainment center that I call my Wall of Sound.
I just couldn't bond with the vaporizer as much as I tried. Sounds like all I needed for my Fender amp to sound like a Fender amp was a pedal that modeled a Fender amp
You went down the rabbit rail with reverb #6 when you were suppose to just be quickly running through them. lol. That's totally something I would do in the middle of a video. Thanks for sharing this. I was thinking about this pedal for bass since it has a low-cut option.
I have it for bass... amazing..
Great job Ryan! Josh Scott never used the high gain( or even mentioned it) for the preamp pedal when he did these.
You should definetely try some more flamma pedals, they have a lot of interesting ones.
Ryan do a review on the affordable Demon TS-9 /TS-808 overdrive please.
I've had the fs06 for a while now! I find if you move all the knobs it changes the sound of each amp model! I mean like bass mid tre. And gain vol. Don't know why? You have to dial in the sound and save! Thanks!
I love to watch you trying heavy tones. It's entertaining. Than I start appreciate my own skills more.
Yoooo hooo hoo! I do! I use the low bit crusher all the time. Big difference being, I picked up one of these delays to use with entry level synthesizers. I have zero experience with guitars.
Im glad that you told us that you cant change the Preamps by USB. On Cab Sim, can you blend 2 IRs in 1 like the mooer cab x2?
I just got the mini Flama mod. It's pretty cool I think its worth it just for the tremolo and rotary
I have that pedal. The stutter is my favorite, which surprised me.
I've got the reverb and I love it. I've never seen pre-delay on a guitar pedal before. It's a misunderstood and underrated feature
There’s something I really like about that delay
I really like the preamp. Works great direct to PA and I really like the channel switching option of going from the clean to the overdrive setting of the amp simulations. Vox and Marshall are my favorite.
yes this is a very good option to go direct it sounds even better going into a PA
Are you running this into a board before the speakers?
How well does the preamp clean up with the guitar's volume knob?
Had this pedal. Two things killed it for me- the clipping on most of the clean channels, and not knowing the settings each time you changed presets (which isnt unique to this pedal).
That said, the drive sounds were great. I gigged a time or two with it. This pedal was what i tried going direct with to see how i liked it, and it worked great. I use a tonex now, and I built a sansamp gt2 clone from pedalPCB which I kinda like better 😂
You need to put down the input volume pot on you interface a little bit, I think that's where your "crispy" issue come from..
40:44 yeah I had that issue I suspected it was the 9v power that was the cause so I upped it to 12v from my pedal battery. Didn't have any issue from the pops.
I prefer the Mooer ones because you can easily switch presets with your foot, therefore you can use them in live situations. Unfortunately, Mooer do not have a multi-mod pedal like the FS05.
Would you recommend the use of an overdrive pedal for some settings?
Ryan is it best to have preamp in front or back of other pedals? Thanks!
I have an FS22 Ekoverb pedal. The FS02 Reverb and the FS03 Delay pedals are also attractive, but I don't want to spend for something redundant and collect unnecessary pedals. Do FS02 and/or FS03 add so much over the FS22 that worth buying? Which gives more plus over the Ekoverb? Both? Please help. Thank you.
I really like that Strat style silver sparkle guitar you were using. Could you please tell me the make/model? Thanks!
Hey man, it is a Harley Benton. Dont remember the model name. Go to thomann and search there. Cheers!
How long do these cheap pedals last? Specifically the iset pedals and caline?
Anyone knows if the voice pedals are good? I'm going on the red one, FV01, any advices?
The Delay seems similar to the Mooer D7 micro pedal... 6/7 modulated delay sounds (both including a rainbow effect and looper), one preset save for each effect and 2 effect tweak knobs.
The Flamma comes in slightly cheaper, and has bigger knobs... for those who, uh... like big knobs. I like the sounds from both.
They do seem to be the same. Stereo through with the flamas though.
👍. That sounds much better.
The LED on the switch is awesome
The reverb sounds cool
What make of amp is the black and white with the guitar on the mesh ?.
For the price these pedals are extremely good value, not least because there are a few unique sounds in there. But also because the overall sound quality is excellent, and the daly is somewhat lengthy. Sadly, not available in the UK yet.
Also save function is a deal maker for me
Doesn't Aliexpress cover UK? I live in Brazil and bought a couple flamma pedals as secondary rig
@@LuizSantos-nu3mb Yes, I recently bought a guitar switch tip from Ali express. To buy in the UK, including postage, £2.50. Total cost to come from China, including postage? £0.40.
How u can turn the led from Blue to Red ?
Nice job!
That clipping sounds just like when my GT6 is to loud on global output. It usually only hits on loudest low notes. Bass or tone adjustment or just plain output adjust will completely kill it.
I *love* the disclaimer. I've had enough of the "all guitar youtubers are crooks" BS. They seem to hve forgotten that everyone can "use their own eyes and ears" and remember that there's no such thing as an objective opinion. It's an oxymoron.
Just be upfront about it. Most ARE crooks and I ditched them long ago (not just in music) but the ones who tell you they paid for this themselves I treasure the most BECAUSE too many do NOT want to bite the hand that feeds them, or could feed them in the future. This guy got banned on a FB group for Harley Benton due to his opinion, and review, against the Firefly. Know what? With info like that I now swear off HB and trust this guy more.
@@generalawareness101 Eh. "Endorsement" doesn't = crook, even if they're not up front about it. i don't buy a Lincoln continental because Matt Mcwhatsisname says they're the best, so it doesn't matter to me that he gets paid to say it. Same with guitar or any product reviewers on youtube. Endorsements don't make them "crooks" any more than WIlford Brimley was a crook for telling me how great quaker oats are.
@@grayaj23 BS. I caught The 3D Printing Nerd in an outright lie to protect a product he was reviewing. I nailed that fucker up against a wall and he could not back out and I unsubbed him immediately. This was years ago but I never watch anything he is on. Same goes for every other fucker.
As a content creator you have an obligation to tell the truth about a product so you aren't just a corporate shill taking advantage of viewers who put trust in you. If you say anything against that then you are part of the crowd that the video is about and need to be released of air.
These amps simulations is better than Hotone Ampero?
I'm from Brazil.
I have the FS02 reverb pedal, I am happy with it in general as I just want a reverb pedal and you can save a preset for each type of verb which is enough for me, I can edit the pedal enough to suffice the type of reverb I need for the £50 I spent on it, I could get really hung up like some cos it doesn’t do what the higher end brand pedals do, but I wasn’t spending Strymon type money on it so I wasn’t expecting a totally top of the range reverb pedal, at the end of the day it adds a nice enough reverb to my overall tone so I’m happy with it, in not gonna sit there crying my ass off because it doesn’t spring or drip in the way some people want it to, at the end of the day with my other effects and guitar tone it adds a nice enough verb effect and to me it’s actually about the quality of the songs I write and perform and my overall tone and it gives a nice enough texture to my overall guitar tone and adds the life and brightness I need for an affordable price ,and makes the songs I write and perform with my band sound decent enough without crying cos it doesn’t sound as good as a Strymon or cos I don’t sound exactly like my favourite guitarists. I can design my own individual guitar tone & timbre and am creative enough to be individual enough to have my own sound and not want to exactly copy someone else’s tone which is just fucking boring.
Hello, the preset of one mode keeps saved even if you move to other mode and move the knobs to set that new mode preset? Thanks
You should try running this into the two notes cab m
I have this pedal too. The problem with this pedal is the digital clipping, especially on the clean channels. You have to turn the Gain almost to zero to lose the clipping. I can hear it on your recordings too. Really a pitty with this pedal. Also the Hi-gain channels have a strange digital clipping when you let the tone fade out. The Flamma designers of this pedal should have noticed this clipping problem and solved it. But maybe it is yust my pedal ?? I use now a tubescreamer in front of the clean channel to give it some dirt.
what if I wanted to switch from mod 6 to 5, do I have to keep pressing it till I reach 5 again?
Yep
How hard is it to put manufacturers to some small test on the button saying "press/hold for alt". Agree default should be consume on, flashing light would become annoying real quick.
How good are your Headphones TAKING gain ?
Josh Scott gave these pedals a pretty good review.
Hey Ryan, have you ever barked up Reverend guitars tree? I think there's a few offerings right up your alley.
Yeah I’ve talked to them and filmed stuff at namm. They haven’t shown any interest in working with me so far.
comparing the Donner Island delay and this Flamma delay ... which do you prefer? cheers
Donner needs to be boycotted
@@gunkanjima3408 why?
does the preset for a specific mode remain saved even if i switch between the other reverb modes and set them?
Yes
I did like the reverb
I'm waiting for their Reverb and Modulation pedals to arrive. Hi-cut, low-cut, and stereo sold the reverb to me, and preset-saving, having good phaser/flanger along with ringmod (i do like to use it in ambient) and bitcruncher, along with having stereo, sold modulation to me.
What would make mod pedal perfect, is having tremolo as fast as trelicopter, and less digital chop when tweaking ringmod and bitcrunch.
Delay pedal honestly didn't spark that much interest aside from being high-fidelity. I'd rather prefer it not having rainbowy-shimmery stuff and be purely a multidelay - tape, analog, digital, some "pong" stereo variation, reverse delay, and using that 9-position screen for presets rather than for types. Just as in their mod pedal, that was perfect, even at the cost of one knob. And that digital chop is awfulllllllll, even if it was intentional. I'd rather have something smooth, Roland tape-thingy like, just as nux did it in their tape core. It is slower, yes, but it is more musically applicable in a live environment.
Have you an update on the Flammas you ordered?..I'm waiting for the reverb..if good IL get the modulation..
@@patrickr6505 Yes, i love that reverb!
Aspecially it's "cave" setting and the pedal being true stereo.
Modulation pedal is just as've imagined as well, i can live with some digital chop as long as quality of effects themselves is good, and it's goood.
I actually ordered it to replace nux phaser core and twinote bbd chorus (same as nux ch-3) and it does chorus and phaser just fine, as i like it. What i got sold on is stereo + bitcrunch + ringmod (i love using it even though it's one of the trickiest effects for a guitar. It makes a really good whammy-like octaver sound if used correctly, and i also used it as an instrument itself by changing the pitch on the drone note)
I can even livemod bitcrunch if i smoothen it with reverb, making intense soundscapes that resolve to a silence with long decay. It would certainly be better without the chop, but i can live with it.
Also i have underestimated how handy it is to save presets when you're having one or two favorite ones, now i really value that feature on pedals other than Zoom multieffects. Ah, if only EQ's had that :P
One of the Boss EQ's has it, but as far as i remember it's not just an EQ but some kind of powerhouse of a tone-shaping tool which i don't want to commit to financially.
@@boopyfox4402 That's cool..still haven't got my reverb, expecting it this week..Im using it for Bass btw 🤘
@@patrickr6505 Yes, Flamma reverb is really good for bass because it has low-cut. That's one of the reasons of why i got it.
@@boopyfox4402 Got the reverb.. Awesome.. 🤘
I’d use this reverb for surf.
39:20 Ryan goes full Black Flag
Wait... What interface are you using? It has SO little headroom.
Again, great review + very enjoyable! Thanks Ryan! Did you notice (or even mention already) the striking feature similarity between Flamma FS03 and the Mooer D7 you reviewed? Are they the same circuit in the end? I wonder how they both compare in terms of sound quality (in mono). Please, which one would you prefer/recommend (mono)sound-wise? Thank you so much and keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany [liked & subscribed✔️]
they are the same, except these have stereo, and they are cheaper.
@@60CycleHumcast Thank you Ryan. You're the best!
How did you record the preamp?
Does the the flamma delay have delay trails after you turn off the pedal or does the delay stop when you turn off the pedal
Has both options
I got the Mod pedal for an effects send for one of my weirdo EHX pedals but first put it on my set up to demo it and had alot of fun with it. Good features, pretty decent stereo spread, great sampler of quality, basic effects. I might actually leave it on as a late chain mod pedal (I prefer my phaser and chorus in front of my dirt, except for fuzz) and the stereo does nice things to my analog delay. Some clean, flexible effects, nicely built and designed. Only issue is that when you turn it off and back on it starts on whatever preset you had on last-- and not the dial selection you had last. Maybe there's a way around that (other than working out and saving all of your sounds ahead of time.) Anyway, a very nice surprise-- only wish their delay had a better stereo spread or a good pong option. Some of the verbs sounded good, the amps okay. Some very interesting offerings, a bit unique in the world of starter/economy pedals.
“Effects send for one of my weirdo EHX pedals”
Attack Decay? Lol! I bought the same little multimod to use with mine!
Ha! I'll blame @intheblues for the disclaimer.
haha. Ryan was already disclaiming to his audience! 🤣
@@intheblues 😂
Yeah after taking part in that video I realized I needed to check the box on any video with provided product too, but I hate that the box make it sound like the video is paid when it isn’t. So I thought a catch all disclaimer would be the smartest way to go. It also puts the ball in the viewers court by telling them to figure things out for themselves lol.
@@60CycleHumcast FWIW I feel you could just leave the picture up for maybe 5 seconds at the start without the voiceover, and that would be a good balance.
are you direct into interface with the preamp or running into an amp?
direct in.
I don't know, it might be my OCD kicking in, but it really bugs me when you get the pedal order wrong 😂. I know it's a taste and preference thing...but...preamp, delay, reverb.
Amp sims go at the end not first usually
@@lucascottle2345 pls. don't get me wrong but the order that you mentioned is correct. Preamp to cab sim..my question is how you do that with this preamp pedal where it has a built in cab sim? Where do we place delay & reverb?
As far as I know, normally it'll be preamp + delay + reverb + cab sim..( from right to left order)
I've been looking for an answer to this. Thanks 😊
@@manhongtv81 I personally would run that at the end of the chain after delay and reverb if it has a lot of clean headroom. If you're running distorted sounds then before reverb and delay to keep them clean.
There's not set rules and remember if it sounds good to you then it is good!
Please, what is the best battery operated reverb?
Battery operated? Uhhhh no idea. I think all the boss pedals still take batteries.
Ryan laughs like a school boy when he makes a delay noise. He is now content.
The Flamma Preamp is great for the price.
Curious why you didn't run the preamp first and then stereo outs of the other two to the FX returns on 2 different amps.
Can you try out Joyo pre amp house
Damn now i want this delay pedal, lol
Hello. Cool video, thanks for sharing. Is the pedal box metalic or Plastic?
Metal
He’s a bad Flamma Jamma.
Sorry, I’ll let myself out.
Sterling work sir.
Did you try the preamp with a drive in front of it? I got one of these a couple weeks ago tried it with the cab sim on, tried it off with a mooer radar at the end of the chain, tried it into an fx return, sounded great, but if I maxed out the volume on the guitar or turned on a drive pedal in front of it, there was this very digital fizziness. As a preamp I would expect this to be a non issue, I returned it as I couldn’t get this to stop and the joyo clean glass and American don’t have this problem.
Hey Ryan, did the pedals came with a manual?
The printed manual is very minimal. I had to find the pdf manual on their site to get any real info.
@@60CycleHumcast Alright then, yeah I saw you busy with some paper with the speed of some kung fu master so I was wondering.
@ $68.00 USD ...the difference in quality to price I can not see how the Donner can stay on the afford aboard. The chips in the Flamma are better than what's in a Strymon. I am not saying the programs are but the chips are. Ok you don't like the Spring but for guys like me I would not go near a Spring if I had a decent plate to use. I agree the Spring should have been scrubbed.
Are these Revv knockoff pedals? The housing looks very similar.
no not at all, totally different concepts, but the look is similar isn't it?
Hmm i use some degree of breakup all the time so for that i must say room and plate
Reverb qual diferença das cores do fotsuit
I keep trying to find a cow bell pedel.
Sounds good to Me..!
How can you do a review if you cant hear the difference between the reverbs?
