FLAMMAFC12 Drum Machine Guitar Pedal Drum Pedal with Real-Time FILL Function, Guitar Effect Pedal with 48 Drum Grooves 6 Music Styles & Tap Tempo EQ Presets, 44.1kHz/24Bit Mini Pedal

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 wanted to try auto wah / envelope filter on my basses for funk without spending much, so since I've enjoyed Flamma products in the past, I decided to give the FLAMMA FC11 Auto Wah Pedal a shot.First, be aware that it's tiny, and it requires a power supply. I had spots left on my power supply, so I was fine with that. It doesn't use a battery, so you will need a power supply.After trying it with a Jazz bass and a Bronco, here's what I found. This pedal offers somewhat subtle quack - it's there, and you can absolutely hear it. The odd thing is you can hear it more when playing with moderate attack - if you slap, the quack becomes inaudible. I'm guessing that if you use this pedal with a compressor, you'll be able to adjust things so you always get quack, but I don't use a compressor as I like to vary my dynamics, so when I slap or play hard would be when I want more quack, and this pedal doesn't do that.I think if you use a compressor ahead of this pedal on your signal chain or simply don't play very hard, you'll get enough quack to deliver some funk or other styles where you need auto wah. Not only does this pedal NOT suck the bass out of my tone (yay!), but And it is silent - no hiss, no hum, no snap, crackle or pop. And you can't beat the price plus if you have only a part of a space on your board, chances are this pedal will fit. Overall, a good pedal at an excellent price, if not quite what I had in mind.

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.

This fuzz pedal delivers gritty, vintage tone with just the right amount of bite. It’s responsive, easy to dial in, and sounds killer with single coils or humbuckers. A must-have for rock or blues players. Excellent build quality, too!

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.

Very nice pedal at an affordable price if you’re looking for something to add some reverb to you instrument.
