Flamma: EKOVERB Delay & Reverb. Chatty Demo

[@MarcCoteMusic]

I can scarcely believe it... This pedal sounds amazing... so it must be $300, right? Nope. $200? Nope. It's a hundred bucks. If this isn't the best deal on a pedal that sounds this good, I don't know what is. Thanks for the demo, Brett.

[@LeviBulger]

I bought one on Amazon day for 65 bucks. Now I know why it's cheap. It has a white noise hiss that is impossible to get rid of, for starters. And it absolutely cannot handle fuzz pedals into it. Even the Rat, which usually never has problems getting along with pedals overwhelmed it. Also, it really doesn't sound quite as good as my Boss RV-6.

[@PJmusica]

@@LeviBulger it's probably my favorite pedal on my board, especially for the money. I love my boss rv6 which is a better reverb unit but it's not a better reverb and delay unit in one. It's a little muddy when compared to a Straymon El Capistan but overall the ekoverb sounds pretty damn good 👍 I love the features on it, like it's tap tempo and freeze etc. nice addition to my arsenal for ambient and experimental music.

[@kelasbebas8742]

There're not so many pedals on my board (no mod type pedal, except envelope pedal). For reverb section, i use solely this pedal. Sounds good, looks good, delay+reverb in a box just made my board simpler. And as you said, it's just $ 100. PERFECT

It’s an amazing time to be a musician. I wish I had this kind of gear back in the mid 90’s 😊🎸

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing very true Paul. I was completely blissful in my ignorance in the 90’s with an Arion EQ, Danelectro echo and chorus and a solid state Marshall amp and Crate speaker cabinet. None of that mattered. I loved playing through that gear with the band I was in.

[@malimahwehdjmahweh9784]

Wish I had this kind of gear back in the mid 70's. Technology is what compels me to even pick up me Les Paul after decades. So much to learn, so much fun. In the spirit of exploration.

When I look for a good demo. I know that I can count on Brett.

[@glen7695]

This is the best demo of this pedal. Thanks Brett.

[@Synsizer]

This guy is simply one of the very best. Too many vids with ppl pulling a pedal out of the box with no clue how to use it and making the pedal really sound awful. This guy does His due diligence before hand and shows what the gear is capable of. Kudos dude!

[@xebio6]

Brett, you're up there with the best demoists. Great playing and you know how to showcase gear by playing what's appropriate. Congrats and thank you!

[@acidbran]

Just ordered. Nice playing !

I dig your demos always so entertaining and informative! Keep it up!!

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

This is the best demo of the FS22 I have heard. Wanting a dedicated rev/delay for my Behringer Poly D, and I think this is it. At this price, I can just leave it hooked up to the synth. Thanks, and best wishes for your continued success.

[@GioMilko]

Hey brother...I think the circuit of ekoverb is digital...how does a pedal like this handle the poly d?

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

@@GioMilko yes that is correct, it is definitely digital. I have had no problems using it on anything, including the PolyD. I think it’s a great value for two good effects in one box. Simple knob per function, and takes up less space, on a crowded desktop. One thing to keep in mind, is that the delay and reverb run in parallel with each other, not one into the other.

[@GioMilko]

@@TheScreamingFrog916 man I need to check more about it...I really appreciate your help 🙏🏻

[@J0taM]

pretty damn good demostration

[@springlane0137]

The best review ever on yt.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Extraordinary. This will replace my NUX Atlantic nicely. It may not have subdivisions but the NUX Duotime has me covered there. The Flamma algorithms just sound better, especially the Reverb and Analog Delay.

[@LeviBulger]

Did you ever replace it? How do you compare them? I actually hear the opposite more often, which is that the Atlantic has the better sounding algorithms. Which do you prefer?

[@earlbaker7099]

Excellent pedal very useful. I love mine!

[@xebio6]

No unwanted noise issues as reported by others? Thx in advance

[@Bret_Sanor]

I wish it had an algorithm called "normal" and it just did the regular reverb and digital delay. I don't use reverse or other gimmicky stuff but do not use straight reverb and delay a lot.

[@landogermaine4175]

Sounds great!!! Great demo...thx!!!

[@KTGHATS]

Good morning Brett,great job! 😊 Thx! just unboxed mine. Do u like mode 2 or 3 for a classical, always-on rock delay-verb ?

[@3dconceptsofutah757]

Great Demo! Thank you!

[@mykhedelic6471]

I'd of been onboard if they had a fourth option with a stereo delay and maybe that swell. Does sound very nice, though.

[@faisgaffeimbecile1939]

Bought one recently. It really does require a full 300mA @ 9Vdc or will refuse to ''boot-up'. As our Aussie friend says, I can only echo his conclusion that it is a very clever modern pedal. Seems to be a chinese company that is turning out a genuinely original product instead of boot-legging some poor teams' hard-won R&D. Which if true makes for a +/ve step forward. And for the moaning ninnies winging on about "no true-bypass". Well, it has a hard-relay inside. This we can hear switch-over at ON/OFF. It may well be a bypass relay (I'm not opening it up ); which would if wired thusly, facilitate hard-(or TRUE) bypass. It's a PCB-mounted relay. A very prudent design idea used in the best equipment, and always indicates to me, quality in design.

[@thestuffmikedoes2309]

This pedal introduces a TON of noise to my signal. By itself, and with other pedals, when it’s on or when it’s bypassed. It’s not 60 cycle hum, it’s like a TV white noise hiss. I was really looking forward to using it but it’s going back. Would have been a great value, otherwise

[@thestuffmikedoes2309]

@@Paul_Lenard_Ewing I do believe it was a bad unit; as an update, when I contacted Flamma to initiate a return, they asked me to 1) first try a different power supply and if it didn't help, 2) send a video. I did both, illustrating the problem I was having. I compared it to other pedals and pointed out the distinctly different noise it was producing, and they told me that they showed it to their engineers, and the engineers said it was fine. I didn't really believe that, I felt like they were just trying to prevent the return, and I insisted on returning it. Crickets. I had to email them three more times over the next 5 days to get an address to send the item back to. Pretty strange experience. Unfortunate, as I really wanted the pedal.

[@nicholashewett979]

@@thestuffmikedoes2309 I’ve read and experienced that these pedals work best (and almost solely) with its own individual power supply. Not a power block. Not even a power block with individual and separated powers. The power supply to the pedal has to be its own, dedicated power. If you look on Amazon, they now sell two different deals with this pedal. One is just the pedal and the other is the pedal with a power supply. They’re both the same price so get the one with the power supply and you should be ready to go.

[@shorerocks]

I bought the FS22 Ekoverb FLAMMA Delay / Reverb pedal. Mmh. For about 100 EUR I'd say it is good, in good built quality. What makes it very annoying to use is that when you power up your board you need to physically unplug, then re-plug the Flamma, or else it does not work. I contacted support, and got a quick answer saying this is the desired behavior. Seriously? You think I will kneel down every time when I power up my board and re-plug all Flamma pedals? Imagine all your pedals require this... (Spoiler: none does). At the moment it sits on a shelf.

Good morning Brett. Always good to spend a few minutes with you. If you would be so kind I need a recommendation for an attenuator for my PRS Sonzera 20. I want an fx loop as well. Thoughts?

[@BrettKingman]

Good morning, Toney. The only machine that fits your description that I've had any experience with is the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander. It's great but at the top of the heap where features and price are concerned. I believe the UA OX is great also but I've never tried it. Sorry I can't help more.

[@pedraportuguesavoltou3780]

Hi. This unit can be used in pedal board?? Thanks

[@Molluszk]

Seriously how can Flamma make such a big mistake by choosing those pairs? (rev and del) I mean there is no option to have a regular normal reverb (as the first one) with a regular and non modulated simple delay? 90% of guitarist use a regular delay and a nice simple reverb together. No reverse or added flavour or etc on non of them... I can not believe this. So annoying. No?

[@jacobandmore3915]

Is something wrong if the Tap/Hold part is causing beeping noises through my amplifier? If so, what should I do?

[@jacobandmore3915]

Also, I run it with an Overdrive and the overdrive just stops working and I get a scratchy sound.

[@davidlynch4338]

Great demo, but it lost me at "shimmer reverb". That was the sound of yesterday on the day it arrived. Super cheezy! The rest of the pedal looks great though. Is there any way to adjust the modulation depth/speed or mix/match the algorithms?
