Flamma FS02 Reverb All Modes Demo

[@IVARus]

Well, i've just ordered this one after watching your video, will try it with ukulele =)

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

That’s awesome, I hope you enjoy it!

[@XYBand]

Thought I was gonna hear some stairway on the 2nd setting lmao

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Haha no stairway, only hints of stairway 🤣

[@spidgeb3292]

I've watched tons of reviews and yours are my favorites: very straightforward. Thanks! Keep 'em coming.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Wow! Thanks so much!

[@AndyDion]

So many reverb options! Awesome pedal! Great short and simple enjoyable demo!

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Andy Dion thanks man, much appreciated

[@Stratisfied22]

This pedal kicks ass. I never have found the need for anything else this pedal covers it all for me.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

It is pretty amazing what they’ve managed to pack in it, especially considering the price

[@eezar21]

Cool run through - the reverbs sound really good, especially knowing the price!

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Andy Goode Guitar thanks man.... yeah I don’t think anyone is gonna get rid of their Empress or Strymon stuff, but if someone wants a solid reverb that can do a lot this might just be the ticket

[@nonimercer2287]

This pedal is really great and the Aesthetics is beautiful. I still prefer this over the Joyo Atmosphere.

[@flyboymcgee8059]

Fantastic value for the quality of sound

[@ambidex]

Sounds great, thanks. Just got offered one of these for $40 in great shape, but I shouldn't be spending money right now. So tempting....

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Yeah ya gotta know when to say no to new gear for sure, but well worth a purchase when you’re ready

[@ramingr]

Thanks for the nice video, man. I'm on a tight budget and I've noticed that finding an affordable and decent reverb pedal is pretty tough. This might be it for me, ordered :)

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I think this definitely ticks both boxes. I was pretty surprised with this one

[@StevieWyatt]

Love this pedal. Such good value. I switch mainly between 6 and 7. Love it

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

It definitely is a fantastic value. I was blown away at what it does for so little $

[@davidwoods358]

Cool and simple operating system, I really like having the 7 presets., nice design.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

David Woods yes very simple, yet quite powerful... they really did a great job with this pedal

[@Fraeg]

thanks for the video, this is exactly what I needed to see. The shimmer verb (which is what you dig as well) is what I was looking for at a budget price. I am not going to spend $300 on a reverb pedal anytime soon. $80 bucks for a solid pedal and a power supply is tough to beat.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Absolutely! While I do have the Source Audio Ventris as my main reverb, I know most folks don’t need all those features… no reason to break the bank just to have some reverb

[@rockonileva]

I am very happy with these tones. I'm on the hunt for a pedal to help me get some ambience. I was looking for the ekoverb... But I can buy the delay and the reverb pedals separately for a bit more... And have the presets. People recommend me the Atlantic a lot... But despite the sound quality being great, the pedal don't allow any tone control... And that shimmer is totally unusable, imo...

[@zeronoshoten4300]

Great playing! Not only subscribed but convinced I need to order one of these now.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it

[@jonatadeividsantos2776]

Ele esquenta?

[@CorbCorbin]

Short, Sweet and every verb heard, makes an excellent demo. Have you tried the Flamma Stereo Delay? Their EKOVERB is a killer pedal, especially for the price, but all of their digital delays and verbs are very good. Stereo ins and outs have become as much a selling point as tap tempo is for many players. Only reason I’d choose a TC Flashback or HoF, is the TonePrint feature, yet the presets aren’t better. Regardless, these Flamma pedals are such a killer deal for a quality effect that it’s not much risk to try them out.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I haven’t yet, but I need to grab one for sure... My main criticism would be the way to scroll through the presets... a 2nd footswitch for that purpose would be much more useable on the fly, & wouldn’t add too much to the cost. Other than that, it’s pretty amazing for the $

[@texanfournow]

Bought one of these recently. Very nice pedal for not very much money. I also picked up the Flamma FC-03 (mini delay pedal), very cool little pedal. I am hoping Flamma quality holds up over time; bought an Ammoon American Sound pedal that died after one year, so I am a little paranoid. For now, I am a Flamma fan.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Yep, they’re definitely impressive pedals for what you pay… I’ve had some bad experiences with Mooer & Joyo (& some really great experiences) so I know exactly what you mean, but Flamma seem to be doing it right so far

[@Alex-dd9xj]

Hello. What kind of mooer and joyo pedals have you used? Which sound did you dislike?

[@BarryGrueter]

Nice review thanks for sharing this 👍

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Thanks!

[@MarkElliott1996]

I bought this pedal. Your video convinced me there is a decent delay for under $100

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Are there better things ones? Of course, but for the $, it’s incredible

[@barrysebastian9584]

Nice demo👍. The Flamma line is very impressive - and cost effective. They say they are musicians/engineers making quality gear for musicians without boutique prices. $68 for this is value indeed. I have Strymon and Neunaber verbs and delays, and honestly, these little guys FS02, FS22, FS03... sound great in their own way. I just hope there isn’t a tone suck or something. I just ordered an EkoVerb. Stunnng sounds, and I may be able to replace two pedals with one on a board. For under $100.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I definitely want to get the Ekoverb next... I haven’t noticed any tone suck with this at all. I won’t be getting rid of my Ghost Ridge or Slö in favor of this, but it absolutely has its place

[@barrysebastian9584]

Barefoot Bearded Wizardry thx for the comment - looking forward to testing out the EkoVerb👍.

[@michaelb.42112]

We are in the golden age of pedals. SO many choices of affordable pedals. Amazon even has a $50 and less category. This one is only $69 !

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Haha never thought of it like that, but there’s definitely some similarities 😄 appreciate it

[@erifkind]

I love it with the high and low cut engaged all the way. It gives a very uncanny sound that has a lot of potential. This is a great value for the price.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

eddie rifkind I was very surprised at how much difference the cut knobs make. Working those & the pre delay can really open up some great sounds.

[@bp-0139]

Excellent demo

[@bouncehousing2774]

How do you set the trail on and off? Great demo!

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Press & hold footswitch, then power on the unit to turn on trails mode, repeat to turn off

[@allivegottado]

Great sounds for the money but the drip sound on the spring setting is goofy as all hell. Granted, I’m a spring reverb snob who uses a Surfy Bear unit. But I want a nice cheaper pedal to cover room and plate sounds. This seems like a pretty decent option.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

@@allivegottado yeah the spring is definitely over the top, but for the money to cover other types, it’s definitely worth a try. I use a SA Ventris for all my reverb, but I still think this is a great option on a budget or for a simpler board.

[@justinpalmer6098]

[@samueltavares3020]

Amazing review man. Congrats! What do you think, this one or Joyo Reverb Atmosphere? Which one has a better sound?

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Thanks! That’s a tough call… For one, Flamma are basically a repackage with tweaks of other Chinese pedals, so there’s a good chance the algos are essentially the same. BUT I’d choose Flamma because I want stereo, if you don’t need stereo, then the Joyo might be better for you since it also has the added delay feature. But, the Flamma also has “presets” so you can save the settings you prefer for each algo.

[@samueltavares3020]

@@barefootbeardedwizardry Got it. So the sound of the reverbs in both pedals are pratically the same? I think I'm gonna buy the Flamma because of the presets. This is really helpful on playing on the stage.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

@@samueltavares3020 totally agree, very helpful, & yeah I think there are differences, but they are very similar. They definitely seem to have the same base algos, but maybe with minor tweaks that would make them slightly different… to me, it’s essentially the same & comes down to the features that matter for what I do (like presets & stereo)

[@toddtripp6165]

great demo. I bought the pedal and my default color is red when its on?...are you able to access different effects with the "blue" mode?...thanks

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

No, blue mode is trails on.... red is trails off. To toggle, hold the footswitch while powering up.

[@toddtripp6165]

@@barefootbeardedwizardry got it! Thanks

[@dimebagtribute]

That's one of the best reverb I ever bought, but what's amazing here is the ratio price/quality of tone!! It's pretty awesome...

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

[@kennethborrett8074]

Great pedal lovely tone. I play loads of Shadows instrumentals can i use this model to get that Hank Marvon sound? Thankyou

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I think you definitely could... tends to be a lot of slap back delay in some of that stuff too though, you might look at their FS22 Ekoverb as you could then incorporate that slap back as well

[@donwalker7518]

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

No…

[@Xxmeca421xX]

This or the caline snake bite?

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I would say that depends on your needs. If you want one simple reverb & don’t care about stereo, then probably the Caline. If you want more options &/or the ability to save settings, then I’d go for the Flamma.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

@@barefootbeardedwizardry I bought this for $65 new on amazon before flamma sold out. It's a really nice pedal for the price and it's my first stereo pedal. I connected it to two amps with some delay and chorus with a strat.. awesome.

@@barefootbeardedwizardry Unfortunately. But the reverbs that are on there sound great. At that price point you barely get a single reverb pedal. I'm really thinking about getting one of those and stack it before or after my Oceans 11.

Ahhh yes, it can be very subtle if you want... the knob positions are meaningless as I’m just playing through each algorithm as it’s preset right out of the box. I have another video where I turn knobs on one algorithm

[@jamesnichols5998]

@@barefootbeardedwizardry I just don't get it. I've been looking for a relatively simple pedal like this (and delay), only a few presets, small format, etc. I thought this was it. I'd pay the extra $20-40 if it were MIDI. The only option I've found that does all this is the SA Ventris which is nearly $300. Ugh...

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

@@jamesnichols5998 I hear ya… the new NUX tape echo (large version NDD-7) is stereo & has midi… I’m assuming they’ll be releasing a similar reverb in the not too distant future. Full transparency though, I have the Ventris on my board & it was so good I bought the Nemesis as well.

[@Eckerick]

Nobody really uses pedal controls this way... I like the playing for demoing reverb but I don't feel it gives a good taste of what actual sounds you can dial into the pedal... Very odd to just leave everything at 1 or max out each knob.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

These are the out of the box presets, which is why it says the knob position is irrelevant. If I turned knobs on every preset it would be a 2 hour demo.

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

Also, once I turn knobs, I’m just trying to show the range of each control, because, again, no one wants to see knobs turning for 2 hours

[@Charlie_Chicago]

Also: $75 and it doesn't come with a power. So the $75 pedal goes back. Im an X'er, I grew up when companies had accountability and sent you a pedal that worked out of the box. This useless brick went right the fuck back to China. If you have self respect and work hard for your money don't buy pedals that charge you out the ass and could give 2 shits if you can use it once you get it or not. Never again.

[@lawrencegenereux8567]
