Flamma FV01 Vocal Pitch Corrector Review & Demo

Flamma FV01 Vocal Pitch Corrector Review & Demo #flamma #vocal #autotune
Whether you're an amateur or a professional singer, sometimes we all need a little pitch correction. The Flamma FV01 is a small pedal board friendly stompbox that can be used as a pitch corrector, a mic amplifier, or simply for the reverb and delay vocal effects. You can even plug your guitar into it and use it for reverb effects. You do have to dial it in to get that sweet spot where it doesn't overcorrect your pitch and you sound like one of those pop stars that actually NEEDS it.

Get the FV01 here: UPDATE* After attempting to use this pedal a little over a year later. I noticed the reverb is way too much an the 48v phantom power will power the mic, but I get no output signal. Therefore, I do not recommend this product.

**UPDATE** 6/26/24 After attempting to use this pedal a little over a year later. I noticed the reverb is way too much an the 48v phantom power will power the mic, but I get no output signal. Therefore, I cannot recommend this product.

[@lou-du-29]

Hi there, thanks for the update :) What do you mean by "no output signal" ? As in no sound is getting out of the pedal if you power a 48v mic ?

[@Guitarnivore]

@@lou-du-29 Yes. I tried two different mic that require phantom power. It'll power on the microphone, but I can't get any sound from it.

[@nickseeley]

Do you ever get a low level blipping sound that syncs with the lights? That's my issue. I just bought the pedal on 07/06/24 but I'm gonna be returning it cuz of that. It's a shame. The autotune was decent and I liked the dual mic and guitar input functionality.

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Great tuto and demo. Thanks.

[@Ceo-tz9ng]

This is so much better then the actual manual, which doesn’t hardly explain anything, and that’s after searching for it online (doesn’t come with manual in box) and even with your very thorough explanation I still don’t know what the two buttons on the back do, lift and line in…. Also no option to use correction on the guitar cable in and out… so if you don’t have xlr cables, you’ll need to buy those or converter/connection cables, in addition to guitar cables … wish there was more options and selections available for how you want sound input and output… I think I’d rather go with a boss harmonizer in the future….

[@6k4l91]

This is amazing.

[@Guitarnivore]

You may notice in the second, acapella demo, the more I turned it up, the more it was overcorrecting the pitch and sounding a bit crazy. I mean, I'm not a good singer, but this thing had me sounding like Daft Punk on crack singing "One More Time". 🤣If you use this pedal, find that sweet spot where it corrects your pitch, but doesn't overcorrect it. Enjoy.

[@SydneyDrums]

Best review I've seen. It's called the corrector and pitch correction is a massive feature of this pedal and you are the first person to show how to use it in varying degrees.. Not just doing the stupid hundred percent T-Pain. Cher auto tune voice

[@Guitarnivore]

Thank you and exactly. Just enough to fix pitch. I don't know why everyone wants to go full bore autotune.

[@deangullberry5148]

So it's basically a TC Helicon Mic Mechanic with guitar in/out....

[@Guitarnivore]

That's what I'm told. Never used the TC. A cool pedal, albeit a little overcomplicated without simple switches for the hidden features.

[@usuallyscott7907]

This can also add effects to the guitar, no? I think so… Can Mike mechanic do reverb and Delay? I’ll have to go check…

[@Andyant]

Awesome demo, great job with guitar and singing 🥳

[@Guitarnivore]

Thanks so much!

[@mudwiser1391]

Your explanation was very thorough. The little unit is inexpensive and seems to do a lot and appears to be built well. Based on your demo, I am going to order one, mainly for the reverb feature... well who am I kidding, I will also use some Correction. Great demo!

[@Guitarnivore]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.

[@albertotiscareno9962]

I have One and make a delay noise... Do you know what can be the reason? Thanks !

[@user-uo7lh7cf4q]

Yes there great delay and reverb as well and u can adjust the delay

[@nickseeley]

Anyone had any issues with the lights flashing actually transmitting sound? Kinda like a metronome you can't turn off? Unusable like this. It's a shame cuz the autotune is actually pretty good, tho chromatic (I like it turned up all the way to be more robotic). The other feature that is nice is that I can have a mic and guitar input and have it all go out the guitar output. This is great when I'm using my loop pedal and want interesting/futuristic textures. But the "blipping" sound that goes in sync with the lights makes this pedal utterly useless. Haven't seen anyone with that specific issue yet, but that's been mine.

[@Chase.Gedicks]

Can i use the with my existing 6 channel mixer together I like the reverb from my mixer but i would like slightly polished voclas yk

[@Guitarnivore]

Yes, you can use this with a mixer.

[@MrOldhoot]

Very good in depth review. Not so impressed with this gadget though. The way you have to double press, pull out plugs and press buttons makes it too complicated, especially if it won't get used very often as you'd forget how it works. They've crammed too much into one box. As for voice correction, I believe it will always take it to the nearest note, so if you're half way between E and F it could go either way, as you say, best not overdo that control or it sounds most odd. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@Guitarnivore]

Thank you. I agree. I wish there were more switches or even another footswitch instead of all that unplugging, long press, etc.

[@Haze763]

Who makes that white mini volume pedal? Thanks

[@Guitarnivore]

I made that one for when I had my Fender Hot Rod. It's just an A100k pot, a 6 pin DPDT Latching button and a couple regular jacks. Probably cost about $20 in parts. Sometimes I think it would have been easier buying one of the JS little black volume boxes.

[@boonfire3714]

Just got mine. Man, those 2 quick taps to turn it off is too fast! Who’s gonna be able to move their foot like that in the heat of battle? Our singer is going to struggle with this unit

[@boonfire3714]

Thanks for the explanation; very helpful! The search for the perfect vocal pedal continues though. The on/off double-tap is too lightning fast to be practical, and the fact that you can only start this pedal up in “all effects on” mode is limiting. I really wish it would turn on in whatever mode you turned it off in. I can see it working well for someone who’s just going to leave this on for an entire gig, but if you’re dancing around a stage trying to use this during specific song parts, I wouldn’t recommend it

[@Guitarnivore]

I wish it just had some switches instead of having to know secret codes to switch through modes. It would have been much more efficient.

[@boonfire3714]

@@Guitarnivoreagreed. Even just a separate on/off switch would be helpful. I honestly can’t get the timing of the double-tap down

[@billfinehout5686]

does it have a bypass so you can turn the pedal off, and on when you want by pressing the button?

[@Guitarnivore]

Double tap puts it in bypass mode as explained at about 2:25.

[@caleshtcincredibles]

Nice review how are you connecting this to your computer ?

[@Guitarnivore]

I ran it through my Presonus Audiobox USB interface.

[@kennethr.vanamerongen1386]

Hi sir , how much post processing do you have after the pedal ?

[@Guitarnivore]

I was recording into Presonus Studio One through a Presonus AudioBox USB 96. The only thing I had processing in Studio one after the pedal was a compression plug in to even out the vocal levels. Everything else (reverb/delay/correction) was from the pedal. The guitar went into the pedal with some reverb from that and out to a Berhinger DI box, then into the USB interface and the it had a bit of chorus in Studio One.

[@Luxarium]

Would you recommend this for autotune? Im looking to get an autotune pedal for live performance

[@Guitarnivore]

I would love to say yes, but I honestly don't know if it works well for an intentional autotuned sound.

[@AceBambam]

im just here for the vocal reverb and delay

[@JackinJam]

Grazie.

[@Guitarnivore]

Thank you so much!!

[@fingereze7202]

Does the pitch correction work on the 1/4" inputs?

[@Guitarnivore]

No, only through the XLR. The 1/4" is mainly for instruments.

[@JordiBusk]

I have a question, can it be used with batteries?

[@Guitarnivore]

No, but you can use one of those adapters that attaches to a 9v battery and plugs into the port, however; I'm not sure how long that would last during use.

[@bgcarneiro4397]

Tc helicon mechanic VS flamma corrector?!

[@Guitarnivore]

This and the Mechanic 2 appear to be very similar, with the exception of this one having guitar capabilities.

[@l.g.5899]

@@Guitarnivore and costs the half then che TC🤨

[@isospin8u]

U didn't max out the correction adjustment so I don't know the pedals full potential :(

[@Guitarnivore]

It's simply going to sound more robotic and awful and as you can see, it can't fix bad singing.

[@isospin8u]

🌹OK cool @@Guitarnivore

[@gaden0114]

Wondering why you don't demonstrate all three functions when you play and sing? It would have been extremely relevant to also demonstrate the pedal's possibilities with reverb and delay, as they are rather important functions for a singer. Fortunately, correction is uninteresting for most singers.

[@Guitarnivore]

I hear you. When I get some time, I'll try to make a follow up. I could care less about the vocal correction but Flamma wanted me to demonstrate it as a pitch corrector, so that's what I tried to do. I've used it for the reverb in recordings and it adds a nice touch.

[@usuallyscott7907]

As a blind guy, these color modes and menus drive, me wild… Can’t use them…

[@Guitarnivore]

Yeah, they could have made it simpler with a few more mini switches or something.

[@socialmediastlouis]

Mine Quit after 30 minutes.

[@grg537]

Very bad review. I could not hear any auto-correction or auto-tune effects in this video. Only the stupid reverb/delay was presented which nobody cares of since this pedal is an AUTO-TUNE pedal. Come on man!

[@Guitarnivore]

Pitch correction in the right setting is supposed to be subtle and not very noticeable. The pitch correction corrects to the nearest note, so if you aren't that far off, the listener may not even notice. This isn't made for auto-tune to use as a novelty effect. It's literally to CORRECT pitch, hence why it's called a...wait for it....pitch corrector and I demonstrated that. This isn't to make you sound like a some shitty AI robot.
