hi Leo, very happy to see the review, I'd like to share you some information as a Chinese player . flamma fx200, the lowest price in China is 2000rmb, at least I can find. 1dollor is equal to 7rmb, considering the newest exchange rite parities. And nux30, at first its price is 1999rmb, now is about 1450rmb, very reasonable, but have some hardware problems .ampero stomp, earlier this year, above 3000rmb, some online shop even sold 3450rmb ,but after boss gx100(3650～4000rmb) had published, its price has dropped to 2500rmb now,or even lower. another thing to mention is that flamma is belong to mooer, who is rival to hotone, and flamma has a high argument in China because hotone and some guitar players accused that flamma fx200 plagiarized their product's features, and hotone even published an article to alarm flamma and its company. I don't stand both side, actually what I really care is the better products and the lower price

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing...very interesting info... I didn't know that Flamma was owned by Mooer, even if it was to be guessed, as the FX 100 = Harley Benton DNA = Mooer GE 150.. Thank you!

[@mCKENIC]

Very nice demo Leo, Thank You. Interesting unit - these boards are getting better and better!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much! I do agree...we have a lot of offer...a lot of good product to choose...and that's good for us guitarists in my opinion! Thank you!

[@HallO-OOoo]

Hallo und vielen Dank für die ausführlichen Tests. Ich habe sicherlich mehrere Stunden beim zusehen verbracht und mich für das NUX MG-30 entschieden. Es ist für mich der beste Kompromiss und hat außerdem ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Danke Du hast mir sehr geholfen, die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen! 🙂

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome and I'm happy to have been of some help!!!

[@sharadwatmajumdar4420]

how does it compare to the mg 30 tonally to your ears? maybe a comparison video of mg30 and fx200?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for your suggestion, I will think about it!

[@martinopinto6323]

That one is very difficult to beat. This Flamma sounds good but it seems another Mooer (even though it seems to sound better), with the typical problems of the Mooer, like the digital noise that you can hear at 6:55 when Leo decreases the guitar volume. The MG30 is a linear modeler, like Fractal, which doesn't have this problem, plus is more touch sensitive. Moreover, the amp sims here have all the same controls, like on the Mooer; this seems like all the amps are a lot of non linear kemper profiles and you change the parameters like you would do in post processing. On the other hand, for instance if you increase the master on the Nux, the gain would increase like in a real amp. I think those could be good points to take into account

[@picksalot1]

The sounds were quite good. Many of the shortcomings in fearures can be fixed with Firmware Updates. But, as you mentioned, it is a crowded price point in the Modeler Market. It is hard to distinguish one Modeler from the next without having stellar features or doing something important that the others can't do. I don't know if that's possible in this price range, as it would probably require a new and innovative redesign of the Modeler User Interface.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Interesting points...yes, the market is becoming crowded and crowded...Maybe in this price range there is noting with a stereo loop...if I remember it well...nevertheless you are right in my opinion!

[@jcoulter43]

Great demo song and fantastic review as usual Leo. My main concern is buying a "off-brand" processor and firmware support. But, if they price it right and it sounds good, maybe not a bad trade-off. I'm guessing you'll continue to do shootouts in the future of this against the usual competitors. NU-X is really crushing it right now and Flamma is not far behind. God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much, I'm happy that you like the song! Yes, we don't know for how long these units are gonna be supported, for sure the price is pretty good and can overcome some uncertainties. Yes, I will do more videos in the future...I'm trying to find what comparison I can do...I'm a but uncertain still...😀 Thank you!

Hi there, this is again a nice review, although I missed a more thorough presentation of other fx like chorus/reverb/delay. We definitely should know how it sounds. And, with all due respect, man, you have a hard accent which is sometimes really hard to understand!! I recommend subtitles, especially welcome for your technical remarks.😊

Hi, thank you for your suggestions...I know...for someone the accent is hard (others like it)...the problem is that so far I have not time to improve it...I invest all the time in music and videos...

Thank you, I'm really happy that you like the video! Thank you also for your suggestion...I will think about it...The MG 400 is 219 where the Flame and the Valeton are 350, therefore I don't know if it is a fair comparison...thank you!

I suoni sono molto convincenti! Pero quel delay della DAW che hai usato è meraviglioso

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Grazie Martino, il delay è il Waves H-Delay usato nella modalità Ping Pong. Thank you!

[@lasu7712]

Hello Leo, when you say its latency is 4.9ms, would it be a problem to record/play with Windows DAW using its audio interface then? I saw a clip testing Valeton GP-200 having a presumed latency of 3.3ms, but then the real test shows very big latency that makes me skipping GP-200 !? Thanks!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I would say that it depends from two factors: 1) how much sensitive you are to latency (some of us are fine with 10ms of latency and some cannot play with 5ms) 2) how much latency introduce your audio interface, that also depends on how powerful is your computer and how much you can keep the buffer small Of course the latency of the pedalboard is gonna sum up to the latency of your computer + audio interface...therefore you have to take into consideration both of them Thanks

[@lasu7712]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Many thanks for your explanation! I see. I was thinking to get such modeler but unsure about its ability to work with DAW. I saw from your other video about latency test which rates MG-30 and GX-100 better latency but it seems that the sounds of FX200 are good for me. Thanks Leo, your channel is great and you are really helpful! :)

[@vilorenz]

Ciao Leo. Prodotto che non capisco, non aggiunge nulla di particolare ad altre cose di quella gamma, tipo Mooer 250, che avevo preso e venduto sostanzialmente in tempo reale..... Da quello che ho visto sul sito di Flamma questa dovrebbe uscire intorno ai 350, con poco più di 100 euro magari andrei sul Podgo che mi sembra meglio, anche se mi sembra di avere letto da qualche parte che non verrà più aggiornato. Poi, capiamoci, sono macchine mediamente ben suonanti, spendendoci un po' di tempo a trovarsi fuori i suoni si possono creare presets ampiamente soddisfacenti per il chitarrista medio con tutte. Ma alla fine suoni convincenti si tiravano fuori anche anni fa dai vari Pod Hd, Digitech rp1000 o Boss gt100, anche senza tante ir e quant'altro. I primi demo li facevo con uno Yamaha Magic Stomp e suonavano discretamente anche a riascoltarli adesso. Strumenti a prezzo competitivo ce ne sono ormai in abbondanza. Quello che manca, nel chitarrista medio (e mi metto in testa in questo) è la capacità di sfruttarli e di creare buona musica originale.... Beh, mi consolo ascoltando te e la tua musica. Spero sempre in un tuo album.....! Un caro saluto!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ciao Lorenzo, grazie mille, sono molto contento che ascolti la mia musica con piacere...si, vorrei fare anche io un album...il materiale non manca...ma il tempo per produrlo come si deve è il problema...ma magari in futuro mi ci dedico... Capisco quanto dici, sicuramente il mercato si sta facendo veramente affollato ed è sempre più difficile distinguere le varie pedalboard. Comunque direi che quanto meno, tale abbondanza è un bene per noi, così possiamo scegliere e cercare la migliore opportunità. Grazie ancora!!!

[@slobodanarodu2005]

Thanks for your amazing videos Leo! I'm looking to get a unit that emulates amplifiers as accurate as possible. I don't care much about inbuilt fx since I got many pedals (I guess, for the same reason, lag wouldn't be so important under this logic). In a low/medium price range, what do you think would be my best option? I've been considering getting the Ampero Hotone 2, but is hard to make up my mind since I've seen lots of positive but also negative reviews about that device. Thanks for your videos and your help. Regards

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, it's really hard to suggest a specific unit without talking with you "extensively"... I mean, understanding all your need (for instance, how many foot switches do you need? how do you record?, etc.). Therefore I'm typically reluctant to suggest a specific unit. I would suggest you to define: what are the amps that you want to have (so that you can check out what modeller offers those amps), what connections do you need (for instance, do you need stere fx loop), how many footswitches? etc. In my opinion this process should allow you to select 2 or 3 devices. Then, you can start to check out second hand occasions, prices, availability, etc. Thank you, and sorry if I'm not so directive.
