FC01

This pedal has very good modulation effects. I believe that the Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser, Vibrato and Rotary are the most pronounced effects. The Autowah is OK. The Liquid, Stutter, Ring and LowBit are fun to play around with and interesting. I will often use a chorus effect in a song while playing guitar and will occasionally need a Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser or Vibrato also, but not all of them in a song. So with this pedal, I can us my chorus pedal and use the Flanger, Tremolo, Phaser or Vibrato also. Then I can change the pedal to another setting for a different song. It saves me at least three spaces on my pedal board. I would recommend this product and would purchase it again. (I currently own two of them.) Note - I was not compensated in any manner for this review.

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 wasn't sure if I needed a boost pedal because I have active pickups; given that there is more clarity in separation in the booster, I'd say it compliments the active pickups well.To give buyers an idea of how it functions, it has the treble,bass, and volume which are good for getting more tonal control from the guitar. The booster knob itself brings about a breakup type of sound to a clean tone; kind of like pushing a clean amp. Behind distortion pedals this would give it a fatter tone.After reading into this some, turning the bass down and balancing the volume with some crunch down the chain gives it an ideal lead tone.I then have an EQ pedal to bring the bass back up out of the tone, so the distortion is full but not muddied by the bass going into it.The active pickups only add too much brightness when the chain is off, and only the booster in.I had an extra compressor pedal and then mellowed the brightness.So overall, it seems that adding a booster pedal to the active chain is a way of getting more clarity out of the gain that the active pickups produce.
