FLAMMAFV01 Vocal Effects Processor Pitch Correction Voice Pedal Vocal Stompbox Microphone Amplifier for Singer Live Singing Streaming Recording with Delay Reverb Acoustic Guitar Playing

The Flamma FV02 Doubling and FV03 Character pedals are very useful pedals that can inspire creativity and fun! Each provides its own unique spin on vocal alteration. With the FV02 Doubling, you can double your voice or have an ensemble of you. Or, you can add a pitch shifted version of yourself, either as a baby voice or an octave down voice, or both! The FV02 gives a chorusing effect. With the FV03 Character, the first setting pitches your voice a tritone down, perfect for a horror vocal voiceover. Or, you can pitch your voice up an octave to female or baby timbres. Or, you can have a vocoded robot drone in three varieties and sing a melody over it. The Blend knob will allow you to blend your natural voice in as much as you like. Both pedals can add reverb to your vocals, available in three types, which all sound very nice. Both pedals have a nice option of disabling only the vocal mode effect (indicator around switch turns red) while keeping the reverb, or double click to turn both effects off (unlit). The guitar input is designed to give your guitar a little bit of reverb shimmer and works best with an acoustic-electric or clean electric sound, but you could certainly run your guitar into a distortion pedal then into the Doubling if you wanted some distortion. I wouldn’t distort your sound after the doubler because you’ll want to keep the reverb clean and crisp. One tip: Don’t let your input signal be too hot. I had the best results using an external mic preamp with output volume set fairly low. With this setup, you would switch the XLR input to line. The other useful option is just to plug your mic directly into the pedal. I used a good dynamic mic and set the gain about halfway on the Doubling and 2/3 on the Character. Use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the gain knob. Be careful not to set the input gain too high or you will get a very loud, nasty squeal back! The enclosures seem sturdy, and I love the vibrant colors! All in all, these are nice pedals that can add some creative effects once you learn how to use them.

I've tried loads of guitar pedals, from Amazon imports to boutique American brands, so when I saw the Flamma FV02 I wasn't sure what to think. Price-wise it sits sort of in between the two extremes, somewhere around 120$. I think you could be fooled by its appearance into categorizing it with the Ammoons, Gokkos, and Amazon Basics of the world, but this Flamma line incorporates a lot of features you would expect from higher end products.It sports a soft footswitch, both XLR and 1/4 ins and outs with options how to mix the signals, a ground lift switch, a subtle digital reverb and a number of voice doubling functions (I imagine this goes for the entire FV Line, just replace Doubling with Harmonizing or whatever). I also really like their proprietary LED placement and interface. It looks cool and offers some more switching options than your usual ON/OFF switch.Sound quality is pretty much in line with what you'd expect from a modern digital pedal. The effects themselves aren't radical, but they will definitely fatten up a voice and the minimal controls do let you shape the sound fairly effectively.The power draw is on the high end requiring a stated 500ma. I'm not sure if that's entirely necessary or just to have high headroom but if you're trying to power it from a daisy chain or other guitar pedal power supply just be sure you have an output that can support that. Fortunately Flamma provides a Wallwart power supply if you don't mind dedicating an outlet to this pedal.I think the only part that is kind of disappointing is the graphic design of the FV02. I realize this is subjective and has no impact what so ever on the functionality, but it kind of looks like it was assembled in clip art and as I mentioned earlier does a real disservice to a quality product by making it look a bit cheap. All that being said I think you would have a hard time finding a similar feature set anywhere else for under 200$.

The tracking of the input vocal is amazing. The ability to easily switch harmony option is easy/quick. The pedal fits easily on a mic stand.I cannot wait to take it out to a gig.I do see one issue...The pedal is supposed to support a pass-thru option (clean signal) for the mic via the foot switch. My pedal is not doing so. For live performance, will mean always having a dedicated mic (I'd kinda planned to anyway for backing myself up) and then one other for guest vocalists.I've not had luck with support (chat is below and will update if I get a response).~~Just purchased "FLAMMA FV04 Harmony Vocal Processor". It seems to be 'always on'. The main footswitch will change the 'Sharp' option, but there is no 'pass-thru' of the mic signal as the guide indicates.5:00 PMGuide says this: "When the FV04 is on, press the footswitch twice quickly to turn off both harmony and reverb effects, the footswitch LED will turn off."5:04 PMPressing twice does nothing. Press hold enables/disables sharp mode.There is no 'hidden' mode with 'yellow' led either...5:06 PM~~UPDATEDI found the pass-thru:With Red/Natural option selected (surprised this is not the default when the unit is powered up - 'Sharp/Blue' is default), a short pause and second click/press will enable the pass-thru.Posted a noted to the support site:For product improvement, I would have Natural (vs # / Sharp) be the default option.

I purchased one of these and it was defective. It would not shut off and change positions correctly so I sent it back for a replacement. The second one I received was worse than the first one. And I did not want to chance on trying a third time. But I'm stuck with a product that I am NOT happy with at all!It was nothing like the videos I watched.This Item was $130 when I purchased it. So I am basically left with a piece of junk and out $130 which is my biggest loss yet on Amazon.Don't get me wrong, I am happy with Amazon, just not Flamma!
