Tons of Sound in a Tiny Package
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.

updated review!!!
*updated review!! Flamma reached out to me after seeing my initial review. They immediately addressed my concerns and shipped out a new pedal for me. The pedal works great and as I’ve already said, it sounds amazing and is super versatile. Great bang for the buck. So five stars for the pedal and five stars for Flamma customer service!!!! There aren’t a lot of companies out there that take that kind of initiative to make sure that their customer is happy! Based on the quality of the replacement and the customer service, I will definitely be buying more from this company!Original review:First the positive. The sounds this pedal makes for the price are great. There is a lot you can get out of this little box. Its compact and easily fits in your pedal board. The negatives. You cant leave it plugged in on the pedal board for some reason. You have to unplug it, and then replug it in order for it to power back on. There is also quite a bit of latency when you are switching between on and off for the effect. If these few minor problems could be fixed, this would be five stars. Because it really does have great sound options. I probably would have returned it, but I went a few days past the window.

It's a $35 modulation pedal that does all the things
Honestly, the FC05 is a wonderful value for all that it does. I would hope that if you're shopping for a cheap guitar pedal that does this many modulation effects, you aren't expecting an Eventide H90 out of it. It does several very usable things and a few very useless things. 7 o' clock to noon on the selection pot are all really solid. If you weren't sure if you wanted a Phase or a Flanger, this is a great pedal to figure that out on. I especially liked the Rotary effect. The switch is a simple tap, rather than something that needs to click to engage. The switch is taller than the small pots, so there's no risk of stepping on those when hitting it. I used a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus to power it, so I'm not sure how it behaves with an individual power supply. It's $35 (as of this writing), it's a superb value for what it does. If you want something fancy, buy something fancy.

Wow
This is the best sounding. I have a Boss pedal that costs 159$ . This thing blows it out the water . highly recommend for beginners or pros .

Does a LOT in a compact package, and for the price it's good enough.
Many useful sounds in this little thing (FC-05 modulation pedal), and its small footprint is a plus.Importantly, it doesn't mess with your guitar tone when bypassed like some of the really cheap pedals.Most of the effects are decent. Use mine mostly for ring mod, occasionally for stutter or tremolo.Auto wah and flanger are pretty good but the vibe and 'liquid' (sample & hold filter) algorithms don't do those effects as well as a real pedal. Still, at this price it's good to have even low quality versions included.The box does prefer isolated power; I gave it an individual outlet on my Power2plus and that works fine.There's a bit of hiss even when it's bypassed; noticeable with an amp turned up to band volume.As long as there's a noisegate somewhere downstream, IMO it's good enough for live use.The casing is solid but I suspect the components inside are not so robust.Mine worked fine for eight months and then just died.Don't know for sure if it was defective or simply fragile.But at this price I just ordered another of the same pedal.

Impressed
Flamma FC21 is a great compressor for a paltry sum. Yes it's missing some controls that higher cost compressor pedals have like blend etc, but it still does a great job. I actually use it as a 'smooth boost' it smooths out my tone and pushes my amp a little harder. Pairs great behind an od pedal etc. The only downside is personal, and that is I don't like mini pedals. I bought this last year as a quick fix thinking I'd return it but I keep putting it back on my board. Definitely worth taking a look at.

Cool Delay, Excelente Chorus, excelente flanger, súper tremolo, genial booster
°°° analog chorusMuy buen efecto, bien construido, de buena calidad, por el precio es insuperable. Tonos cálidos de chorus, clásicos de los 80s, tal vez algo nirvanesco tambien. Un plus que tenga control de volumen para agregar modulación o hacerla más sutil. Tal vez solo agregaría la opción de quitar la señal limpia para que sea vibrato. Pero de ahí en más excelente pedal. Recomendado!°°°ahora compré el flangerMe gustó mucho el chorus y decidí conseguir el flanger ahora. Al igual que el chorus tiene muy buenos tonos , es mi primer flanger y la verdad me gustó mucho, con distorsión suena excelente. Por el precio es excelente, súper recomendado!°°° tenía que probar el tremoloAcabo de probar este el FC16 y al igual que los anteriores me sorprendió la calidad por el precio. El control de bias está interesante. También recomiendo mucho este pedal si solo requieres un tremolo sencillo sin tantas complicaciones, muy bonitos tonos°°° Este booster cumple muy bien levanta muy bien la señal, funciona muy bien al inicio de la cadena y al final para subir el volumen de toda la cadena de fectos que tengas. Súper recomendado por el precio°°° El Black Dist es sin duda una de las mejores distorsiones que he escuchado. Es todo el tono clásico que tiene el proco-rat2 pero además con el modo turbo, excelentes prestaciones, tamaño amigable, bien construido, sin ruidos, una maravilla, un super rat con dos modos. Altamente recomendado°°° El Brit Dist es una excelente distorsión, emula el sonido Marshall, se combina muy bien con otros distor como el Black Dist o el booster. Es una excelente opción si buscas este tipo de tono. Recomendado°°° El Analog Delay suena increíble, es un pedal muy sencillo pero con un tono muy agradable, no estoy seguro que sea verdaderamente a analógico pero definitivamente es un buen delay. Por el precio, su construcción y sonido está súper recomendado

Not quite gig-worthy, but super fun!
Tons of sounds, and a lot of them are pretty unique. Some of the controls are a bit confusing, but this pedal is so much fun! The sound isn't awesome, so I wouldn't use this on a gig or recording, but this is awesome for jamming and finding some crazy new sounds. I've probably gotten about 8 hours of fun out of this thing so far. It's also a great pedal if you just want to try out a bunch of modulation effects before you buy a more expensive mod pedal!

コスパ最高!
他のエフェクターと並列しても全然ショボくならないし趣味で使うには充分です。個人的にはトレモロとオートワウがとても良かったですね。満足です。

フェイズ90に近い?
ミニペダルでボードを組みたくフェイザーを探していたら大本命のMXR Phase95の1/4以下の値段だったので購入。デジタルのFLAMMA製品はちょっと微妙でしたがこれはそんなに悪くない感じでした。
