FLAMMA FS02 REVERB

| $70.00 USD |
Well newer at any rate, lol. they are owned by Mooer. Thety are giving us a product that one could argue is a take on the Neunaber Immerse. You get quantity algorithms and a pro build.
The layout is less confusing and the cosmetics are arguable even better. The sound is mildly different but still in the ball park.
CONCLUSION
Absolutely nothing dumbed down. The spec the build quality.
The game changer is the price.
You get a $230.00 USD pedal for $70.00 USD.
Totally KILLER product for a song.
Flamma do a delay for the same $70.00 USD price or you you can get a delay & reverb in pedal
in one box with alas less algorithms but for only $100.00 USD.
I can not see how that in a few years how most of the smaller players that focus on digital products will survive unless they make everything off shore.
XSONIC AIRSTEP
This product is the beginning of the end of most current types of digital hardware.
I am not going into any detail because to tell you everything this switcher can switch and even handshake between would take pages and pages and pages of typing!!!
They have a site that already has done that and there are a few videos etc.
My point is that at this very moment there is virtually nothing in digital processing of effects that can not be done ...or if indeed has been done via software.
If it is done and put in a companies proprietary hardware they have by very expensive metal switching boxes with the software in the box you are soon left with an outdated box because the
hardware is outdated. You buy the box for upwards to $2000.00 USD and 2 years later it worth virtual zip!
CUT TO THE CHASE
The point is we are only a couple of years away from using a smartphone and a box like this from
replacing everything that is not an analog pedal.

Paul another great review as always. I have one and it sounds great. One thing that Flamma missed the ball on was putting the reverb types on the pedal if we need to switch on the fly. Bring the manual or pray you have a great memory.
ReplyDelete+1. I ended up attaching a sticker with mode names to the pedal, over the “Reverb” caption
DeleteNext week I will do the matching delay. It can not fail as it is an Ekoverb with more Delay choices.
ReplyDeleteNo it won't fail. They sound great But these guys missed the boat. We have no idea what type of reverb each of the 7 modes are. All manufacturers have figured this out with listing the reverb type beside the selection. They use rotary dials but you get the idea. Without the manual the user has no idea what the reverb type is.
DeleteIt is inconvenient but it will not affect sales. First many buyers will not notice until they get one.After a few weeks the average guy will pick maybe 3 that do the job for his music and remember those 3 locations. Thousands of buyers do not speak English so they do not care that much. Most players either want what their idols use or what is prestigious and if those pedals have their inevitable drawbacks they will just suck it up. BUT ...the vast majority are all about price first.lol I find that when it comes to pedals that the only really important one where there is a far less compromise are dirt pedals. In fact a dirt pedal gets 10 hits for every one hit of any other pedal. Soooo...in short..if a reverb, delay or modulation pedal sounds good on settings that have been popular for decades most guys will be happy and start dreaming of a dirt pedal, guitar or amp for their next acquisition :-)
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCan you get the Hank Marvin Sound with the Flamma FS21 model?
Thankyou
