Flamma FS22 Delay & Reverb

This is the first reverb and/or delay pedal I've bought in a very long time, so I don't have much to compare it against. Keep that in mind. However, for me it works wonderfully.

Combining Reverb with Delay is a great idea. In my field - ambient guitar - it is very common to use these effects together. So to me it made sense to buy a pedal that combines them both.

You can achieve lots of different sound combinations with this pedal. It has all the knobs you expect from a complex pedal lke this: tone, time, tempo, level etc. There's lots for you to experiment with. To me the sound is great, there's no unwanted noise or hum.

It has stereo input and output, ... as well as mono of-course. It's a good pedal to use at the end of your pedalboard if you want to record in stereo.

The right footswitch is the on/off or bypass for the pedal, the left footswitch is for setting the tempo; the delay time of the delay effect.

The tap in the middle gives you three different delay+reverb combo effect types:
1 = reverse delay + slow attack reverb (good for swells)
2 = analog real echo + modulated reverb (i.e. the "normal" setting)
3 = analog delay + shimmer reverb (for some bling)

The main challenge with this pedal is learning how to use it. The manual only shows what the knobs are for. There's comparatively little coverage of this pedal on the web. It doesn't help that different manufacturers use different terms for things. I mainly used experimentation + youtube videos to learn how to use this pedal. You get the hang of it eventually.

In summary, to me it's a great pedal. I couldn't find anything wrong with it, things to complain about. As an ambient guitarist it gives me a tonne of settings to play around with. And the quality feels very solid. Plus it looks great.

Out of the box, the plug is 2-pin (add doesn't say). I have to buy the right one or stick a screwdriver into the socket every time.
Solid enough build, however, the electronics are far from special.

The tap feature is off as far as I can tell. Can't get it exactly where I need it.
The delay is grainy - sounds like the repeat notes have sand in them. Or for anyone who has used a gate, the dying notes as they go sound like a gate letting through the transients but catching the releases. It might be the power supply being suited to European sockets.
The reverb is very odd. It has pitch shift artefacts on my one. Doubles a hi octave, which is sort of pleasing but unexpected. You can roll some off with the tone knob and push the level, but you still get those shifting (kind of chorus) artefacts.
Mine might be faulty and it's the power supply. Will update.

I was looking for a 2 in 1 pedal for Reverb and Delay and this one didnt disappoint for the price. Its not as fancy as some of the premium pedals out there but you can get some nice sounds from it and the 3 different modes are cool and offer plenty to tweak and play with whether its reverse delays and ambient swells you can do it with this pedal. It has independent controls for both effects and each can be enabled or disabled but just turning the effect volume off which is nice.

Overall if you want 2 pedals in one for less than €100 this is a really good option in my opinion. The build quality is brilliant, steel enclosure is nice and sturdy and the knobs and switches feel really smooth and its feels like a product which will hold up really well. So I would definitely recommend it for the price and the features you get.

I saw a demo of this pedal on TikTok, not knowing how expensive this was. I went immediately to buy this and was very surprised to see the price. Technically this would be a budget pedal but there is nothing budget about this. The delay and the reverb algorithms are excellent as good as my H9, but you can blend them together for some really cool sounds Many demos on YouTube, I’ve showed how versatile this is although layering this on a synth line, makes it even better the reverse delay it’s better than my 80s Digitech reverse pedal so that has save space on the board and the re-verbs are as good as my boss space echo. I nearly as good as my much more expensive Neunaber reverb.
Can’t wait to play around with this s’more and add it into the daily gig rig.
Do not hesitate buy this pedal if you are at all interested in complex ambient sounds
I have also purchased the flamma mini mod pedal which is amazingly good value for money with some really good tones.

This Pedal has everything a guitarist wants, in terms of tone. It works perfectly with a 40 V fender mustang 2 amp, which is an amp, which usually tends to not take pedals that well. The usage of both the delay and reverb at once is a bonus, and playing around with the knobs, one can find multiple new sounds to experiment with. The Turning radius of the knobs is proportional with the sound, no extremities, however it is a very versatile piece of equipment, which can provide hours of experimentation, as well as better options for reverb and delay, than a lot of other pedals I own. Its' built is very solid, and it also comes, with its own adapter for electricity.

Very much loved it. Will definitely check out more Flamma Options in regards to Effects Pedals.
