As someone who already owns this pedal, I love watching how others use it. This video, especially the use in ramping have me ready to dig it out of the drawer and do some ambient playing later!
Yes sir Alex, I also have this pedal, honestly I love the shimmer effect and can get lost in the journey. I've been extremely impressed with Flamma's product line of pedals and now currently own 6 of them, their circuitry and overall solidness definitely moves them to the forefront. I'm playing them through my Fender twin reverb on a Stratocaster and Telecaster And wonderfully satisfied with their tonal qualities. Last week I finally decided to put a pedal board together with a dedicated Power supply, I'm looking forward to seeing them happily living side-by-side instead of on the floor searching for a home 😎 , I truly enjoy their colors and their overall presentation of craftsmanship. But for all that said and done, Flamma is making a wonderful product line and for the price point I would definitely invest in them before that changes. Thank you for sharing this video and you're outstanding music abilities and professionalism, quite frankly, a breath of fresh air.
Another stellar video!! Well done, answered all the questions I was thinking. (maybe generation 2 of this pedal will have another toggle switch to mix-n-match algorithms)
Thoughts on this vs the straight reverb, I want to do more ambient and synth oriented applications but need something that can just cover reverb without getting too busy sometimes as well. This sounds amazing in your hands, thank you!
Hi there! I'm a bit of a Flamma junkie, their pric point and stereo options kept me coming back. The Ekoverb doesn't offer the ability to save presets, but their individual stereo delay and stereo reverb do! I haven't busted this pedal out in a minute but I think I will shortly!
Been eyeing this pedal and watching every video I find about it on youtube. Thank you for the in depth showcasing! A small question: @0:33 to your left in front of you, what is that small box with some purple on top with 4 patch cables coming out of the top? Is that a junction box or something else? Which brand/model, or is it custom made?
Have you checked out the Valhalla Supermassive reverb? It’s free - valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/ They also have one of their older delay plugins for free. The current one is great too and only $50.
Thank you man. I am on the edge on buying one. but for bass :D. But noob question, if you convert it from stereo to mono with a Y cable, will you lose the stereo effects? pls don't roast me in the comments hahahah
Hey Rodrick - so typically a TRS Y cable takes the left side and puts it on the tip of a TRS connecting, the right side goes on the ring, sleeve still to ground. Guitar pedals are typically only set up to accept a TS connection, so they'll just be ignoring the signal coming through on the sleeve. You'll end up just losing the right channel that way. I wouldn't suggest summing a stereo reverb down to mono anyway though, you'll end up with phase issues. It'll sound better to just run mono from the start.
Depends on what you’re using it for I suppose. With the Ekoverb by itself you won’t be able to isolate the delay or reverb without bending down to fiddle with the mix controls. If you’re going for more traditional sounds I’d get separate pedals.
You can set the on off switch (by holding it down) to do either. It lights blue for trails and red for no trails. The other switch will sustain while held down
Seriously how can Flamma make such a big mistake by choosing those pairs? (rev and del) I mean there is no option to have a regular normal reverb as the first one with a regular and non modulated delay? 90% of guitarist use a regular delay and a nice simple reverb together. No reverse or added flavour or etc on non of them... I can not believe this. So annoying. No?
The “holes” on either side of the pedal are just stereo in and out. 8:10 Seriously - I talk at the beginning of the video and people complain that I don’t get to the sound samples fast enough, then I try putting the sound clips first with text overlay and people complain since they don’t have the attention span to make it to the technical specifications portion. I can’t win 🙄

1:46 the smoke machine in the background was a nice touch
It was not the amplifier?
@@myguitarjoe If there's an amp that makes fog or smoke, I want one
Is that not just a dehumidifier?
Beautiful stuff! I was feeling some Lenny Breau vibes on the second setting. Very cool

Can you still use the freeze function even if the pedal is in bypass mode?
Can you also set the tap tempo even if the pedal is in bypass?
Great demo! Does the pedal remember settings (decay, levels, etc) when switching between the 1/2/3 combos?

Yeah, a junction box. Input, output, and an FX loop send & return. Made by Saturnworks.
@@AlexPriceMusician Thanks a lot for the info :)
I own this pedal. It’s not what I was hoping it would be. But it’s ok
Can you put it on a regular dc 9 volt pedal board (my boss board) or does it need its priority power supply? Nice review. Pedal sounds very good.
Yep! It just works on a standard 9v supply. It does take nearly 200ma current though, which is a bit high.
Alex.... great video. I wonder if there are any iOS plugins that mimic the flamma?

Lovely! Which shimmer do you use? 6:27

@@AlexPriceMusician Yeah, got ya!
The only thing missing for me is a dotted 8th delay option.
Im wondering if i should buy thier 2 pedals delay and reverb.. or just this ekoverb?
Depends on what you’re using it for I suppose. With the Ekoverb by itself you won’t be able to isolate the delay or reverb without bending down to fiddle with the mix controls. If you’re going for more traditional sounds I’d get separate pedals.
hi. may i know if this pedal has trails? like, if you turn off the pedal, does the last notes stays?
You can set the on off switch (by holding it down) to do either. It lights blue for trails and red for no trails.
The other switch will sustain while held down
Flamma FS02 reverb or FS22 ekoverb
Only thing this needs is an exp pedal slot/option
Can you get kind of normal reverb sounds out if it or is it really just more of an ambient music device?
If you dial the decay and mix back on the first algorithm (modulated), it can fill that role.
Is this usable on bass?
It definitely works and operates fine with whatever you put through it. I can't speak for how practical this type of effect would be on bass though.

No.
They have other options for that. Just look for those instead.
Sounds like what you want is the NUX Atlantic. It's also an delay/verb combo pedal in the same price bracket.
@molluszk maybe it's just not for you? I have it and it's great fun
You didnt tell us about the 2 holes on 1 side of it. Some demos have 2 cables connected, some only 1. I moved on early.
The “holes” on either side of the pedal are just stereo in and out. 8:10
