One of the best "budget" delay pedals I've come across
A few disclosures:1. Amazon is currently lumping many of the Flamma brand pedals into one spot for reviews. I'm reviewing the FS03 Delay pedal.2. I'm using this pedal on synths, samplers and drum machines.3. I'm not using the looper bonus feature on this pedal (it's very bare bones).Right now, we are spoiled for choice with all the budget priced effects pedals out there. With the current holiday discounts and promotions, I've picked up a few pedals from different manufacturers featuring one of my all time favorite effects - delay!The Flamma FS03 delay pedal is a standout.Construction-wise, it's very nicely made. The housing, buttons and knobs all feel sturdy. The layout is intuitive. Stereo in and outs. Well implemented tap tempo option. Like a lot of other people have said, the lights on the foot switch are just too cool! As per usual, you need to supply your own power adapter (there's no battery option, if that's important to you).For choice, there's six different delay algorithms to work with. You can get 'bread and butter' delays out of it that sound very musical, and can be quickly 'dialed in' with the top three knobs. If you like to experiment, the "Tweak1" and "Tweak2" knobs can put you into some pretty weird territory. Again the knob layout is very helpful here, and if you check YouTube, there's some good demo/tutorials on what this pedal is capable of.Most delay effects I get are keepers as every manufacturer tosses in a unique feature or two, but the FS03 from Flamma is one of the best "budget" delay pedals I've come across. :)

Punches Well Above Its Weight
This is an amazing reverb pedal. If you told me this pedal costs twice what it actually costs, I would believe it. I own a Boss RV-6 and a Chase Bliss Mood, and this pedal holds its own against them. I plugged it in this morning and had originally thought I would spend an hour or two getting to know it and play around with it, but it's already been four hours and I'm still having fun tweaking knobs and being immersed in the sounds coming out of this thing. To make this review short, I've decided to list the things I like the most:1. THE AESTHETICS: I'm really into how this pedal looks. From the flux capacitor-like foot switch to the color to the preset bar, It's sleek and futuristic.2. THE PRESETS: I love that the 7 presets double as savable presets. With my Boss RV-6, if I find a setting I like, I have to snap a picture before I can change anything, and now I just have dozens of photos in my phone that I have to scroll through to find the right one. It's so useful and easy to just save the setting I Like and never have to worry about losing it or messing around with knobs between songs.3. HIGH/LOW CUT FILTER: The high/low cuts are very easy to dial in so that it sounds great with any guitar or pickup configuration. I'm getting into vinyl-sounding lofi neo soul kind of stuff, so it's nice to be able to have the reverb reflect the overall eq of my setup.4. PRESET 7: Preset 7 is really where this pedal shines (or shimmers - see what i did there?). In fact, it could be the whole pedal and I'd still buy it just for that. It's a unique combo of mod/delay/verb that doesn't sound like anything else I have. I also really like the cave setting for slow, expanded ambient drones.5. VERSATILITY: Like most musicians, I play diverse genres, including jazz, blues, ambient, post-rock, and pop. This pedal handles them all super well. I can get a nice slapback for blues, subtle room reverb for jazz, and long, cascading shimmer for ambient.6. STEREO: I play only through an amp sim into my interface, so stereo is a must for my setup. To get such an exceptional use of stereo out of a pedal at this price-point amazes me. My RV-6 ostensibly has stereo, but I've never really noticed it taking advantage of it. This, however, feels like a true stereo pedal.I'm definitely going to add it to my board along with the RV-6 and Mood, as it provides some great features and functionality and really complements them. If you're looking for a reverb pedal that's simple to use but offers a ton of features and creative ways to make your own sound, I highly suggest the Flamma Reverb pedal!

Bang for the buck, but....
I finally broke down and joined the Looper fan club, and I wish I had done it sooner. It really makes a great "sketch pad" to try new ideas, and it's a great learning tool.The cons- the instructions that came with it were a little vague, and I'm a looper newbie, so it took a little getting used to. A trip to YouTube and a little experimenting got me going pretty quickly.I still can't find the accessory footswitch control, which would be nice to have.Some of the drum patterns are, well, horrible. It would be nice to have a "fill" feature, and some editing control over the drums as well.It also might just be me, but the tap tempo is hard to use.The pros-It works, it sounds good, and with 90 drum loops and 10 metronome settings, you might not find THE perfect drum beat, but there's something in there that's pretty close.It's easy to use, and putting overdubs down is a painless affair.Being able to sync the looper and drums is definitely a nice touch.The sound quality is excellent, too.Overall, I'm happy. For the money, it has some nice features, and most importantly, it works as it should. I've had no issues in about 6 months.I would recommend this to anyone who wants a nice looper for a good price. It's a lot of looper for the price.
