Flamma and Nux are killing the game right now!🤘🏾

I'm a big flamma fan, i already had 6 or more of their pedals. this video convinced me to look into the preamp/cabs as i hadn't given much thought to my clean tone. Gonna demo the cab sim later. This video was phenomenal! 🙏

I could watch you play for hours man. The intros are my favorite part.

Appreciate this one very much… not so much about how much they costs, its also the availability of those amazing niche pedals are limited in my area… and Flamma is somewhat available. Thx Mark.

It's funny, the emotions feel when you know you don't have to sell blood to get to a creative place with these pedals. Great review. Thank you.

So glad I found this video! I’ve been considering getting rid of my flamma delay but not now. So helpful - can’t wait to go dig further into it!

What a video! Such a great quality and tone.

How has this only got 4k views? People are missing out

Bought the preamp pedal about a month back. Have found some very useable, good tones. Appreciate that it was not $350-$400 very much.

Been waiting for this one, thanks!

Love this! I bought the modulation and the verb a while back for a small backup board and was pleasantly surprised. Nice work Flamma and great video Mark!

both are so deeply useful. Super high value pedals for sure.

Thank you for making this video !!! I just bought all those same Flammas to put together a ambient board in my home studio. You really gave me a great starting direction in where I want to go musically. I have been researching the Flamma Line for a couple weeks and decided these are perfect especially for my budget to get started. And I just subscribed too !!! This is gonna be a blast...Darryl.

I just got the modulation pedal. FS05. I was shocked at how well made it was. Uses all metal switch Jack's, pots felt nice and solid. Inside looks nice and neat.

This is what I am talking about. Definitely interested in the Ekoverb.

What a great idea for a video. I released an album this year using pedals that range from £40-£200 (available in all the usual places). It is possible. I think the challenges will come for me when I want to find some new sounds that often many folks get from the more expensive pedals. Will be a fun journey though. My next steps will be to head into the direct recording space (probably a Simplifier Deluxe) so that I can record silently in the house and deal with string noise.

So this goes directly into your DI and your DAW? Man, that sounds really good!

most excellent pedal board - a drawer and a couple of drilled 1x6's. Love it

@@markjohnstonofficial haha well I have a 5 year old daughter so I get woken up early. Am excited too see these videos am a worship leader and I love the hx stomp and other pedals. But it's tough to always spend 650 or more on just one pedal and am not saying it's not worth it but it can be tough to do that.

Love the video and concept, Mark! I'm curious, What would be your first hypothetical splurge addition/replacement on this board in terms of base tone? Benson? Iridium? Volante?

To expand out on this board the first thing I would get is a compressor. Then I would probably grab a more expressive looper.

@Mark Johnston Hey, love your channel! Do you need the FS06 preamp pedal, if you are trying to use the FS07 cab pedal in an "ampless" rig? (I know others on KZread have said they are being marketed to work one with the other.) Could you substitute....say....one of your favorite "clean boost" pedals like the 1981 Inventions DRV in place of the FS06 preamp pedal, in such a setup and get good results for a clean-boosted ambient guitar sound, with good tone, and adequate gain? Is a preamp absolutely necessary in this setup? Also, is there a way to tame the volume of the single-knob fuzz "Singularity" effect (....I'm trying to using the Collision Devices Black Hole Symmetry pedal's fuzz with the Flamma FS06/FS07 preamp/cab simulator....) if using a digital amp sim like the FS06 preamp from Flamma? (I realize now that that's probably why you ran your signal into your Harmony amp in your signal chain in your Black Hole Symmetry demo....to get the fuzz to interact with an analog tube preamp.) Keep doing what you do....both on the channel, and with Almanor! Great stuff!

I think with any hobby or musical journey with gear it’s about going one piece at a time. Rather than thinking about it as a 5,000 investment. One, you get to deeply learn each piece of gear and what it does to your around rather than just surface level knowledge of a bunch of pedals. Two) each pedal will inspire more playing and 3) pedals accumulate before you know it without feeling like you just dumped a down payment on a car.

So should I buy these pedals separately or get the Flamma FX200? Can the FX 200 do the same as these?

Love Flamma

Thanks for the thorough video. Is the cab sim pedal going to an interface and then computer? Thinking of purchasing the preamp and cab sim if I will be able to go amp-less, but I wanna make sure that is how the signal chain goes.

@markjohnstonofficial

That’s correct. The cab sim just goes to my door and XLR to my interface

My question is not about the video contents, BUT what patch cords you using? What power supply? I need your scholarly advice 🤙

Is the preamp stereo with a TRS?

The Flamma FS02 is a lovely reverb pedal..I have a CKk infinite reverb and Neunaber Immerse Mk 2 and love them..but I still have the Flamma as backup..

@@timlee2580 I would describe the sound of the CKk stereo reverb as very powerful,deep and rich..A brilliant reverb for huge ambient soundscapes..The Immerse is more dynamic soundwise..More middle and high frequencies etc..also excellent..I have them both on my board.. Having them both on and your in humongous ambient sound territory.. Also I have just ordered a Dreadbox Darkness so Il have 3 reverbs!!I sold my beloved Flamma to help fund other pedals but it will always have a special place in my heart...

Mark, in your signal path, Wet effects are before or after the Preamp pedal? And, is the Cab Sim at the end? Bro, This video is pure gold, I have the FS07 Preamp and the Flamma Reverb and they are very good

The order the pedals are laid out in the description is the order they’re run in the video

I have an FS22 Ekoverb pedal. The FS02 Reverb and the FS03 Delay pedals are also attractive, but I don't want to spend for something redundant and collect unnecessary pedals. Do FS02 and/or FS03 add so much over the FS22 that worth buying? Which gives more plus over the Ekoverb? Both? Please help. Thank you.

I prefer separate effects. If broken, you dont loose 2.

Can these take a line level signal, like from an audio interface? Thinking about the stereo reverb and delay.
