I've been playing guitar on and off for about 17 years and got this pedal a few years ago. I think I just wanted it to use as a pitch bender; I was dabbling in instrumental metal at the time but I do not have any guitars with tremolo bridges. I played it once, hated the presets which as usual are saturated in delay and distortion/overdrive, and shelved it.Well, as time's gone on, I've gotten more into off-the-cuff jamming with portable synthesizers, but dream of integrating guitar into that. But, I've sold off nearly all my guitar gear and don't want to try and position an amp with my portable synths.I recently sold off another wave of guitar gear and, plugging this in to make sure it worked before I listed it for sale, started fiddling with it and realized I was about to sell off a gem, one that now works perfectly for my needs.To start, this runs on 9 volts, about 300 mA. I can very easily power this either by rigging common 9 volt alkaline batteries in parallel, or with a power bank of appropriate voltage, or a high capacity bank that has a standard wall outlet jack. Either way, this pedal is portable and with a bit of rigging, can be "cordless" in a sense.Second, I wish I hadn't been so shallow with this pedal when I first got it. It is SO EASY to edit! 97% of the work done to change the presets is done with the encoder knob. Rotate to toggle, click down to select, rotate to adjust what you've selected, click down to back out and pick something else. It's that easy. Back when I was playing guitar a lot more, I would've had a heyday toying with tone possibilities with this pedal!But, since I'm using this pedal as basically a means to play my guitar with synthesizers, which are sequenced in advance, I only wanted two basic presets: a clean with a bit of reverb and the lightest touch of chorus, but with other effects ready to activate at will, and a very high gain lead tone, for "vocal" melody lines over synth sequences.This pedal had just enough options for amp, cab, effects selections, and controls for each of those items that I was able to really take my time and sculpt these two desired presets. But not so much that it took ages and ages to find just one preset to build off of, or ages and ages just to dial in a preset to my liking. Yet, I don't feel there's anything lacking. If this pedal doesn't allow you to dial a tone you like, then you're after something super specific, and you just need to get the exact gear that will get you that tone.I shunned modelling amplifiers back when they first came onto the scene. "This setting sounds like a Fender Bassman with a Shure SM57 set off-center to the cone!" Really? From a practice amp with a single 8" speaker? Give me a break.This pedal does not do that. There are some amp settings that will specify name brands like "Fender", "Mesa-Boogie", and "Jet". But that's it. It makes no promises to nail exact tones, but the settings will put you in the ballpark of the brand it's named after, and I personally think that's how digital modelling should be presented.While I'm basically using this pedal as a desktop unit, it feels VERY durable and I'd have no concerns sticking it to a pedalboard and stomping away at it. Also, this pedal has basically replaced my practice amp, a Blackstar HT-1R.Why? Because since I've got the tones I want nailed down, AND the fact that this pedal has drum sequences built in, practicing is much more lively and for the first time, I think I may actually be developing a sense of rhythmic timing! I'm sure it's obvious to at least most of you readers at this point that I am a knobtwister, so I can easily waste practice sessions toying with controls. Heck, I haven't even sat down with the looper to get that into the equation yet!Again, I regret that I didn't give this pedal the fair shot it deserves when I first got it, but I am also glad I starting fiddling with it before I put it up for sale! Looking back at the price I paid for it (it was on a slight sale), I really feel that I got an excellent pedal with great quality in build, component and audio quality! If FLAMMA keeps this up, they're going to catch some fierce attention from big name brands!
