Quick Start Guide
To begin using your Flamma FC06 Distortion Pedal, ensure you have a compatible 9V DC power supply. Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack and your amplifier to the OUTPUT jack using standard 1/4 inch mono cables. Engage the effect using the footswitch; the LED will light up when the effect is active.
Top Panel Controls
The FC06 features several controls to shape your sound:
- TRUE BYPASS Footswitch: Toggles the effect on and off.
- ON/OFF LED: Indicates the current status of the pedal.
- Mode Switch: Selects between HP (High Peak) and LP (Low Peak) modes.
- VOLUME Knob: Adjusts the overall output volume of the drive sound.
- TONE Knob: Adjusts the tonal character of the drive sound.
- DRIVE Knob: Adjusts the gain level of the distortion.
Effects Modes
The pedal offers two distinct modes:
- HP (High Peak): Boosts the bottom-end frequencies. Increasing the distortion with the Drive knob provides more volume and a slight boost in the high-mid range (around 3.5KHz).
- LP (Low Peak): Provides minimal coloration to the original sound, making it ideal for clean boosting.
