Quick guide from the manual
The Flamma FC05 is a compact modulation pedal featuring 11 classic effects. To ensure proper operation, use a 9V DC power supply with at least 150mA current and a center-negative polarity. It is highly recommended to use an isolated power supply to avoid unexpected noise when sharing power with other pedals.

The pedal features several controls for shaping your sound:
- MOD knob: Selects one of the 11 available modulation effects.
- CTRL knob: Adjusts specific parameters depending on the selected effect (see CTRL List).
- SPEED knob: Controls the speed of the effect or sampling rate.
- DEPTH knob: Adjusts the strength or mix rate of the effect.
- Footswitch: Toggles the effect on and off.
- LED Indicator: Shows the current operative mode.
CTRL List
The function of the CTRL knob changes based on the selected effect:
- Chorus, Tremolo, Phaser, Vibrato, Rotary, Liquid, Auto Wah, Stutter, Ring: CTRL knob adjusts the Tone.
- Flanger: CTRL knob adjusts the Feedback.
- Low Bit: CTRL knob adjusts the Bit Rate.

Practical help
Common problems
Unexpected noise
Use an isolated or individual power supply instead of sharing power with other pedals.
Device not powering on or short-circuit
Ensure you are using a 9V DC center-negative power supply with at least 150mA current.
Before use
- Verify power supply is 9V DC, center negative, and at least 150mA.
- Ensure the pedal is placed away from heat sources like radiators or stoves.
- Use 1/4 inch mono cables for input and output connections.
- Check that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
Specs in practice
- Input Impedance (470K ohms)
- Standard high impedance for guitar signals to maintain tone quality.
- Current Draw (150mA)
- The minimum power capacity required from your power supply to operate the unit safely.
- Center Negative
- The polarity requirement for the DC plug; the inner pin must be negative.
Model compatibility
- Designed for 1/4 inch mono audio signals.
- Requires isolated power supply for optimal performance.
