The Flamma FF03 is a compact pedal combining a looper and a drum machine. It features 40 memory slots, 160 minutes of total recording time, and USB connectivity for audio file management. Ensure you use a 9V 200mA center-negative power supply to avoid noise or damage.
Panel Overview
The pedal features a screen for status, a LOOPER knob for looper settings, and a DRUMMER knob for drum machine settings. Two footswitches control recording, playback, and tap tempo. Input and output jacks support mono or stereo connections.
Looper Operation
- Recording: Select an empty slot and press the Left Footswitch.
- Overdub & Playback: Press the Left Footswitch during recording to start playback and overdub. Press the Right Footswitch to play back without overdubbing.
- Undo/Redo: Press and hold the Right Footswitch for 1 second during playback.
- Stop: Press the Right Footswitch once. Double-press to stop immediately without fade-out.
- Delete: Press and hold the Right Footswitch for 1 second while stopped.
Drum Machine & Looper Sync Mode
In Sync Mode, the looper and drum machine are quantized to align track length with drum patterns. Enable this in the Settings interface. When enabled, recording or playback triggers the drum machine to start from the beginning.
Computer Data Management
Connect the FF03 to a computer via USB to manage audio files. The device appears as a removable disk named FF03. Inside the WAVE folder, subfolders W01-W40 correspond to the 40 storage slots. Only 44.1kHz/16-bit WAV stereo files are supported. Rename files to RECXX (e.g., REC01 for slot W01) for proper import.
