Quick guide from the manual
The Flamma FV04 is a vocal harmony pedal designed for vocalists, offering 12 pitches with 11 harmony modes, dedicated reverb, and support for guitar input. This guide covers essential setup and operational procedures for the device.
Device Overview
The top panel features controls for harmony selection, key settings, volume levels, and a footswitch for pedal activation. Rear connections include microphone input, XLR output, guitar input/output, and power supply input.
Setup and Operation
- Power Supply: Use a DC 9V 1.5A center-negative adapter.
- Selecting Key/Root Note: Rotate the KEY knob to select the desired scale root note (C, D, E, F, G, A, B). Press the SHARP button to modulate to a higher semitone.
- Major/Minor Scale: Press the SHARP button twice quickly to toggle between major and minor scales. The button blinks when in minor mode.
- Harmony Modes: Select from 11 different harmony modes using the MODE knob.
- Reverb Effects: Adjust vocal reverb by holding the SHARP button while rotating the LEVEL knob. Adjust guitar reverb by holding the footswitch to enter hidden mode (LED turns yellow) and rotating the LEVEL knob.
- Vocal Tone Mode: Enter hidden mode by holding the footswitch, then press the SHARP button to cycle through Normal (LED off), Warm (Red LED), and Bright (Blue LED) modes.
Output Modes
To switch between output modes, hold the footswitch while powering on the device. The TONE button and footswitch LED indicate the mode: Blue for individual mode (guitar and mic signals separated) and Red for mixed mode (both signals through both outputs).
Safety and Maintenance
Ensure the device is kept away from water and heat sources. Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not install near ventilation openings. Always use the specified power adapter to avoid damage.
