FLAMMA FB200 Bass Multi Effects Pedal

Intelligent Combined Effects Pedal

Nowadays, it has become increasingly common for multi-effect guitar pedal producers to prioritize complex digital user interfaces and touchscreens, both of which certainly have their benefits. However, FLAMMA has recognized that this isn’t always practical, with many musicians preferring a more tactile, hands-on experience. What’s more, many bass guitarists are feeling left out, so to accommodate this niche in the market, the company has announced the release of the new FB200. The first thing that bass guitarists will notice when getting their hands on the FB200 is its prioritization of physical controls. 16 dials line the device horizontally, enabling users to manually toggle effects on and off, change their type, and adjust their parameters. Out of these dials, the most notable are the amp and cabinet simulation modules, which impressively consist of 20 bass-specific simulations.

It’s certainly convenient that the device comes preloaded with these amp and cabinet sims, but to provide added versatility, it also supports third-party impulse response loading across 9 additional loading slots. It is even compatible with the FLAMMA app, allowing users to share and download tones and presets through the cloud. The FB200 strikes a balance between portability and practicality. Measuring 311 × 67.5 × 49.7 mm and weighing just over half a kilogram (578 g), it is compact enough to slip into a gig bag pocket yet large enough to provide four multi-purpose footswitches and a generous panel of 16 control knobs. The top surface includes a three-character LED display, which may not win awards for visual clarity but gets the job done when navigating presets or adjusting parameters on the fly.
