FLAMMA FS07 Stereo Cabinet Simulation Pedal User Manual

1. Introduction

The FLAMMA FS07 Stereo Cabinet Simulation Pedal is a high-quality effects unit designed for electric guitarists. It offers advanced cabinet simulation and Impulse Response (IR) loading capabilities, allowing users to achieve diverse tonal characteristics. With 7 user preset slots, each capable of storing two different cabinet settings, and support for third-party IR files, the FS07 provides extensive sound customization. This manual details the pedal's features, setup, operation, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

2. Safety Instructions

• Use only a 9V DC power supply with a minimum current of 304mA. Insufficient current may cause operational issues.
• Ensure the power supply polarity is center negative.
• Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the unit to strong impacts.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

4. Controls and Features

The FLAMMA FS07 features intuitive controls for easy sound shaping and preset management.

Figure 2: Overview of FLAMMA FS07 controls.

• LEVEL Knob: Adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal.
• TYPE Knob: Selects one of the 11 factory cabinet simulations or loaded IRs.
• LATENCY Knob: Adjusts the latency of the cabinet simulation.
• LOW CUT Knob: Controls the low-frequency cutoff point.
• HIGH CUT Knob: Controls the high-frequency cutoff point.
• SAVE A/B Button: Used to save current settings to a preset slot. Each slot can store two different cabinet settings (A and B).
• Preset LEDs (1-7): Indicate the currently selected preset slot.
• Footswitch: Activates/bypasses the effect or cycles through presets, depending on its assigned mode.

5. Connections

The FS07 offers flexible connectivity options for various setups.

Figure 3: Pedalboard connection diagrams.

• INPUT L (MONO) / INPUT R Jacks: Connect your guitar or other effects pedals here. Use INPUT L for mono input.
• OUTPUT L (MONO) / OUTPUT R Jacks: Connect to your amplifier, mixer, audio interface, or FRFR system. Use OUTPUT L for mono output.
• DC 9V Input: Connect a 9V DC center-negative power supply (minimum 304mA).
• USB Port: Connect to a computer for software editing and IR loading.

Connection Diagrams:

1. Mono Setup: Guitar -> Stompbox/Effect Pedals/Preamp -> FS07 Input L (Mono) -> FS07 Output L (Mono) -> Mixer/Monitor/Audio Interface/FRFR System.
2. Stereo Setup: Guitar -> Stompbox/Effect Pedals/Preamp -> FS07 Input L (Mono) & Input R -> FS07 Output L & Output R -> Mixer/Monitor/Audio Interface/FRFR System.
3. Multi-Effect Setup: Guitar -> Multi-Effect Board -> FS07 Input L (Mono) -> FS07 Output L (Mono) -> Mixer/Monitor/Audio Interface/FRFR System.
4. FX LOOP with Amplifier: Guitar -> Multi-Effect Board (Send) -> FS07 Input L (Mono) -> FS07 Output L (Mono) -> Mixer/Monitor/Audio Interface/FRFR System. Multi-Effect Board (Return) -> Amplifier. (Note: In this setup, connect the output to the amplifier to bypass the cab sim. The other output connecting to the mixer/FRFR system should have the cab sim on.)

6. Factory Cabinet Simulations

The FS07 comes pre-loaded with 11 high-quality factory cabinet simulations. These can be selected using the TYPE knob.

8. Footswitch Modes

The footswitch on the FS07 can be customized to operate in different modes, offering flexibility during live performance or practice.

Figure 6: Footswitch functionality options.

• ON/OFF Mode: In this mode, a single press of the footswitch toggles the effect on or off.
• Preset Switch Mode: In this mode, a single press of the footswitch cycles through the saved presets (1-7).

Refer to the editor software for instructions on how to assign the footswitch mode.

Detailed technical specifications for the FLAMMA FS07 pedal.

10. Troubleshooting

• No Sound: Check all cable connections, ensure the power supply meets specifications (9V DC, >304mA, center negative), and verify the pedal is not in bypass mode.
• Poor Sound Quality: Ensure correct input/output connections, check instrument cables, and adjust the LOW CUT/HIGH CUT knobs to fine-tune the tone.
• Pedal Not Responding: Disconnect and reconnect the power supply. If issues persist, try resetting the pedal via the editor software (if available).
• Software Connection Issues: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected and the correct drivers are installed (if required). Try restarting the software and your computer.

11. Maintenance

• Clean the pedal's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store the pedal in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply.
