Flamma Innovation released the Flamma FC15, an analog flanger in the company's mini enclosure format, as one of three pedals joining its Mini FC-Series, Delicious Audio reported on October 5, 2022¹. The maker lists the pedal at a regular price of $39.90 USD².

The FC15 has controls for Color, Range and a large Rate knob, and a toggle switch for Normal and Filter modes²¹. Delicious Audio describes Color as controlling the effect's feedback and Range as setting the width of the sweep¹. Pedal of the Day describes Range differently, saying it adjusts the speed of the flanger in Normal mode and does not work in Filter mode, where it adjusts the filter matrix or blend³. Delicious Audio says that in Filter mode the Range control sets the filter's cutoff frequency¹. The pedal uses a true bypass circuit²¹³ and can be powered by a 9V power supply³.

Delicious Audio describes the Filter mode as adding a low pass filter that makes the sound warmer and more watery¹. The site also reports that the three new pedals are "in all likelihood circuits already found in some old Mooer pedals"¹. Pedal of the Day calls the FC15 an ultra-compact micro pedal³.

Delicious Audio's assessment: "Like the other mini pedals by this newish Chinese builder, the Flamma FC15 Flanger is a simple effect that does well what it promises at a very affordable price"¹. The FC15 sits alongside other flanger pedals in the compact format.
