The Flamma FC14 is an ultra-compact micro pedal from Flamma Innovation that delivers a classic analog chorus effect. It is built around a BBD chip, the bucket-brigade device at the heart of traditional analog chorus circuits, and it houses that circuit in a durable metal mini-case. Flamma lists it at a regular price of $39.90 USD as of October 2026, down from a listed $59.90 USD1. When Delicious Audio covered the pedal in September 2022, Paolo De Gregorio described it as "a $40 analog chorus (read, with a BBD chip in it)"2.
What it does to your sound
A chorus pedal doubles your guitar's signal with a slightly delayed, modulated copy, thickening single notes and adding width to chords. The FC14 does this with analog circuitry rather than digital processing. Delicious Audio's verdict was that "the FC14 delivers the classic sound of analog choruses that costs twice or thrice as much"2. The site described it as an ultra-compact micro pedal31.
Pedal of the Day reviewed the FC14 in July 2022, introducing it as one of Flamma Innovation's newest offerings3.
The controls: Level, Depth and Rate
The FC14 keeps things simple, with the three typical controls of a simple modulation pedal2:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Level | Sets the volume of the effect3 |
| Depth | Sets the effect intensity3 |
| Rate | Sets the speed of the modulation1 |
Flamma describes the layout this way: "With three separate knobs for volume, depth, and rate, the FC14 offers users control over their tone to find just the ri"1. There are no presets, no stereo jacks and no secondary functions to learn: set the three knobs and step on the switch.
Size, power and bypass
The FC14 belongs to Flamma's FC series of compact pedals. Flamma notes that, like all pedals in the FC series, the FC14 fits comfortably in tight places and can easily be powered by a 9V power supply1. Pedal of the Day's review repeats the 9V power requirement3.
Flamma's product page gives the 9V supply requirement but does not list a current draw or a battery option, so plan your pedalboard power accordingly.
Both the maker and the press describe the bypass as true bypass, meaning the effect circuit is taken out of the signal path when the pedal is off13.
How it compares
Within Flamma's own range, the FC14 is an ultra-compact micro pedal1. It is built as a single-purpose analog chorus rather than a multi-effect, so the trade it offers a player is fewer options in exchange for a small enclosure and dedicated controls.
For more on how this kind of effect works and what else is available, see the Chorus Pedals page.

Questions
Is the Flamma FC14 true bypass?
Yes. Flamma Innovation describes the FC14 as having a true-bypass circuit, and Pedal of the Day's review repeats the same specification. That means the pedal's circuit is removed from the signal path when it is switched off, so your guitar's signal passes through only the jacks and the footswitch.
What power supply does the Flamma FC14 use?
The FC14 is powered by a 9V power supply. Flamma notes that, like all pedals in the FC series, it can easily be powered by a 9V supply, and Pedal of the Day's review says the same. The maker does not list a current draw or battery option on its product page.
Is the Flamma FC14 analog or digital?
The FC14 is an analog chorus. Flamma calls it a classic analog chorus effect, and Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio describes it as an analog chorus with a BBD chip in it, the bucket-brigade device chip that classic analog chorus circuits use to create their delayed, modulated repeats.
How much does the Flamma FC14 cost?
Flamma Innovation lists the FC14 at a regular price of $39.90 USD as of October 2026, down from a listed price of $59.90 USD. When Delicious Audio covered the pedal in September 2022, it described it as a $40 analog chorus.
