The Flamma FF20 is a stereo dual-footswitch looper and drum machine pedal from Flamma. It records up to 300 minutes of stereo loop audio, stores loops in 100 memory slots, and includes a built-in drum machine with 11 groove styles, each with 20 rhythmic patterns12. It sits in the same combined looper-plus-drums category as pedals like the BOSS RC-10R Rythm Loop Station and the Flamma FF03 Stereo Looper & Drum pedal, and alongside other loopers in the looping pedals and drum pedals sections.
Flamma's own product page for the FF20 showed it as sold out as of 26 October 20262.
What it does
The FF20 combines two functions a practicing player usually needs at once: a phrase looper for building up arrangements, and a drum machine for playing against a beat. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as a stereo dual-footswitch looper and drum machine pedal, offering up to 300 minutes of stereo loop recording time1. The drum machine side carries 11 groove styles, each with 20 rhythmic patterns, giving a library of 220 patterns to play over2.
The dual footswitches are the core of the operation, giving separate switching for looper control while playing1. Two switches matter on a looper because one foot can manage recording and playback while the other handles a second function, such as stopping or layering, without reaching down to the pedal mid-phrase.
Stereo operation and silent practice
The FF20 is built around flexible 1/4-inch dual input and output ports, supporting both mono and stereo setups, so it works equally well with a single cable into an amp or with a stereo rig2. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists this as flexible mono/stereo I/O support1.
For quiet playing, the pedal has a 3.5mm headphone output. Flamma says it allows "any guitarist to continue jamming silently when necessary"2, and RockBoard describes it as a headphone output for silent practice1. Combined with the drum machine, that makes the FF20 a self-contained practice rig: guitar in, headphones out, drums running, no amplifier needed.
Recording modes
Alongside normal footswitch-controlled recording, the FF20 offers an auto-record mode triggered by a specified input threshold1. Flamma describes this as "Auto Record mode, facilitating highly precise loop recording, triggered at a specified signal input threshold"2. In practice, the pedal starts capturing the moment your signal crosses the threshold you set, which removes the timing gap of hitting the switch as you come in on the downbeat.
The controls
The FF20's top panel is built around two main controls plus the dual footswitches12:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Loop playback dial | Adjustable dial for loop playback12 |
| Menu navigation encoder | Dedicated encoder for moving through the pedal's menus1 |
| Dual footswitches | Foot control for recording, playback and looper operation1 |
Power
The FF20 runs on a 9V DC center-negative supply and draws 300mA1. That current draw is well beyond what a battery or a low-output daisy-chain connection typically provides, so plan for a dedicated supply output rated to cover it.
Where it sits
The FF20 is a combined looper and drum machine pedal from Flamma. Comparable pedals from other makers in the same space include the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro, the MOOER GL200 and the Donner Circle Looper. On the specifications given, the FF20 offers 300 minutes of stereo recording time and 100 memory slots1, with dual footswitch control and a digital circuit running on 9V DC center negative power at 300mA1.

Questions
Does the Flamma FF20 run on a battery?
The FF20 is powered from a 9V DC center-negative supply and draws 300mA. No battery option is given for it, and a 300mA draw is high enough that a battery or a shared daisy-chain output is not a practical way to run it. Use a dedicated supply output rated for at least 300mA.
Can the Flamma FF20 be used in stereo?
Yes. The FF20 has flexible quarter-inch dual input and output ports and supports both mono and stereo setups, so it works with a single guitar cable or with a stereo rig. Flamma describes it as a stereo dual-footswitch looper and drum machine pedal.
Can I practice silently with the Flamma FF20?
Yes. The FF20 has a 3.5mm headphone output, which Flamma says allows any guitarist to continue jamming silently when necessary. That makes it usable in an apartment or late at night without an amplifier.
How many loops can the Flamma FF20 store?
The FF20 has 100 memory slots for storing loops, alongside up to 300 minutes of stereo loop recording time. That is enough room for a large library of phrases and full song arrangements.
Does the Flamma FF20 have an auto-record mode?
Yes. The FF20 has an Auto Record mode that Flamma says facilitates highly precise loop recording, triggered at a specified signal input threshold. Instead of tapping the footswitch to start recording, the pedal begins capturing as soon as your playing crosses the threshold you set.
