The Flamma FS06 is a digital preamp pedal from Flamma Innovation that puts seven amp-based preamp models in one stompbox enclosure. Instead of carrying an amp, a player can dial in a model based on a well-known amplifier, set the gain and EQ, and run the pedal into an amp, a mixer or a PA. Flamma describes it as offering "7 different preamp models that cover a wide variety of classic and modern guitar tones"1.
The pedal is fully digital, and its built-in cabinet simulation is the feature that makes it work as a complete amp replacement for direct-to-board setups. Flamma states that the "built-in cabinet simulation allows users to connect directly to mixer/PA system"1. It is positioned as a budget-friendly option, listed by Flamma at a regular price of $78.00 USD as of October 20261.
The seven preamp models
Each of the FS06's seven models emulates a different amplifier, which is what gives the pedal its range. Pedal of the Day reviewed it in September 2021 as part of a Flamma-themed series and laid out the model list, noting that the models "emulate some pretty incredible amplifiers"3. The models the review named:
| Model | Name | Based on |
|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Deluxe Blue | Fender Blues Deluxe3 |
| Model 2 | Ac31 | VOX AC303 |
| Model 3 | Coral Reef | Two Rock Coral3 |
| Model 6 | MB 5th Gen | Mesa/Boogie MARK V3 |
| Model 7 | HVE 5151 | EVH 51503 |
That spread runs from a clean American combo voice at Model 1 to a high-gain rock amp at Model 7, which is how one pedal covers "a wide range of tones fit for any genre," as Flamma's own product description puts it2. JHS Pedals, writing about the Flamma line on its blog in October 2026, summarized the models the same way: "These modes simulate everything from the Fender Deluxe to the Vox AC30"4. The blog's writer called the FS06 a favorite among Flamma's amp and cabinet emulating pedals4.
Controls and presets
The FS06 keeps its control set to the familiar amp-style layout. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists built-in EQ knobs for Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain and Volume, and says those settings "can be saved to each channel's preset slot"2. Pedal of the Day's review described the same arrangement, pairing Level and Gain controls with "a lovely EQ section for controlling your Treble, Midrange and Bass frequencies"3.
- Gain and Level (Volume): set the amount of drive and the output level of the chosen model23
- Bass, Mid, Treble: a three-band EQ for shaping the model's voice23
- Two channels per model: each preamp model has two channels to choose from13
- Preset slot per preamp: each preamp has its own saveable preset, so a setting can be recalled per model13
The two-channel design is the practical difference from a single-voice preamp: a player can set up a cleaner channel and a driven channel within the same amp model, then switch between them with the footswitch312.
Switching models and channels
The seven amp modes are accessible by tapping the Select button or the footswitch, as Delicious Audio described when it covered the pedal in February 20225. The footswitch itself is configurable in two ways. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists two modes of operation, "allowing it to be used as either an on/off switch or a channel selection switch"2, and the maker's product page states the same: the footswitch can be used to switch channels or to toggle the pedal on and off1.
For a player, that choice shapes how the pedal sits on a board. The footswitch can be used as either an on/off switch or a channel selection switch. In channel mode it moves between the two channels of the selected preamp model, while in on/off mode it toggles the pedal on and off213.
Going straight into a mixer or PA
The FS06's cabinet simulation is what lets it work without an amp. Flamma's product page states that the built-in cab sim "allows users to connect directly to mixer/PA system"1. Pedal of the Day confirmed the same capability in its review, noting that the cab sim is configurable, so the pedal can be set up for direct connection or for use with a regular amplifier3.
The FS06 keeps its cab sim built in rather than split out into a separate box, which keeps the amp voice and speaker emulation together in one unit at a regular price of $78.00 USD51. For a player who wants amp-style tones straight into a mixer, that means one pedal covers both jobs instead of two.
What reviewers said
Published coverage of the FS06 has been consistent about what the pedal is and how it is built. Pedal of the Day's 2021 review framed it as seven preamp flavors to explore, each with two channels and a saveable preset3. Delicious Audio described it in 2022 as "a very purple digital Preamp pedal with presets," with the seven amp modes reachable through the Select button or footswitch5. JHS Pedals' 2026 blog post highlighted the FS06 as its writer's favorite of Flamma's amp-emulating pedals4.

Questions
How many preamp models does the Flamma FS06 have?
The FS06 has seven digital preamp models, each based on a different well-known amplifier. Pedal of the Day identified them as voices of the Fender Blues Deluxe, VOX AC30, Two Rock Coral, Mesa/Boogie MARK V and EVH 5150, among others, covering a range of classic and modern guitar tones.
Can the Flamma FS06 go straight into a mixer or PA?
Yes. The FS06 has a built-in cabinet simulation, and Flamma says it allows users to connect directly to a mixer or PA system. Pedal of the Day noted the cab sim can be configured on or off, so the pedal can also feed a regular guitar amp.
Is the Flamma FS06 analog or digital?
It is digital. Flamma lists the FS06 as a digital circuit type, and Delicious Audio described it as a digital preamp pedal when covering it in 2022. The seven amp models and preset saving are handled digitally.
Does the Flamma FS06 save presets?
Yes. Each of the seven preamp models has two channels, and each preamp has its own saveable preset slot. Flamma says the Bass, Mid, Treble, Gain and Volume settings can be saved to each channel's preset slot.
How do I switch models on the Flamma FS06?
The seven amp modes are accessible by tapping the Select button or the footswitch. The footswitch itself has two modes of operation: it can work as a simple on/off switch, or as a channel selection switch to move between the two channels of the current preamp model.
