The Flamma FS22 Ekoverb is a stereo delay and reverb pedal that packs both time-based effects into one enclosure. Flamma Innovation lists it as a "Guitar Stereo Dual Reverb Delay Effects Pedal" with dual footswitches, so you can switch the delay and reverb sides independently1. Pedal of the Day called it a pedal that "combines our two favorite effects into one solid enclosure"2.
What makes it different from a simple combined delay/reverb box is its routing and its mode structure. The two effects run in parallel, meaning they do not feed each other but work as separate effects, and each can be played on its own by turning the other effect's Level knob down to zero3.
Three paired delay and reverb modes
A toggle switch selects between three sets of dual algorithms, each pairing a delay type with a reverb type3. Pedal of the Day laid out the three modes as follows2:
| Mode | Delay | Reverb |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reverse Delay | Swell Reverb |
| 2 | Reel Echo | Modulated Reverb |
| 3 | Classic Analog Delay | Shimmer Reverb |
That spread covers a wide range of ground: reverse delay plays your repeats backwards, reel echo emulates a tape-echo character, and classic analog delay sits in the darker, warmer territory of analog delay circuits. On the reverb side, swell, modulated and shimmer types give you everything from a swelling pad to a pitch-shifted ambient wash. Flamma also describes these as 3 pairs of built-in delay and reverb effects1.
Controls and the two footswitches
Each side of the pedal has its own control set. The delay side carries Time, Level and Tone controls, while the reverb side has Decay, Tone and Pre-Delay knobs2. Each effect can be mixed in as needed via its respective Level knob2, which is also how you solo one effect: turn the other side's Level to zero3.
The two footswitches handle bypass and tempo. One switches the effect, and the tap tempo footswitch does double duty: it taps in your tempo, and holding it down accesses a momentary freeze feature, which activates while pressed and fades back to normal once released2. Delicious Audio describes the same behavior: "The Tap Tempo footswitch, besides doing what it's supposed to do, will also create a momentary freeze effect when held"3. Flamma lists this as an individual tap tempo function1.
Trails, bypass and stereo operation
When you bypass the effect, you can choose whether the repeats and reverb keep ringing out. Pedal of the Day notes "There's even an options to turn on/off the trails when you bypass the effect"2. With trails on, your sound decays naturally after switching off; with trails off, everything cuts immediately.
The pedal is true bypass, which Flamma says reduces signal loss when it is off1. It also runs in stereo, an option Pedal of the Day highlighted, giving the delay and reverb a wider spread across two outputs2.
Price and what reviewers said
The FS22 Ekoverb sells for $98.00 USD on Flamma's own product page1, the same price Pedal of the Day quoted at launch in 20202. Flamma's page also shows a $128.00 USD figure1; the two prices appear side by side on the maker's listing, likely a regular and alternate price, and which one applies is unresolved.
Pedal of the Day's verdict was positive on value:
"and is well worth the price of admission"
Pedal of the Day, 20202
For context, Flamma Innovation launched as a pedal brand in 2019 and released its first pedals in 2020, with the FS22 arriving as part of that early wave of affordable multi-mode stereo time pedals. The company's later line-up includes the Flamma FS03 delay looper and the Flamma FC17 Analog Delay.

Questions
Can the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb run in stereo?
Yes. Flamma lists it as a stereo delay and reverb pedal, and Pedal of the Day's review confirms the effects can be run in stereo. Running it in stereo gives the delay and reverb separate left and right outputs for a wider sound.
Does the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb have tap tempo?
Yes. Flamma gives it an individual tap tempo function, and the tap tempo footswitch sets the delay's tempo. Holding that same switch down instead activates a momentary freeze effect, which fades back to normal playing once you release it.
Can I turn trails off on the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb?
Yes. Pedal of the Day's review notes an option to turn the trails on or off when you bypass the effect. With trails on, repeats and reverb continue to ring out after you switch the effect off; with trails off, they cut immediately.
What does the freeze function do on the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb?
Holding the tap tempo footswitch creates a momentary freeze effect, according to Flamma and Delicious Audio. It holds the current sound in place while you keep the switch pressed, then fades back to your normal signal once you release it.
Can I use the delay and reverb separately on the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb?
Yes. The two effects run in parallel rather than feeding each other, so each can be used on its own by turning the other effect's Level knob down to zero. You can also run both together, mixed to taste with their respective Level knobs.
Is the Flamma FS22 Ekoverb true bypass?
Yes. Flamma describes it as low-noise true bypass, which the maker says reduces signal loss when the pedal is switched off.
