The Flamma FX150b is an ultra-compact multi-effects processor from Flamma Innovation, built around a high-quality touchscreen and three footswitches for complex live setups1. Flamma lists it at a regular price of $369.00 USD1. It is aimed at players who want a full multi-effects unit in a small footprint, with the touchscreen handling editing and the footswitches handling hands-free control on stage1.
Battery power and where it fits
Battery power is a headline part of the FX150b's design. Flamma specifies a "built-in high quality lithium 3000mA battery" with a self-replaceable battery module, so you can swap the battery module yourself when it wears out rather than retiring the unit2. The maker rates the runtime at up to 5.5 hours2.
That makes the FX150b aimed at situations where a pedalboard power supply is awkward: busking, a park gig, a livestream from a room with no spare outlets. Flamma positions it for "street live, live show and live streaming"2.
The FX150b is made by Flamma Innovation and is listed at a regular price of $369.00 USD1. Its control layout pairs a high-quality touchscreen with three footswitches, which Flamma positions for complex live setups1.
Controls and effect slots
The FX150b is operated from a high-quality touchscreen, with three footswitches for complex live setups, so you can change patches and turn effects on and off hands-free while editing on the screen1. For storage, Flamma lists 180 editable user effect slots, enough room to build a full library of your own patches1.
If you are new to multi-effects units, they gather many effects such as overdrive, delay, reverb and modulation into one box, and the FX150b follows that pattern in a compact form.
FX150 vs FX150b
| Flamma FX150b | |
|---|---|
| Maker | Flamma Innovation1 |
| List price | $369.00 USD1 |
| Controls | High-quality touchscreen1 |
| Footswitches | 3 footswitches for complex live setups1 |
The practical difference is power. If you always play where an outlet is within reach, the standard FX150 may do the job without the battery; if you busk or stream from unpredictable locations, the FX150b's battery lasts up to 5.5 hours2.

Flamma lists the FX150b Nebula Green at a regular price of $369.00 USD on its product page1. Flamma's wider multi-effects range includes the smaller FX100 and FX50, the mains-powered FX200 and battery-equipped FX200b, and smaller pedals like the FS05 multi-modulation and FC05 Mod.

Questions
Does the Flamma FX150b run on a battery?
Yes. Flamma built the FX150b around a high quality lithium 3000mA rechargeable battery, and the company describes the pedal as an ultra-compact professional multi-effects unit that brings convenience for a guitarist playing street live, live shows and live streaming. The battery module is self-replaceable, so you can swap it yourself rather than sending the unit in for service.
How many effect slots does the FX150b have?
The FX150b offers 180 editable user effect slots according to Flamma's product page. That gives room to build and store a large library of your own patches across the unit's effects, edited from the high-quality touchscreen and the three footswitches.
How long does the FX150b battery last?
Flamma states that the FX150b's built-in battery lasts up to 5.5 hours on a charge. That figure comes from the maker's product page, so actual runtime depends on how you use the unit, but 5.5 hours is the published maximum.
Can I replace the FX150b battery myself?
Yes. Flamma describes the FX150b's battery as a self-replaceable battery module, meaning the 3000mA lithium pack is designed to be swapped by the owner rather than requiring the unit to be opened by a technician or returned to the maker.
Does the FX150b have an aux input?
Yes. The FX150b has an auxiliary input, listed on Flamma's product page. An aux input lets you feed in an external audio source, such as a phone or music player, which is handy for practicing along to tracks or for the live streaming use Flamma describes.
What is the difference between the Flamma FX150 and FX150b?
The FX150b is the battery-equipped version of the FX150. Flamma launched both as new 2023 products, and the b in FX150b marks the built-in 3000mA rechargeable lithium battery that runs up to 5.5 hours. The FX150b is also sold in a Nebula Green color. If you always play where mains power is available, the standard FX150 covers the same ground without the battery.
