The Flamma FX50 is a portable guitar multi-effects unit from Flamma Innovation, built for quiet, grab-and-go practice rather than stage use. It packs five effect modules covering 15 effect types into a pocketable body, with 16 preset patches and 16 user patches for storing sounds. Power comes from a DC 9V adapter or two AAA (LR03) batteries, and it connects to headphones and a music player through 1/8-inch jacks1.
What it does
The FX50 groups its 15 effect types into five modules, so a patch can combine effects from each module at once. The 16 preset patches arrive loaded from the factory, and the 16 user patches hold your own edits, giving 32 patch locations in total1.
Because the outputs are 1/8-inch, the FX50 is aimed at headphones and small speakers rather than a guitar amp. The 1/8-inch AUX in jack lets you feed in a phone or music player and play along, and the battery option means you can do it anywhere1.
The FX50 runs on two AAA batteries or a 9V adapter. It is a practice unit with 1/8-inch connections, not a pedalboard multi-effects with instrument-level 1/4-inch jacks.
Where it sits in Flamma's range
Flamma builds the FX50 as a compact multi-effects unit, and also makes single-effect pedals such as the FS05 multi-modulation and FC05 Mod, which work differently: one effect type per pedal rather than combined modules. The FX50 is listed at $49.00 USD1, and it is specified to run either on a DC 9V adapter or on two AAA/LR03 batteries1.
Price and availability

Questions
Can the Flamma FX50 run on batteries?
Yes. Flamma specifies a DC 9V adapter or two AAA (LR03) batteries as the power supply, so the FX50 can be used away from a power outlet. That makes it suited to practicing in places where plugging in is not practical, though for regular use a 9V adapter keeps you from going through batteries.
How many presets does the Flamma FX50 have?
The FX50 holds 16 preset patches and 16 user patches, for 32 patch locations in total. The preset patches come loaded from the factory, while the user patches are where you can save your own combinations of the unit's five effect modules and 15 effect types.
What colors does the Flamma FX50 come in?
Flamma lists the FX50 in two color options: green and orange. Both are the same unit underneath, so the choice is purely cosmetic.
Does the Flamma FX50 have a headphone output?
Yes. The FX50 has a 1/8-inch phones jack for headphones, alongside a 1/8-inch AUX in jack. The headphone output is what makes it a self-contained practice tool: plug in headphones, connect a phone or music player to the AUX input, and play along quietly.
