The Flamma Innovation FC06 Distortion is a mini analog distortion pedal with three controls and two voicing modes. It was unveiled in 2021, when Delicious Audio described it as "a new, mini, cute-looking, super-affordable two-mode Distortion pedal simply called Dist" from "Chinese pedal builder Flamma"1. Flamma Innovation's own product page now lists the FC06 as sold out2.
What it does
The FC06 is a compact take on a standard distortion pedal. Pedal of the Day introduced it as "a pedal that's small in size but looms large over your tone"3. JHS Pedals' blog, in a piece on the Flamma range, called it "a totally usable pedal"4. As a distortion pedal, it sits alongside the wider family of Distortion Pedals, between lighter Overdrive Pedals and fuzzier Fuzz Pedals.
Volume, Tone and Drive
The pedal keeps its control layout to the classic three. Pedal of the Day notes that "the FC06 Distortion features Volume, Tone and Drive parameters, which work together to form the base drive sound here"3.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Volume | Sets the pedal's output level, working with Tone and Drive to form the base drive sound3 |
| Tone | Shapes the treble character of the drive sound3 |
| Drive | Sets the amount of distortion, and in HP mode raises the high-mid boost as it increases3 |
HP and LP modes
Alongside the three knobs, a mode switch selects between two distortion voicings. The maker's page lists the working modes simply as HP/LP2, and Pedal of the Day spells out what each does:
- HP (High Peak): boosts the low end and, by increasing the amount of drive, boosts high-mid range tones as well3
- LP (Low Peak): "adds in just a bit of color and boost to your clean tone, without washing it away in too much distortion"3
In practice, that gives one pedal two personalities: a fuller, low-and-mid-forward distortion in HP, and a gentler, cleaner-leaning push in LP3.
Build, size and bypass
The FC06 is built as a mini pedal in a metal shell3. Pedal of the Day highlights "true bypass circuitry and a size that you can fit in your pocket"3, and the maker's page confirms the true bypass switch2. True bypass means the pedal's circuit is taken out of the signal path entirely when it is switched off.
The FC06 is a compact unit: Flamma Innovation describes it as a mini analog pedal with true bypass in a metal shell3. If you are looking at the wider Flamma compact line, the company also makes pedals such as the FC19 Black Distortion and the FC20 British Distortion.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day's verdict summed the pedal up as "Simple controls, easy to fit anywhere, great tones and an incredible price point"3. Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio, writing at the pedal's unveiling, framed it as a super-affordable two-mode mini distortion from Flamma1.

Questions
Is the Flamma FC06 true bypass?
Yes. Flamma Innovation's product page lists a true bypass switch, and Pedal of the Day's review likewise describes the FC06 as having true bypass circuitry. When the pedal is off, your guitar's signal passes through untouched, which matters if you run a long pedalboard chain or use the FC06 only occasionally for heavier sounds.
Is the Flamma FC06 analog or digital?
The FC06 is an analog pedal. Pedal of the Day's review describes it as a mini analog guitar pedal with a metal shell. That means the distortion is produced by analog circuitry rather than digital modeling, and there is no conversion of the signal in the drive path.
What is the difference between HP and LP mode on the Flamma FC06?
HP stands for High Peak and LP for Low Peak. According to Pedal of the Day, HP boosts the low end and, as you turn up the Drive, boosts high-mid range tones as well, for a fuller distorted voice. LP adds just a bit of color and boost to your clean tone without washing it away in too much distortion.
How big is the Flamma FC06 Distortion?
The FC06 is a mini pedal. Pedal of the Day describes it as small enough that you can fit it in your pocket, and notes it is easy to fit anywhere on a pedalboard. Exact enclosure dimensions are not published on the pages covered here.
Is the Flamma FC06 still available?
Flamma Innovation's own product page for the FC06 Distortion Effects Pedal was listed as sold out as of October 2026. The pedal was introduced in 2021, and Flamma has since released newer distortion pedals such as the FC19 Black Distortion and FC20 British Distortion.
