Impulse responses are already de rigueur for recording electric guitars, and as live music returns, tone-savvy pedalboarders could find themselves calling upon cab sims for consistent sounds night after night. We’re seeing more IR-equipped pedal options hit the market every month, but Chinese pedal co Flamma has launched the cheapest yet.

The FS07 Cab Simulation pedal costs $88, and comes with 11 onboard cab sims. We’ve got no idea whether those are any good, but there are seven slots to fill with your favorite third-party IRs (two per slot), and that’s the clincher here.
