Great reverb, ok tremelo

The Flint is a modern classic and its reverb settings are superb, the tremolo however leaves something to be desired mostly because all three tremolo settings are not true stereo but the harmonic tremelo doesn't measure up to a dedicated pedal such as the Jam Pedals Harmonious Monk. The only reason I didn't get that pedal is because it is mono only but since the Flints tremolo is more of a wet-dry effect than a true panned stereo effect the comparison seems valid... Strymon has now released a V2 version of this pedal but I don't think these issues were dealt with. For V3 I would like true stereo tremolo and an option to pan the high and low harmonies of the harmonic tremolo. But until then this pedal is staying on my board!

Get it already!

Awesome reverbs paired with lush tremolos. This is the perfect Strymon pedal in my opinion: studio-level quality yet simple to dial sound. Rather than providing you with a lot of presets, like its other brothers do, it gives you the vibe of an era packaged in a small enclosure. If you are looking for few great reverbs to give your sound context, you are at home here. It can also handle some spacey and ambient reverbs, with some little tweaking, but in that case you will find more options with the BigSky or the BlueSky. The tremolos are fantastic and organic. There is the option to switch position from the classic reverb into tremolo to tremolo into reverb and some additional hidden features to enable trails and managing boost levels, tap tempo and expression pedal. All in all it can be described with just one word: Inspiring!

Fender amps in a box

I won't go into all the details of what this pedal can do, as it's actually a very well rounded device.

I will say though, that it is one of my favourite piece of gear. It has a kind of magic that is rare to find. 30 seconds twiddling knobs will find you a great sound, no matter what you are looking for. It does sparkly, crisp tremolo, smoothly modulated moody swirls, short twangy 50s sounding sloppy reverbs to hugely, majestically sweeping ambient sounds that will have you hanging off your fretboard. The three voicings for each side mean you can dial in any sound you can think of, with ease. One of my favourite amps is a late 60s fender vibroverb and this pedal nails that sound perfectly. And it's digital so you don't need to have the worries of tubes and tanks. Almost maintenance free and so versatile. Use the colour dial to make it work with any amp and rig.

The case is maybe a little dull and if I had to be picky I'd say the buttons could be a touch closer, to activate both sides with one click (really picky - it's doable) but otherwise a fantastic pedal and expandable with a secondary switch for preset recollection.

Will always be on my board.

Awsome, Usefull and Trippy Pedal

The Strymon Flint Tremollo and Reverb an awsome pedal that I had the pleasure to acquire. Very well made and durable shape, very smooth switches. Super usefull pedal that gives you a lot of possibilities each of the pedal's function are very diverse and with the right time and creativity you can sound incredibly awsome with this pedal. Ps: the functions of this tiny and powerfull box go beyond than the name really says ( Tremolo and Reverb ) using the 80's Verb and the right settings you could almost kind of an ambience delay The Expression pedal just makes this little baby even more cool. The Stereo output is a good tool. One of the ways i use the stereo output for is for using distinct channels of my 46 YO Fender Pro Reverb activatin the amps tremollo on a completelly diferent speed than the speed settinngs on the Flint so, i make king of a crazy pattern tremollo. Awsome!!! Just got it today and discovered a lot of stuff. PS: If u use well the 61 harmonic tremollo you can get a kind of univibe tone. No regrets!!! If you can afford it, get it

Great sounding, lot of options. And two effects that really make sense to put together

I will admit, I bought this because it is also used by Mike Kerr, and replicating his sound is one of my pet projects. But at first I was simply not interested in this pedal, feeling like reverb and tremolo were not that important. Well, as I expanded my musical horizons, the ubiquitous utility of these 2 effects became more obvious to me, and I realized that I did not want to rely on having those effects coming from my amp. And I actually started searching for separate pedals when it finally dawned on me that I already knew the exact pedal I wanted. The last step was convincing myself to pay the uber-premium that this pedal demands, even used... But at the end of the day, I realized that I simply would not be happy with anything else. And the pedal delivers with tons of tasty reverb and trem options. I would've liked even a few more technical options (e.g. square vs sine for the trem) and the price is still hard to swallow, hence the 4 stars. But it definitely gives me the consistent and musical sound(s) I was looking for in a single enclosure, so it's still a huge thumbs up.

Almost perfect- but missing one element

This is a solid 4.5+/5 star pedal. The tremolo settings are dead accurate. The 70s and 80s reverbs are very well designed and executed. The only issue- not just with mine but with a big consensus of Flint owners- is that the 60s "Spring reverb" setting is missing the "splash" that you hear on a Fender blackface amp with the reverb turned over 5/6. Many people claim you can't get "drip," but turning down the decay to 9 o'clock and turning the mix to o'clock should do the trick. If it weren't for that splash, I'd give the Flint a perfect 5/5.

Mind blowing.

This pedal needs no introduction, very popular.

Pricey it may be, but worth every cent.

The tremolo options cover pretty much all the Tremolo I am ever going to need. I am a fan of vintage fender circuits.

But it is the reverb options the Flint offers that do it for me. Try it and you will buy it.

no wonder these things are dear...

money. we all want it, work for it and then reluctantly spend it on things we find we have to own at some point or other. I paid £249 for my flint but if I had to pay the full asking price of £299 (usually) I would in a heartbeat. the reverbs are incredible. especially the haunting 80s one. the trem is super too. simple as hell to dial in and small enough to fit on any board. this is going no where, and if it broke tomorrow id easily sell one of the kids to replace it.

As amazing as advertised!

Everything that can be said about this pedal has probably already been said, but I will add my thoughts: All of the sounds from this pedal are incredible! Plate and hall reverbs are probably my favorites. Some people say that they wish the tremolo speed could go even slower, but I haven't needed that yet.

Fantastic reverb pedal for the money

Coming from digital circuits, out of all my newer analog pedals, this is my absolute favorite when compared to the kind of reverb sounds I was getting from my amp, multi fx unit, and DAW plugins a priori to getting this. The 70s mode provides the perfect atmospheric vibe for Pink Floyd type sounds, while the 60s mode has helped me achieve John Mayer and Eric Clapton type reverbs.
