Flint V2 : Is the update worth the money?

2 years ago

Excellent pedal, the quality of this product is astonishing. I happen to have the 1st version too, so these are my conclusions after comparing the two:

* The reverb side is pretty much the same, plus adjustable pre-delay. It's a good addition, but not a game-changer. Also, I think it's a bit brighter.

* The tremolo side can go slower, which is pretty important for certain stuff. The light blinks in sync, so now you can tell the speed visually too.

* Midi is now available, which is a game-changer if you use it.

* The Mono/Stereo switch is now on the outside. In v1 you have to unscrew the bottom and move a little connector to different poles if you want to go from Mono to Stereo.

In conclusion, worth the money difference only if you use Midi. Otherwise, they're both amazing pedals, pick one.
