Great tremolo, ok reverb

everything is great, except the spring reverb. If I A/B it to my princeton 65 reissue's spring reverb, it's not quite as good. Trem is great though, even compared to the bias trem in the princeton. Harmonic trem and 80s hall reverb is amazing in particular.

Very good, but not quite enough for my needs

This is a very popular pedal. Most people who buy it end their search for tremolos with the Flint. Not me. The overall quality is good. Everything is top notch except that it's not built as a tank. It feels a little delicate, in lack of a better word.

It's packed with features, stereo in/out (through special cable), expression in, secondary knob functions - it's all there. Three lovely sounding tremolos and three lovely sounding reverbs.

So why did I send it back? The lowest speed on the tremolo was too fast for me. This was a dealbreaker for me.

It sounds like a Strymon should.

You will find a lot of information about the Flint online. Most of it is objective, but literally everyone likes this pedal!

They are expensive, as are a lot of 'boutique' tremolo pedals these days so think twice if you really need both a tremolo AND a reverb in one.

Only consider the Flint if you need al the functions. Which is a lot for a relatively small package.

In my opinion the tremolo sounds superb, I control it with an expression pedal to make it more useful and 'more musical' on stage. The reverb sound isn't amazing at all. If you're using a always on reverb please consider a amp with a built in reverb tank. If you're using a lot of big experimental reverb sounds there are better and more diverse options for you.

I use it mainly for the tremolo but love the option of a reverb on my board whenever I'm stuck with a different amp without built in reverb!

Overall an absolute killer product wich will stay on my board for a long time!

One of the best pedals on Earth.

Has everything in the tremolo, reverb department you might ever need. Expression control is a massive added extra. Amazing pedal.

Amazing

Easily the best reverb unit I've owned. I even prefer this to my H9!

Best reverb/tremolo on the market

Great sounds, very adjustable. Love the harmonic trem and infinite decay options. Used to use my Princeton's reverb, but don't really bother anymore since I have this.

Brilliant little box with great sounding trems and verbs

This pedal is one of the best in its class. A trem and reverb in 1 pedal. The trem has 3 different modes and the all sound really really good. The verb goes form 60's spring to 70's plate and 80's hall. If you set the decay knob really high you get these infinite reverbs great for ambient stuff. This is a pedal you can't go wrong with, its easy to use and you simply can't get a bad sound out of it. Love it!

This combo effect is a great match, the reverb is always on when i play. the controls are very simple and effective.

Pros: the footswitch is very lightly no hard "clack" sound, the option to get a stereo sound and also enough options of which reverb sound you want as well for the tremolo. the sizing is also ideal and just a 9v to power it.

cons: would be the price but it is definitely worth it.

i recommend it for any reverb and tremolo enthousiast, it gets the job done in a reliable way

The best pedal for ensuring quality reverb and tremolo at any gig or recording situation

With the Strymon Flint one never needs to look for another tremolo or amp-reverb again. It's a very convincing simulator with a great sound, easy handling, and many features. Put it at the end of your pedalboard or in the loop of your amp and never look back!

Although it's quite pricey I think it's worth the money. It works great with all instruments and covers all my needs. The reverb can even get quite ambient and the tremolo quite "trippy".

Highly recommended if one can afford it.
