Strymon Flint 4-stars Reviews

Great reverb, not for me

if youre a fan of normal style reverbs, you will absolutely love it

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!

Strymon Flint - perfect for tremolo enthusiasts

I bought the Strymon Flint to help recreate certain rockabilly sounds for a band I play with. Usually I would opt for the boss pedals which are easier to navigate and setup and which retail for about a third of the price. Despite that I decided to try the Flint as I had heard good things about it. This decision was justified big plus I feel.

The Flint offers great control over all aspects of your tremolo sound and with the reverb it's basically a 2-in-1 pedal which will free up foot print space on your pedalboard (a big plus if, like me, your pedalboard is already running out of space). After some experimenting (this may take some time but is well worth the effort) you will be able to achieve sounds to suit all kinds of genres. The Strymon website is also loaded with tips on settings to help you get different sounds.

The one slight negative is that, as mentioned previously, it is a slightly harder unit to operate but if you persevere you'll be able to unlock a wealth of sounds.
