The Dophix GALILEO Optical Tremolo is an optical tremolo pedal from the Italian boutique effects manufacturer Dophix, using a light-dependent resistor for smooth, transparent amplitude modulation with natural, musical tremolo character. Optical tremolo circuits produce gentle, rounded tremolo sweeps associated with vintage optical tremolo designs. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo in keeping with the Dophix Renaissance-art design theme.
The Strymon Flint is two classic effects in one pedal, pairing three vintage tremolo voices with three vintage reverb voices. Its tremolo side recreates a 1961 harmonic tremolo, a 1963 power-tube tremolo, and a 1965 photocell tremolo, while the reverb side offers a 1960s spring tank, a 1970s electronic plate, and an 1980s hall rack. The result moves from gutter-tough noir moods to sun-bleached surf to time-and-space-stretching ambience with a few tweaks. The tremolo is warm and organic, with the full, tube-like 1963 mode and the sloshy, warbly 1961 harmonic tremolo standing out as among the best harmonic trems available, while the reverbs are lush and intoxicating. Convincingly analog-sounding despite being digital, it suits surf, indie, blues, americana, and ambient players wanting beautifully voiced vintage tremolo and reverb together in one box, even winning over analog purists.
