The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Blackcap is a dual asynchronous harmonic tremolo combining a simple three-knob analog tremolo with a more complex digital harmonic tremolo in one pedal. The analog side offers classic amplitude tremolo with rate, depth, and volume, ranging from slow sways to fast chopping. The digital side is a tap-tempo harmonic tremolo that crossfades between highs and lows rather than just modulating volume, with five selectable waveforms including sine, triangle, square, saw, and reverse saw for lush swells and synthy pulses. A series/parallel toggle lets the two run into each other or side by side for complex, asynchronous choppy textures, with volume boost on each side, expression control, ramp mode, and relay bypass. It suits vintage, ambient, and experimental players wanting tremolo from classic to far beyond.
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.
