Strymon Flint Tremolo & Reverb

Strymon · pedal

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.
