Strymon Flint V2 – Tremolo And Reverb Effect Pedal
A Perfect Gentleman
Flint pays homage to the magical combination of tremolo and reverb – the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made its way onto countless records and performances.
From early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns and film noir soundtracks to modern day indie rock, this effect has been monumental. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.
The Strymon Flint V2 is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. The Strymon Flint V2 is essentially two pedals in one, with tremolo on one half and reverb on the other.
From A Classic Era
Flint gives you the pulsating, soothingly hypnotic effects pioneered in vintage amplifier tremolo circuits, along with three classic and completely unique reverb algorithms.
On the tremolo side of the pedal you can choose between the sonically complex ’61 Harmonic Tremolo, the swampy and sultry ’63 Power Tube Tremolo, and the sharp and balanced ’65 Photocell Tremolo. Similarly on the reverb side, you can select the classic ’60s Spring Tank Reverb, the inventive ’70s Electronic Plate Reverb, or the nostalgic ’80s Hall Rack Reverb.
Further, With nine parameters to tweak, you get extensive control over the tremolo and reverb characteristics. Go from splashy, pulsing twang, to throbbing, swampy blues, all the way to ambient, trembling, and also serene reverberated pads.
Finally, with true bypass, and a premium quality analog front end and output section, you have the history of tremolo and reverb in a pedalboard friendly format.
Vintage Sound, New Features
Our second generation Flint gives you the same gorgeous tremolo and reverb sounds from our original and adds new features. Incorporating technological advancements, hardware improvements and design enhancements, Flint give you additional flexibility and power.
Hardware Improvements
In addition, a premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness to your playing. Furthermore, you can select mono or stereo input with the flick of a rear panel switch.
And finally, a new ARM DSP chip provides more processing power for every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption.
