Strymon Flint

Post by Dano_NZ »

Thinking about getting into one of these, and moving on the Fulltone Supa-trem and TC Hall of Fame. Anyone get a lot of use from the Flint? They sound pretty cool online and I love the simplicity of the setup.

So much I bought an amp with Reverb and Trem and made it redundant

I only have one pedal it's a Flint, superb.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I prefer the sound of the Catalinbread Talisman for plate and their Topanga for spring. They sound so legit to me. Stymon stuff sounds more like a plugin to me, but is good and Flint is three reverbs in one pedal. For room space reverb I like the Keeley Abbey Road and how it goes for the sound of that studio's echo reverb chambers. it also sound very legit and reminds me of old records.

Flint is awesome....I have owned three but I keep looking at better? lol

The Fender in a pedal thing is great with the Flint but I have now gone to a TC nova system where I can get the same sounds I'm looking for with the added option of delays etc etc.

Yes I was and still am, we had a bunch of businesses up there. They all grew out of the space and we remained. Oh and they all became multimillionaires, I unfortunately didn't. Wow you remember the pick guard.
