Lol...a theme here.

I just like plate reverb, so the 60's mode was never going to appeal. I thought the 70's and 80's modes would be great, but I just not remember being impressed. I would try one again, and maybe love it. That's the thing about gear - it's silly to not give any piece of equipment time to grow on you. I thought the POG2 I bought, then sold the same night, sucked as well, but then I bought a Micro POG a few years later, and I enjoy it. So a second play through a Flint could be a completely different experience.
Free the Tone Ambi Space AS-1R is my favorite reverb pedal.

Re: Gear That Everybody Seems To Love But You Don't
The only reverb of the Flint that I truly think I haven't heard better is the 80s (room). I use it all the time and think it sounds fantastic. But that's for solo loop stuff (especially a percussion track), I can see how it'd be less than useful in most environments.foal30 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 8:48 amFree The Tone make great equipmentJoeBlow wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 8:52 pmYeah I'm muting notes and unintentionally producing pinch harmonics with those little things.

There is no denying the popularity of the Tube Screamer so I doubt you will have any trouble selling it. It probably just won't be me buying it.

EHX Grand Canyon? Strymon Dig?
Don't talk to me about failure; sometimes I even fail to disappoint myself.

I've come to hate any piece of gear that takes more than house party volume to sound good.

I went to some awesome house parties back in the day, The Mall in Stockton had a great house night.
Oh, you don't mean that sort of house party?
