Nearly every professional pedal board I see on YouTube etc. has a Flint on it.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I like the Flint tremolos a lot -- they're the best I've heard in a pedal. I don't use the reverbs much. Big Sky/Neunaber can do all that and more (and they sound better). Flint's reverbs are also a bit boomy when you turn them up a bit in the mix and I find it hard to find a sweet spot.

I agree that it's hard to find the sweet spot with the reverbs. A little more adjustability would be nice.
