Flint features a high-quality, dreamy tremolo effect with the shimmering tremolo circuits found in vintage amplifiers, plus three different reverb algorithms.

On the tremolo side, you can switch between the complex '61 Harmonic Tremolo, the earthy sexiness of the '63 Power Tube Tremolo, and the sharp and balanced '65 Photocell Tremolo.

On the reverb side, you can choose between a classic 60s spring reverb, an inventive 70s electronic plate reverb, or a nostalgic 80s rack reverb (hall type).


By fine-tuning nine parameters, you can control the details of the tremolo and reverb character. The sound making is really diverse, such as splash-like sparkle, pulse-like resonance, pulsating bluesy sound, ambient shimmer, gentle reverb pad, etc.

Each effect section has a true bypass on/off switch, and the input and output sections use high-quality analog sections.

Flint delivers some of the most legendary tremolo and reverb sounds in music history in a pedal format.

Strymon FLINT | Reviews and Reputation

I came across this pedal while looking for a tremolo.
You can choose from three tremolo modes.
You can set it to anything from a natural sine wave oscillation to a square wave oscillation that makes the sound cut off violently.

And while I didn't think much of the reverb when I first bought it, I've found it to be extremely useful. I rarely use the reverb on my amp, and I play with the reverb from this pedal on all the time.
You can also choose from three reverb options: '60s, '70s, and '80s. The '3s option is fun because it recreates the spring reverb found on Fender amps.

Strymon pedals consume a lot of power, so if you use a lot of pedals you may need to pay attention to the capacity of your power supply.

Sound House Than

I like blues and southern sounds, and I've been obsessed with tremolos, so I've tried ready-made ones, homemade ones, and modified existing ones, but nothing just felt right. For example, some had no attack at all, some were too eccentric, and some sounded too high-fidelity, even though they sounded like they were extracted from a vintage amp. This was a strange feeling!! It made me forget the feeling of it being an effector. It's not just about the volume of the sound,
 It feels like there is a different depth to it and the floating sensation is very comfortable.

Sound House Than

The impression I get is that both the tremolo and reverb effects and the dry sounds have little noise and are of high sound quality.
The tremolo has a natural and soft tone.
The reverb used is a long digital reverb, but it has a natural feel.
