Strymon Flint V2 Tremolo & Reverb Pedal

A Perfect Gentleman.

The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is 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. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.

Flint is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. Flint 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. 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.

Vintage Sound

Our second generation Flint gives you the same gorgeous tremolo and reverb sounds from our original and adds significant new features, incorporating technological advancements, hardware improvements and design enhancements to give you additional flexibility, power, and ease of use on stage and in the studio.

MIDI

Full MIDI implementation means you can control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Flint’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection.

Hardware Improvements

A premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness to your playing, and you can select mono or stereo input with the flick of a rear panel switch.

Extended Control

The Speed knob range has been expanded to slow the tremolo down to nearly 1Hz at its minimum setting.

61 Harmonic Tremolo

A Unique Rarity.

The ’61 Harmonic Tremolo is somewhat rare due to its very short period of availability in tube amplifiers in the early 1960s.

It gets its signature sound through a dual-band filtering effect that alternately emphasizes low and high frequencies.

63 Tube Tremolo

Totally Tubular.

The ’63 Power Tube Tremolo utilized the LFO signal to directly influence the power tube bias of the amplifier’s push-pull output stage.

65 Photocell Tremolo

Get To The Chopper.

The ’65 Photocell Tremolo is a faithful recreation of the classic photo-trem circuits found in mid-1960s American amplifiers.

Those classic circuits used a light-dependent resistor (LDR) to attenuate the input signal, coupled with a miniature neon bulb that is connected to the LFO.

60s Spring Reverb

Sixties Surf.

The ’60s Spring Tank Reverb is our faithful recreation of the full-size two-spring tank that was commonly used in vintage amps.

The two-spring tank uses spring segments of differing delay times, which adds to the complexity of the reverberated sound.

70s Plate Reverb

Sound Of The Seventies.

The ’70s Electronic Plate Reverb pays homage to one of the earliest digital reverbs ever created.

The astounding hardware-based algorithm used multiple delay-lines configured in parallel, with each delay featuring multiple output taps and filtered feedback paths.

80s Hall Reverb

Totally Eighties.

The ’80s Hall Rack Reverb is our rendition of the now-nostalgic digital microprocessor rack reverbs from the late ’80s.

The limited processing power of the day led to the implementation of efficient regenerative series loops of all-pass filters, delays, and low-pass filters.

Effect Order

Switch Things Up.

Flint gives you options for both with an Effect Order secondary function that lets you choose exactly how you want your reverb and tremolo routed for ultimate tonal control.

Pre-Delay

Add Some Space.

Pre-Delay controls the delay time before the reverberated signal appears, and is now accessible as a Live Edit secondary function, savable per-preset.

MIDI

Limitless Possibilities.

Our new generation of Flint features full MIDI implementation, allowing you to control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Flint’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection.

JFET Input

Analog Touch.

Uncompromised dynamics and feel.

Exceptional touch sensitivity and responsiveness.

Flint feels just as good as it sounds, thanks to a high impedance ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET preamp input.

True/Buffered Bypass

Choose Your Bypass Mode.

Flint lets you choose electromechanical relay switched true bypass for a 100% untouched, unprocessed signal when the pedal is bypassed (this is the default setting), or you can opt for our premium quality buffered bypass that conditions your signal to preserve its integrity by preventing the high end roll-off that can happen due to longer cable runs.

Stereo

Moving In Stereo.

No need to make compromises when it comes to signal routing or pedal placement — Flint features full stereo in/out capabilities.

Line/Instrument

On Another Level.

Pedals aren’t just for guitarists. Flint’s adjustable input signal level makes it a versatile tool for endless applications from the studio to the stage.

ARM Processor

Power To The Pedal.

Significant developments in mobile phones and computers have led to an evolution in technology that now allows our pedals to perform more simultaneous processes with less power draw than ever before.
