Product Overview
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 it s way onto countless records and performances—from early surf swampy bayou blues spaghetti westerns film noir soundtracks to modern day indie rock. There are certain things in life that just belong together—the blend of tremolo and reverb create the perfect pair. Given this storied history there was no doubt that Strymon wanted to develop a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. They carefully studied their favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in their hand-crafted algorithms. Flint harnesses the complete power of a SHARC DSP to authentically exhibit these details. Flint gives you the soothing pulsating and hypnotic effects that were pioneered in vintage amplifier tremolo circuits along with three classic and completely unique reverb algorithms. You get the sonically complex 61 Harmonic Tremolo the swampy and sultry 63 Power Tube Tremolo and the sharp and balanced 65 Photocell Tremolo. You also get the classic 60s Spring Tank Reverb the inventive 70s Electronic Plate Reverb and the nostalgic 80s Hall Rack Reverb. With eight parameters to tweak you get extensive control over the tremolo and reverb characteristics. Go from splashy pulsing twang to throbbing swampy blues all the way to ambient trembling and serene reverberated pads. Couple that with true bypass and a high quality analog front end and output section and you have yourself the history of tremolo and reverb in a pedal-board friendly format.
