New Strymon Flint V2 Tremolo & Reverb Guitar Effects 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.

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. On the tremolo side 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. With nine parameters to tweak, you get extensive control over the tremolo and reverb characteristics, plus true bypass and a premium quality analog front end and output section.

Vintage Sound, New Features. 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. Tremolo speed can be synchronized via MIDI Clock Sync, and the sync setting can be saved for each preset. 300 MIDI preset locations are available for loading and saving your favorite settings.

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. Plus a new ARM DSP chip provides more processing power for every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption on your pedalboard.

Extended Control. The Speed knob range has been expanded to slow the tremolo down to nearly 1Hz at its minimum setting. On the reverb side, pre-delay time is now adjustable.

Tremolo Voices. The '61 Harmonic Tremolo gets its signature sound through a dual-band filtering effect that alternately emphasizes low and high frequencies, for a soothing pulse with shades of a mild phaser. The '63 Power Tube Tremolo utilizes the LFO to directly influence power tube bias, creating a boggy, dirty character. The '65 Photocell Tremolo recreates the classic photo-trem circuits found in mid-1960s American amplifiers, producing a hard-sounding tremolo reminiscent of a square wave.

Reverb Voices. The '60s Spring Tank Reverb is our faithful recreation of the full-size two-spring tank commonly used in vintage amps. The '70s Electronic Plate Reverb pays homage to one of the earliest digital reverbs ever created, with a rich, smooth character. The '80s Hall Rack Reverb is our rendition of the nostalgic digital microprocessor rack reverbs from the late '80s, with distinctive early reflections followed by slowly-building density.

Effect Order & Pre-Delay. An Effect Order secondary function lets you choose reverb-into-tremolo (like vintage tube amps) or tremolo-into-reverb (cleaner, modern tone), savable per-preset. Pre-Delay controls the delay time before the reverberated signal appears, also savable per-preset.
