It's Strymon flavoured, I've been very naughty

Is Srymon the brother of the bloke from LOTR?

gusman2x · January 2014

Does it happen to be blue and cost over £400?

Doh corrected.

It's grey and cost considerably less on the classifieds.

Brigadier? If so, thank you. I was getting dangerously close for a moment.

ThePrettyDamned · January 2014

Congratulations. You have won all the tone.

monquixote · January 2014

Tis a Flint so you are still at risk!

Also if you are thinking about the Brigadeer I know BluesyDave to be a decent bloke.

stickyfiddle · January 2014

Timeline? Jealous if so.

Have you been watching Andy Othling? He's made me desperately want a Flint and a El Capistan...

Nope haven't seen him, but I'll check him out.

This is how my board looks now.

It's getting close to perfect.

Had a very brief go with it this evening.

The spring verb is brilliant and probably what I'll use most of the time.

The 80's verb is extremely cool and can do some nice ambient shimmery stuff when you crank it.

Didn't have as much time with the plate, but it seemed decent.

The valve trem was exactly what I was looking for. Probably the nicest trem sound I've had. That makes it a keeper as I use loads of trem.

The photocell is a lot harder edged. Probably better for the "What's the frequency kenneth" type stuff. Probably not something I'll use a lot.

The harmonic was definitely the joker in the pack as it's really unlike any trem I've ever heard it's more like a phasey univibe type thing and I can imagine using it quite a bit for some "No Quarter" type sounds, or some organ style comping.

My overriding thought was just how nicely it sits in the mix. It really blends well without sounding artificial in any way.

lovely, I have one

mine's set to tube (Bias) trem, and spring like you say.

Lovely tone too

EricTheWeary · January 2014

This might be 2+2=5 but organ style comping got me thinking Danny Gatton and he was a harmonic trem/ brownface Fender user I think.
There is another recent discussion on here on harmonic trem and to get a good dedicated pedal to do that is circa £150 , so that Flint is paying for itself already. Sort of.

monquixote · January 2014

Yeah I'm not sure I'd bother with any of the other Strymon pedals considering the size and cost, but I use loads of trem and I was already planning on buying a HoF so it really wasn't such a daft idea once you factor in the Harmonic mode being a pretty good vibe.

Branshen · January 2014

4CM or no?

monquixote · January 2014

I don't even have an FX loop!

Deijavoo · January 2014

I got one a couple months ago, absolutely delicious. Although if I ever get a Mobius I'll likely trade it for a Blue Sky.

monquixote · January 2014

I've been using it today.

The big surprise is that it might also be my favorite phaser. The phase trem is the sound I've always wanted, but never got from most phasey / vibey things.

Howdy, Stranger!
