The Flint Tremolo / Reverb is an incredible dual pedal from Strymon. Used separately or in conjunction, both the Tremolo side and the Reverb side have many different functions and tonal possibilities, all running through a supremely-built and gorgeous looking enclosure, which also happens to be true bypass.

Along with the usual Speed and Intensity control knobs, the Tremolo side features a 3-way switch where the user can select from 3 distinct modes of tremolo, all based on different ’60s tube amp circuits. The ’61 Harmonic mode produces an almost phaser-like sound, the ’63 Power Tube brings a bit of a dirty tone to your signal, and the ’65 Photocell shows a two-layer soundscape, somewhat harder and edgier than the others. All 3 are beautiful in their own ways, and allow for hours of fun twisting knobs and flipping switches to find out what sound will work best for you.

On the other side, there are 3 classic Reverb types as well, also selectable via a 3-way switch. The ’60s Spring Tank will remind you of the reverb sounds from vintage amp of that decade. The ’70s Electronic Plate gives a nice nod to the first digital reverbs using multi-delay lines. And the ’80s Hall Rack shows the awesome sounds produced by the digital rack processor sounds we’ve all heard on countless albums from that time period. Again, so much fun to sit and play with all the configurational possibilities, and you’re pretty much able to dial in any reverb sound you’re looking for…not necessarily with ease, but you’ll have a great time experimenting!

I love the Expression Pedal option as well, for controlling whatever knob you want (I use mine for the Tremolo speed, and it adds such versatility to my playing). You also have the option to flip a switch internally and use a TRS splitter cable to run this thing in Stereo, which I assume will produce some great bounce-back tones from a two-amp setup. While this little guy is a bit pricy, the sounds you get are worth it, and the slew of options make for endless sonic soundscapes. Once you play the Flint, you may not ever need another Tremolo or Reverb pedal again!
