Really great background music, first of all! Approaching GY!BE at around 5 min. - but still avoiding to freeze?? Anyway, please keep on putting 30 min jams out from time to time, sounds truly awesome!

If you play rock/blues/funk this will likely become your favorite reverb. Ambient players will love its sound but wish the reverb went a little crazier.

I picked up one of these a couple months back. What a killer sleeper pedal from Strymon. It's certainly not ambient-in-a-box with verb for days, but it sounds so great.

It sounds like a mature reverb pedal. Technically that s all you need for 95% of standard music from surf rock to metal. Who truely use wide and crazy shimmer effects for 2hrs ? Most of the time if you do cover gigs or classic rock songs, you will never use fancy reverbs. This pedal sounds perfect and is 100% solid. It s the "adult" pedal in my opinion. The one which knows what is essential and what is not for the big majority of people.

Antoine, do you run reverb into tremolo, or the other way around? Thanks for putting this together.

Reverb into tremolo!

@espercontrol7056 3 жыл бұрын

Just a question, can this one replace the bigsky for its reverb function? for all around genre? or if you do ambient tones you still need the bigsky if you have already have the timeline?

@dougc84 3 жыл бұрын

You can absolutely use the Flint. It's a nice combo pedal. However, even the longest reverbs on this pedal don't get anywhere near as long as those on the BigSky or the BigSky. You also don't have a lot of control over the reverb - you either love it or you don't. No predelay, only a simple tone knob, no modulation, etc. It's a popular pedal because it works great in pretty much any genre. If you're looking for just a simple box for reverb and tremolo without a lot of frills, it's awesome. But it can get into ambient territory. Heck, the last ambient track I did I used one. But, if I had my rig set up like Antoine's, it'd probably take place of the Immerse as an always-on before the BigSky. And, speaking of that, you can absolutely run multiple reverb pedals. Check out his video on his pedalboard rundown - he talks about why he uses two delays and two reverbs on his board. Whether you "need" the BigSky with the Flint is just a matter of what you want out of your rig. The Flint's reverbs are beautiful, the tremolo is fantastic, and it'll keep you out of the bad habit of maxing out a reverb and turning your sound into mud, since you just can't go into that territory. If you like its sound and just want more decay, or you want a different texture to keep loops sounding unique, you can always add on another reverb pedal (and one with different tonality/algorithms). It doesn't have to be the BigSky either - there are tons of excellent reverbs on the market right now, like the Walrus R1, Walrus Slo, Empress Reverb, or the Specular Tempus. But if you're getting a more feature-rich reverb, maybe you don't need the Flint at all. It's up to you.

@@dougc84 Hi, thank you for the detailed response. Yes I have seen Antoine's video why he used 2 reverbs and 2 delays for his setup. I have the immerse mk2 at the end of the chain and I was thinking about replacing it with my Flint with it. I am not sure if I am placing my flint correctly >>>Immerse Mk2 - Boss-DD8 - Iridium - Flint - neuron - etc. I was a little bit of curious of what Antoine said he wants to place the Flint at the last of the chain and I wonder how does that sounds. I am playing all guitar solo instrumental (all gain lead tones) and does not do ambient guitar. As of right now when I used the Flint for a reverb with my current setup, I find my solo tones a little bit of wobbly or muddy as you have defined above. My immerse mk2 does not do that to me now and im currently happy with it, I am just wondering if I place the Flint at the end of the chain will it have a different effect???? If so then i may dispose my immerse mk2 for this.

@@espercontrol7056 The Immerse has more control, and, unless you need tremolo, I wouldn't go away from it. You're not going to get a better sound, just a different one. But maybe that's the sound you want. However, if you're getting a muddy sound, you likely have too much reverb dialed in (either decay, mix, or both), or too bright of a reverb sound. You might want to also consider adding some pre-delay - it helps your playing stand out by delaying the start of the reverb. It's your call if you want to go with the Flint. You'd get a tremolo out of it, which is nice. But I dunno if it's *better*. Just different.

@@dougc84 Hi I just bought the stereo breakout cable and tested it myself. So far so good the muddy solo tones went away, but placing the strymon flint at the end of the chain makes my immerse mk2 unusable since it was overwhelmed by the strymon flint.

@aaronsanchez93 3 жыл бұрын

So I know your a big strymon person I recently got the big sky I also have the timeline and flint. Would you prefer to put the flint after the timeline then BS last? Or TL and BS then flint?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 3 жыл бұрын

I would do Timeline, BigSky and Flint last to get my tremolo to chop through the echos more! Only downside is having to use a stereo breakout cable with this setup.

No, you can only purchase a separate favorite switch, but it can't be done on the pedal itself since the 2 footswitches activate each effect separately. (same for the El Capistan)
