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 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 we wanted to develop 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 harnesses the complete power of a SHARC DSP to authentically exhibit these details.

From a Classic Era.

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 pedalboard friendly format.

Features

Expression Pedal Input

This multi-function input can be configured for use with an expression pedal, external tap tempo footswitch, or Favorite switch.

Set up for an expression pedal and you get assignable expression control over any front-panel knob parameter.

Set up for an optional external tap switch and remotely tap in your tremolo speed.

Set up for our optional Favorite switch and save a favorite preset.

Individual Bypass

Separate bypass footswitches allow you to bypass the tremolo and reverb individually.

TRS Stereo

We know that there are some out there that like to run stereo rigs.

This is why we’ve added the option of running your Flint in stereo.

Flip a jumper inside your pedal, use a TRS splitter cable, and now you’ve got yourself a stereo pedal.
