The Flint Reverb & Tremelo needs no introduction — it's the perennial favorite giving you the classic amplifier effect duo, with 3 flavours for each (spring reverb, plate reverb, hall rack reverb + harmonic trem, tube trem, photo trem).
Pros:
- Two great effects in one, with 3 wonderful flavours each - sounds just as good as V1
- Compact (compared to 2 separate pedals)
- Midi capability
- Mono/stereo input switch on the back panel instead of inside
- Pre-delay added as live edit function
- Slower tremelo speeds possible than the older version
- Tap tempo on the trem switch
- JFET input
Cons:
- No separate knob for pre-delay (the other V2's did get a 6th knob!)
- Trem speed still not as slow as some other trems (like the JAM Harmonic Monk)
- Features are limited compared to dedicated effects pedals. This pedal is for those who just need some good no-frills trem & verb sounds, but don't necessarily want to control every parameter or have every sonic option.
Is it worth the 80,- EUR it costs more than the V1? I'd say that depends on how important a slow trem, tap tempo, pre-delay, and midi capabilities are to you. For me it was worth it to prepare my pedalboard for MIDI integration + have a more flexible Flint at the end of my signal chain.
