First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made its way onto countless records and performances — from early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns and film noir soundtracks, to modern day indie rock. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlint is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favourite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. Flint is essentially two pedals in one, with tremolo on one half and reverb on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom A Classic Era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003eFlint gives you the pulsating, soothingly hypnotic effects pioneered in vintage amplifier tremolo circuits, along with three classic and completely unique reverb algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tremolo side of the pedal you can choose between the sonically complex ’61 Harmonic Tremolo, the swampy and sultry ’63 Power Tube Tremolo, and the sharp and balanced ’65 Photocell Tremolo. On the reverb side you can select the classic ’60s Spring Tank Reverb, the inventive ’70s Electronic Plate Reverb, or the nostalgic ’80s Hall Rack Reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith nine parameters to tweak, you get extensive control over the tremolo and reverb characteristics.
