I'm an electric guitar player, not acoustic, but I gave this video a thumbs up for the amazing playing and tune. :) As usual, Strymon makes a killer pedal.
Thanks for doing this demo with a Martin, Is there any chance of an acoustic demo with a big sky ? What are we hearing here in terms of signal chain ? Is the output of the DC-18E going straight into an interface into your computer , no compression or eq etc ? Thank you . cheers
We would love to do a BigSky acoustic video. Hopefully we can make that happen in the future. This video was going straight into the computer with no compression or EQ. Thanks :)
I love this unit it’s incredibly versatile and Sounds Mega on Anything you plug into it Acoustic or Electric, if you could plug a hairdryer into it that would probably sound great as well, and I hate the sound of a hairdryer 😆🤣… 😎❤️⭐️🌞👍🏻
I'm a little confused by the video. Are there presets? The way you labeled the different tones makes it seem like it. But I don't see any on the pedal.
+Anthony DeVito - There are actually no presets (aside from a Favorite preset you can store if you have a Favorite Switch). Otherwise, these settings are manually set with the knobs on the face of the pedal for use during performances.
You can sorta dial a delay based reverb with the DIG, but it would not be the same as you still would hear the dynamics of the initial delay repeats before it smoothes over. The El Capistan cannot provide the lush verb from that example. Flint, blueSky, and BigSky are best suited for creating a reverb sound like the Flow example.
Unfortunately we didn't note the tunings for these clips, I asked Matt who appears in the video and he said "Seems like mostly standard tuning, but that last tune sounds like some open tuning. Each player may have changed tuning from time to time regardless of which guitar they were playing. I might have tuned the low E down to D a couple of times but mostly played in standard tuning for those recordings."
Both Flint and blueSky offer lush reverb sounds that can be used for ambient, airy guitar tones. Which is better is really up to the player, but recommend checking out our demos or playing both to make a decision.
Please stop making these demo's every time you do one I have to buy another Strymon, already bought the BlueSky the DIG the Ola and now the Flint as I play Electric and Acoustic - Joking apart they are worth every penny. Strymon make the best pedals by far. People comment on what a a great guitarist I am I am only very average it's the pedals that make the difference. PS I do play clean as well.
The FLINT is a wonderful pedal. I use it all the time.
Just got a flint. Absolutely amazing pedal, so many good tones to be found.
Great helpful video with lots of wonderful settings suggestions for acoustic ... and that's why I got this pedal. Thanks!
Brilliant!
Bought one for my acoustic setup where I play with two female vocalists. Can't wait until the next gig to try it out.
Just ordered mine a few days ago. Any day now. In love and FIENDING!!!
Was on the fence till i saw this demo. Ordering now. Something i could definitely use on my acoustic board as well with my electric rig
This swung it for me. Gotta have the Flint!

That is so nice to hear. Thank you!
I’m an acoustic guitar player. Come to our siiiiide.
im in love with the Oceanside preset! 😍😍 great video tho mate :)
Sounds great!
Thanks :D
Love the song at 2:05. Makes me wanna buy flint and bluesky. 😁
Thank you Jay! It was such a pleasure to have Rogerio Peixoto demo for us.
Me too! Anyone know what song that is?
Hi Matthew, That was something that Rogerio came up with for the video :)
Hi Matthew! I shall develop that embrio into a full song for the next record. Thank you!
Sold. Sounds great!

Debating Flint V1 or Align Reverb (LR Baggs) for my acoustic
All comments welcome
steps all the way
is that good for fingerstyle?? thanks ! Or any suggestion? I'm a beginner for using this stuff :)
Yes, definitely! You can see examples of fingerstyle playing in this video at 0:10, between 1:10 to 4:18, and at 5:50.
thanks !

Any chance of doing something similar with the Riverside as well or both?
Unfortunately I can't say what is or isn't in the works. I will definitely pass along your interest for this to the team, though :) Thanks, Angela

1:44 !!!!
To make the flow sound would the dig and el captain work ?
You can sorta dial a delay based reverb with the DIG, but it would not be the same as you still would hear the dynamics of the initial delay repeats before it smoothes over. The El Capistan cannot provide the lush verb from that example. Flint, blueSky, and BigSky are best suited for creating a reverb sound like the Flow example.
Hi Guys, i would like to know which Tunings were used for both Guitars !
Unfortunately we didn't note the tunings for these clips, I asked Matt who appears in the video and he said "Seems like mostly standard tuning, but that last tune sounds like some open tuning. Each player may have changed tuning from time to time regardless of which guitar they were playing. I might have tuned the low E down to D a couple of times but mostly played in standard tuning for those recordings."
I'm confused, which one is better for ambient airy guitar tones this one of the Bluesky?
Both Flint and blueSky offer lush reverb sounds that can be used for ambient, airy guitar tones. Which is better is really up to the player, but recommend checking out our demos or playing both to make a decision.
I'd go for the flint
If you wanna many ambient efects blue sky... but flint has tremolo and a beauty 80’s reverb that make that one special!
aguante Rogerio!
Fedeeee!!!!
what's the signal flow?
is it done in post or live?
Hi, It was Martin acoustic > Flint > audio interface :) Thanks!
whats the second song called that you played?!
Hi, Pete was improvising :)
strymon
okay, thanks!
Sounds great. Was that a Fender used for this and all the Acoustic demos?
Hi Paul, No amp was used. Acoustic demos are Martin guitar > pedal > recording interface. :)
