This has to be the best reverb pedal I've ever heard. in each of the three settings the fact that it has a fantastic trio of tremolos just makes it even better.
Andy, I'm very disappointed that I don't see you getting full name recognition, at the very least, in each of your demo videos!!! You, ARE an AWESOME Guitarist, and ought to get your proper acknowledgement for your work, here!!!! That said, I love this effect, and , I had recently bought a Strymon BigSky Reverb emulator because of your demo work on that device! Thank you Andy, and Strymon, for your wonderful collaboration, performance, and products! "BRAVO!!!"
The absolute best trem/reverb pedal I have heard. I remember being in a studio of a highly acclaimed engineer a few years back and he randomly pulled this pedal out and said “Here. Im patching this in. You don’t like it too bad” (he was joking lol). We were floored.
This is why I subscribed to this channel years ago. Spot on review and demonstration of music gear. Not to mention Andy's excellent taste in song choice. Thank you so much for making these videos.
I couldn't take it anymore. All those years Strymon reviews, demos etc. haunted me on the internet. Seemingly everywhere I went music-related somebody had to say how amazing Flint is. Destiny? :) Today I've bought it. And it's every bit as sweet as everybody say.
I really liked this pedal as soon as you started playing. When you ended the video/ demo with Buckets of Rain I lost it. Meaning I really loved it. Thanks for all you do and for all you give. INSPIRATION.....
That's a lot of reverb nice sounding great playing as always. Bob Dylan Blood on the Track buckets of rain. My favorite Dylan album.. Buckets of rain. Buckets of tears. Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
I have been using the Strymon Flint now for a couple of years and I have to say that it is the ONE pedal that I would keep if I HAD to ditch my collection of a dozen or so. The only setting that I don't really use is the '65 Photocell Tremolo. I personally don't find the choppiness very appealing at all. It has its place for sure in the right song/atmosphere, but for me I just don't find it very musical. And I guess the styles of music I play just don't lend to that harshness. The '61 Harmonic and 63 Power Tube are very sexy and are very smooth and musical. ALL three reverbs are phenomenal! The spring could be a little more drippy but that's a pretty minor complaint. If you need Tremolo and Reverb pedals look no further!
it might be time to sell my strymon blue-sky and mad professor mellow yellow tremolo for this tone beast, it's got everything I want in both reverb AND tremolo, genius...
While he's talking? I didn't see him play anything while talking but before he first starts talking he plays the CCR version of Heard It Through The Grapevine on the Tele, then after he talks the first time he plays Thirty Days In The Hole by Humble Pie on the Les Paul. Is either of those the one you're wondering about?
You actually are going to want to have the trem AFTER your delays, as with reverb- 9 times out of ten it’s going to be preferable to have the trem after the reverb also, but the Flint lets you swap the order if need be, so you’re going to want to place this dead last in your chain (unless you’ve got a looper- that would go last then). This is because the tremolo is modulating volume, which will make delays sound strange and dirt pedals to sound like their gain is being turned up and down... hope this helps a bit
Buckets of Rain! Nice. I'll probably figure it out but I'd like to know if there's any access to tap tempo after the expression pedal is plugged in, or is the external button the only way?
Where in the chain do you think the Flint works the best? Typically I run reverb at the end and modulations at the beginning, so where should you run a pedal that does both?
I was excited to get one of these, but ended up selling it after a few weeks. While the effect itself is quite nice, I didn't care for the way my tone sounded through the pedal…. even in bypass mode.
The Flint can be used either way. There's an internal jumper to change the default mono input to TRS stereo. I don't think we've ever seen a strictly stereo pedal come in. Usually if there are stereo outputs, the left out is designated for mono. Thanks!
I have to unsubscribe of this channel very quiiiiiiiick !!!!! I don't specially like tremolos and now i want to get a Diamond Tremolo , a Strymon Flint , a Supro Tremolo , plus a Strymon Deco and many moooooooore just because Andy has golden fingers ! I'm sure I will be disappointed of the result when i play those pedals

I wonder if this statement is where he decided to go with Reverb and start his own Andy Demos in the future?
Thanks for that bit ‘o Peter Green!
a friend of mine has this pedal and it's absolutely mind-blowing how GREAT it sounds.
everything sounds perfectly natural.

You won me over completely when you played Albatross
It's like plugging into a deluxe reverb. I love it.
My favorite non-dirt pedal of all time.

the clarity is amazing
Proud owner! My favourite pedal ever!
Andy is the most diverse guitarist out there. Everything from Creedence to Nirvana and everything in between.
So... rock.
(Just kidding, he is great)
I really liked this pedal as soon as you started playing. When you ended the video/ demo with Buckets of Rain I lost it. Meaning I really loved it. Thanks for all you do and for all you give. INSPIRATION.....
bassman3834 Agreed, a tasteful rendition.
Andy is magic on the tele.
Ray Polakovic , as on the radio 😂😂😂
it really does
That was a killer demo. Loved the last song whatever that was. I love that you demo'd a Strymon even if I don't understand why.
Buckets of Rain. From Dylan's Blood On The Tracks.
That's a lot of reverb nice sounding great playing as always.
Bob Dylan Blood on the Track buckets of rain.
My favorite Dylan album..
Buckets of rain. Buckets of tears. Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
I really like your demos a lot. great explanations of the product.
Thanks so much!
bonus points for playing albatross! what a killer tune.
I heard it through the grapevine that this pedal is awesome!
Robert Noble Music ü
Love it!!! 🤣
AWESOME TONE!!!!!!!!! This unit IS ON MY WISH LIST!!!!
1:17 the Goldeneye chord lol

Great pedal. Great Player. This Strymon will never be an Albatross around your neck. Keep up the fine work, Andy.
If you play "roots" rock - the Strymon Flint, El Cap, and Deco are some of the very best pedals you can get.
Agreed. Those three pedals are the Strymon trifecta for me. I love the Deco. Awaiting the Flint in the mail. El Cap will come later.
buckets of rain!
@ 3:40...Fleetwood Mac! Albatross...just beautiful
Nice James Bond videography, appreciated that
Nice bit of Dylan at the end
Love that 30 days in the hole by Humble Pie
Catched it too. Awesome
@@julesromeuf3140 *caught
I love the Humble Pie reference 🤘🏽
Another great demo. Thanks Andy. Im a pedal head and proud of it.
Albatross sounded incredible
Finally!! Strymon a review by the pros :D
i could listen to andy all night long
You are the best Andy!!!
it might be time to sell my strymon blue-sky and mad professor mellow yellow tremolo for this tone beast, it's got everything I want in both reverb AND tremolo, genius...
always a pleasure. well done
i really like the song in the beginning when hes talking
Me too. It's on a few of his videos. I've been dying to know what it is for literally years now!
While he's talking? I didn't see him play anything while talking but before he first starts talking he plays the CCR version of Heard It Through The Grapevine on the Tele, then after he talks the first time he plays Thirty Days In The Hole by Humble Pie on the Les Paul.

"Buckets of Rain", very nice.
30 Days in the Hole. Nice touch @ 2:54 !
Last song riff is surely the best. "Buckets Of Rain" by Bob Dylan. It's a sweet diddy.
not big on pedals but THIS THING IS FANTASTIC
.... BORN ON THE STRYMON!
albatross! beautifully played
dude. grapevine and 30 days in the hole? solid demo
Wow!
About time you demoed this thing. I am already selling mine.=P
5:24 on is beautiful. Great tone.
Hot diggity! Just bought one. Can't wait to try Buckets of Rain and Band of Heathens Hurricane.
Love the zoom in to the ring. "I'm married girls and boys." This is a great pedal.
'60s spy movie homage :)
I Have one all time favorite pedal
Come for the demos stay for andys playing
This would be great if you were in a surf rock band
great pedal :), very nice playing ;)
3:00 what was the overdrive used??
But where would this go in the pedalboard? I’d want tremolo before delay, but reverb after delay.
You actually are going to want to have the trem AFTER your delays, as with reverb- 9 times out of ten it’s going to be preferable to have the trem after the reverb also, but the Flint lets you swap the order if need be, so you’re going to want to place this dead last in your chain (unless you’ve got a looper- that would go last then). This is because the tremolo is modulating volume, which will make delays sound strange and dirt pedals to sound like their gain is being turned up and down... hope this helps a bit
albatross!
Tess Parker got super excited when I heard it too
I believe the ALBATROSS by Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green- the "Original Fleetwood Mac"
damn fine tone!!!
Very well presented : Great playing :)
Strymon Flint or Fender Tre Verb?!? ..... Lots of people looking for the Flint in the Ontario used market.
Which song is at the opening? First 15 seconds?
Sounds like 'Shakin' All Over' by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates... ua-cam.com/video/n327ncoU_ZU/v-deo.html
Is a Leslie pedal too? sound's like one
Buckets of Rain! Nice. I'll probably figure it out but I'd like to know if there's any access to tap tempo after the expression pedal is plugged in, or is the external button the only way?
PETER GREEN!!! Killer!!
What amp were you using? Sounded great!
Probs a deluxe reverb
which song is the first 20 seconds?
Sounds like 'Shakin' All Over' by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates... ua-cam.com/video/n327ncoU_ZU/v-deo.html
@@brndgtl no, it's not.
Francesco 018 I said it sounded “like” not that it was
@@brndgtl ok. It's Marvin Gaye.
Francesco 018 take a nap
Is there any volume drop when you engage the tremolo?
oddfellowfloyd looks like the secondary function lets you boost your signal to compensate
That Buckets of Rain rendition.
Where in the chain do you think the Flint works the best? Typically I run reverb at the end and modulations at the beginning, so where should you run a pedal that does both?
Does anybody know where to find tabs for "Buckets of rain", played like in this video?
+Max P ya... its open E ... you can find it on dylanchords.com
Thanks for the great demo. Does this have stereo in as well as stereo out? I only see the single input. Thanks!
Yes you need a stereo 1/4 to two mono to utilize it
What's the name of the last song in Open G?
Boss Fan
Buckets of Rain by Dylan, on Blood on the Tracks album.
Henry the Twooth Thanks!
Boss Fan Actually it's Open D.
what is the first song? thanks!
Heard it through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye
30 Days in the hole, Humble Pie @ 2:54. SWEET!
I was excited to get one of these, but ended up selling it after a few weeks. While the effect itself is quite nice, I didn't care for the way my tone sounded through the pedal…. even in bypass mode.
What's the first song?
*****
Thank you very much!!! =)

Originally sung by Smokey Robinson, written by someone else.
Chris Spedding!!
Is the Flint capable of mono in and out or is it strictly stereo?
The Flint can be used either way. There's an internal jumper to change the default mono input to TRS stereo. I don't think we've ever seen a strictly stereo pedal come in. Usually if there are stereo outputs, the left out is designated for mono. Thanks!
Does this mean PGS is going to start carrying Strymon products? Or is this demo just because?
PS - The Flint is definitely one of my favorite combo pedals ever.
+Adrian Medriano I also wish I had the money to buy this pedal as well.
4:22 that was some Pink Floyd type shit
Please, make a lesson of "I heard it through the grapevine"
I want to love this pedal but something isn't quite right for me tone wise. I think I prefer the Moog trem.
Tone is dependant on many other other things not just this pedal.
Malekko Spring Chicken sounds more natural to me for spring preset
4 min song?
I think the third chord in Grapevine is supposed to be a G7. Sweet demo!
Can anybody compare this pedal to the Harley Benton Split Screen?
Albatross
the peter green tone was good..
30 Days In The Hole~~
Can I connect it to a click or drum track so the trem keeps the same speed throughout the song and exactly on the beat?
SORRY; YOU ARE RIGHT!As I wrote too quickly.
TOMMY.. /5643
Take my money
ALBATROSS!
Sorry, THAT'S "I HEARD THRU THE GRAPEVINE"
TOMMY...
Am I watching cats 101?
