Flint V2 Unboxing and Midi Control

Todays video is a full unboxing and setup of Fint V2 by Strymon.
Before this video I had never played a single note through the V2, hadn't read the manual, and didn't really know what changes had been made other than some obvious additions of midi, USB, Stereo / mono toggle etc.
I go through what you'll need to do to set this pedal up for midi, some basic CC commands and troubleshooting.
If you want the RJM file I used in this video, just comment (or email me) with "I need the file" and I'll send it to you! [e-mail] for the quickest response.
What can we do better next time? What did I miss? Let me know!

Great info, thanks for the upload!

[@openup007]

Great Video... enjoyed the overview. I liked the FLINT v1 and can't wait to explore the options w/ v2. Pete (Strymon) said in a recent Strycast (episode 2) covering all the v2 pedal updates that they did NOT mess around too much with this much loved pedal other than adding MIDI and a few other enhancements (e.g., no extra knob added).

[@GoodwoodAudio]

I need to check out that ep2! I honestly was never a huge Flint fan but realised after this vid I never gave it a proper chance... it's a great pedal

[@seal-nowweretalking6753]

Great and very informative review. Thank you. I’d like the file please.

[@GoodwoodAudio]

this is a bit embarrassing, but i've search everywhere and can't find it! Been a while since I've had to get this file. Sorry about that.

[@DirtyMikeTM]

does your Flint in and out go to the mastermind send return? where does midi go to an exp pedal, or switch?

[@GoodwoodAudio]

Yes for the send/return. Midi can go to a midi splitter (like morningstar Midi box, strymon conduit etc).

[@DirtyMikeTM]

@@GoodwoodAudio Thank you

[@bireli91]

Hey, can you guys please help me? I am planning to get the Flint v2 and I'm wondering if I could use a Disaster Area DMC Micro to change between at least 3-4 presets by setting the 2 footswitches on it to step up and down between saved presets. I hope someone can help me 🙏

[@GoodwoodAudio]

I don't see why not! You should be able to check out the manual for the Micro and figure out how to make this happen before you even buy the micro itself. They aren't too difficult to set up. Just make sure you get the right midi cable! Strymon sells these.

[@lelespedroBR]

Is there a way to save a favorite preset in flint? the same as it is done in el capistan? and how is it done??

[@GoodwoodAudio]

you can save a fav, yes. The user manual goes through this step by step!

[@lelespedroBR]

I already read the manual and i coudnot

[@GoodwoodAudio]

@@lelespedroBR You will need an external fav. switch and TRS cable - plug in to the midi jack on flint v2. Then follow the steps on page 17 in the flint v2 manual, once that's done, set the pedal to the preset you want to save, hold the trem ON switch to save.

[@lelespedroBR]

@@GoodwoodAudio thanks man

[@LysanderLH]

8:00 mins is where the playing starts for those of us who don’t read the instructions.

[@tmbrwn]

lol, I thought the point of this video was to see how midi control works?

[@LysanderLH]

@@tmbrwn midi is for the people who treat making music as a technological feat, instead of an expression of feeling.

[@shakesquire84]

@@LysanderLH what an edgy viewpoint.

[@bumbum4592]

What guitar player wants MORE pedals; just put 3or4 presets thats about all most people use ? Who want 200 presets!

[@GoodwoodAudio]

I don't disagree... but people buy based on what they THINK they will use, not what they will actually use. Aspirational purchases rule all. haha

[@birdsteak9267]

Depends on what music you like, I already oushing through 6 pedals and it took me forever to get a setting that now terrifying to disconnect in fear i never find it again....

[@sheephills510]

Suggestion, review some of your Vertex video statements. They didn't age well and have damaged your credibility. For example, you guys made a comment recommending high gain pedals should be placed before lower gain pedals. Really? Do yourselves a favor and at least make some disclaimers. I enjoy your show only with a grain of salt. Is this acceptable to your effects company? If so block me or whatever. Peace!!!

[@GoodwoodAudio]

Sorry.. a little confused. Do you mean Chairmen Of The Boards? Or this YT channel? Low gain before high...high before low. Both are used very commonly. It's a personal preference depending on how you run your rig, pedals used, amp choice, amp FX Loop being used or not... Many factors play into what is going to be 'better' for the player.
