New Flint Audio Examples | Strymon

[@muse-mech-moda]

Oohhhhhh Sean Halley - I have not seen him play for a while. It's great to see him back playing this marvelous pedal.

[@Gage409]

excellent playing as always Sean!

[@elkhanagaev4172]

Have a Flint now for 2 weeks, AMAZING! And this video is AMAZING!

[@Santa_Klaus_Guitar]

The flint is by far my absolute favourite pedal!

[@BrenQ99]

Right? That and a Blues Driver is all you need.

[@carnivaltym]

And a Klon Klone.... ❤️

[@bitcoinman9202]

@@BrenQ99what about compressor

[@MOAB-UT]

Is the Trem better than the Boss TR2? I tried that the other day at GC and it was nice. Everyone raves about the SupaTrem. I bought one and was not crazy about it. Returned it.

[@eugenebatiste]

How much for Sean Halley? Like can we package him in the strymon pedal boxes and have him in the corner of our homes doing demos as soon as we come home from work? That man can play a guitar (the multiple genres at will)! #sold

[@jonaszdabrowski]

Absolutely stunning playing and tones. Thank you!

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Strymon killin it. Save up your spare change and get any of their line, you will instantly sound amazing. Can’t say that about most pedals.

[@JeremyEllington]

Amazing demo. Tasteful and inspiring.

[@B_rendan_G]

This needs more likes, what a great demo!

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

Just got my V2 Flint today, always regretted selling my V1, so glad this came out 👏🏼💯 thanks strymon.

[@strymon]

Enjoy your new Flint! :)

[@shckltnebay]

How you like the spring?

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

@@shckltnebay I really like a subtle Spring so it's perfect for me but if you crank the mix up it can get pretty wet, not loads of drip but again perfect for me, sounds incredible as always 💯

[@shckltnebay]

@@AndrewMooreLearningLicks i have the old one just got the UA golden today

[@AndrewMooreLearningLicks]

@@shckltnebay can't wait to get a go of the UA pedals they sound great to.

[@carnivaltym]

That reverb is to die for!

[@turksanchez]

I wish there were more examples of just the verb by itself. Never heard the plate by itself at all. Killer pedal.

[@turksanchez]

... circling back. Got the flint yesterday. Love it. Great plate too. Prob order dig today. Live my iridium.

[@ivolime]

@@turksanchez you should make a video showing your favorite sounds! im hoping to get one this month and im really curious about it

[@turksanchez]

@@ivolime moved on to the UA golden. Flint is great and I've still got the dig and iridium but prefer the golden for reverb.

[@ManicMaximus]

It would have been cool to see an expanded use of the USB-C like a power supply/digital mixer where the first Strymon pedal does the A/D conversion and the signal remains digital until the last Strymon pedal which does the D/A conversion.

[@carnivaltym]

That sounds.... very interesting, but I didn't understand. Can you expand on that please? Thanks! What becomes possible?

[@dkijc]

@@carnivaltym So I think what he means is all digital pedals need to do Analog to Digital conversion. So instead of going through AD/DA and going to another digital that does AD/DA conversions and so on it would be awesome to pass audio through usb-c through all the strymon pedals and only have the last pedal in the chain do the Digital to Analog conversion. In turn less degradation to audio signal. Interesting indeed but not sure if it's worth the effort for strymon from ROI perspective :).

[@carnivaltym]

@@dkijc Ahhhh! I SEE! That's a great idea! Thanks.

[@SupertGTR]

That's "a major award" winning pedal there...and lamp.

[@Foskey83]

Thanks for the demo! Definitely picking one up!

[@druwk]

If were going to a sound sculpted MIDI board, I would think about a V2 for sure. The Flint, by far is my most used, and favorite pedal. I don’t use all the functionality of the V1. I switch up the Trem/Reverb before songs if I need a different color. This post is making me want to explore it more! Great Tones!

[@JohnCarroll]

I have a Flint V1 which I love...BUT it has a a slight interruption in signal when turning the tremolo off. Has this problem been fixed with V2?

[@Zoso_1990]

Southern Rooms, yes, yes, again, yes. Brilliant. Thank you.

[@DD-dq4ym]

Have the reverb and trem algorithms been updated or are they the same as v1.? If the trem can get more throb and the spring reverb has better drip and natural trails I am definitely upgrading. Great playing!

[@shckltnebay]

NO

[@stephenlennartz3466]

Perhaps the BEST pedal sound demo of any kind I've ever seen. Jimi and Southern Rooms have my full attention. It would be nice to see how you set up the other pedals used in this demo ... but geez... amazing! I was looking for a simple trem to order. Fortunately, I found this. Next on my list to order!! 😎🎸👍

[@shckltnebay]

EXCELLENT JOB fantastic sounds. If this just didnt have a strange spring echo to the 60s setting It would be perfect, im looking for a true spring sound pedal but wont be selling my Flint

[@bernarddoherty2303]

The Source Audio True Spring appears to be the consensus best spring emulator

[@shckltnebay]

@@bernarddoherty2303 Not to me

[@bernarddoherty2303]

@@shckltnebay that's the sad thing about a consensus; it doesn't necessarily agree with your personal opinion (or mine since the UA Golden seems to be giving source Audio a run)

[@shckltnebay]

@@bernarddoherty2303 just got the F-stop has a nice drip and liking the spring sound better then the Flint, Topanga or the True spring

[@dgl1012]

Hell yeah, sounds great guys !

[@erickaymusic]

@strymon Damn! I just got a new Flint! I might have to upgrade! Do these new ones still have analog dry through? Also, when you guys upgrade Nixie (as the main release video stated), will you be able to use it to edit on other pedals like Compadre, Sunset, etc?

[@jackppursel]

Hoping for this as well

[@strymon]

The idea for the new version of Nixie that we're working towards is to have it function with all of our USB or MIDI-enabled pedals.

[@erickaymusic]

[@Jesusburger]

That "Wheel Drive" "Telecaster is wild! Anyone know the model?

[@strymon]

From Sean: "The 4 Wheel Drive is a custom guitar that luthier Lynn Wheelright build for me in 1991 or so, but it was stolen and broken into a bunch of different pieces 25 years ago. I got the pieces back soon after, and LA-based luthier Greg Back glued it back together in 2019 and made it even cooler. The back of the guitar looks like Frankenstein got hold of it." Hope this helps!

[@paulrhodesquinn]

@@strymonwhat a great story! It looks awesome and sounds wonderful with your playing. I bought one of these pedals recently and love it to bits! I’m a keys player and run my Rhodes Mk1 through it.

[@RPSartre01]

The jimivibe is awesome.

[@sevendblackjem]

Great playing and demo! 🎸💯🔥

[@BaronsDuju]

Does the spring reverb have drip now?

[@sandyturner1911]

I'm curious about the Version. What is the difference between V1 and V2? Is it just the ability to use MIDI? I love my V1..I am finally learning how to get all the goodness out of it. Your video is the thing that sold me. It just sounds so damn good! Thanks!

[@troy8420]

Trem speed can go slower, pre-delay can be changed on reverb now, external switch to go from mono to stereo, MIDI, apparently the reverb sounds brighter

[@TheElrondo]

Still nobody found the Drip? Is it working for Surf music? I'm still on the search for a Trem/Reverb combination for surf sounds...

[@iamkeebz]

Please tell me y'all didn't do all this updating and still didn't add drip to the spring... please tell me I'm wrong...

[@christopherrusch]

Seymour duncan lipstick pickups?

[@ryanslauderdale]

@strymon I have a question. Can you control the Flint’s MIDI from a Timeline, by using a MIDI/EXP cable between the two pedals? I mainly want to use it for tap tempo and possibly preset scrolling.

[@strymon]

You can use a MIDI EXP cable to transmit MIDI to Flint, yes. If set correctly, you can make it so that when you scroll presets up/down on TimeLine, Flint will also go up and down its corresponding presets. That being said, it will not generate its own clock to send to Flint. If using a dedicated MIDI controller to control both, TimeLine will relay incoming MIDI clock however. For more details on setting this up, please email [e-mail] - thanks!

[@internalmethods]

HELP...NO STEREO MODE. I changed the internal pin and everything. I even tried D.I. by itself and I get some stereo from the reverb side...none on the tremolo channel alone. Anyone have any idea what it could be?????????????

[@strymon]

Hey there, please shoot us an email to [e-mail] and we'd be happy to help!

[@oaeoeaoRust]

Super stuff thanks! What’s that Mosrite looking guitar? Great sounds.

[@YMESYDT]

So, still no stereo tremolo?

[@strymon]

Well, Flint is stereo and has tremolo :) If you want something with a stereo offset between left and right then check out Mobius :)

[@YMESYDT]

@@strymon That's what's on my board now!

[@peteglase]

I need this in my life...

[@guitarpedalhub]

Anyone know the maker and model of the guitar used on "exotic springs" that sounds like a sitar?

[@strymon]

It is basically a copy of an old Coral electric sitar. I hope that helps!

[@janjahnke6432]

I only wish the tremolo was stereo with a panning mode.

[@lapk78]

Completely agree. I'm currently comparing the Flint, Fender Tre-verb, and Keeley Hydra, both of which are stereo panning tremolo. I'll keep the one I like best and return the other two.

[@orzalai4121]

What's the other pedal he's using in the exotic springs?

[@strymon]

No other pedal, that's just the sound of that instrument. It's an electric Coral sitar!

[@ksharpe10]

9:03 is such a great sound. The pitch shifting vibrato, to bad in the demo he did not slow it down, magnatone Amps have this true vibrato in the twilighter series amps. It is really Quite different. This video shows more of the 65 photocell, kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4bIYYJ9iKd0sNU

[@horstdunoch3546]

Hi there!! I'd like to know if the trem is panning in stereo..?? thank you beforehand!!

[@horstdunoch3546]

on the "short waves" example it seems to, but only on that example and I'm not entirely sure because it's fast.

[@strymon]

It does not, sorry about that. Mobius, our flagship modulation pedal, does however have stereo panning for tremolo.

[@thewickedwizard]

So are the secondary functions still the same on this version??

[@strymon]

Obviously we're all slammed today because of the launch, but you can find all of the manuals here - and if you don't find what you need we'll get back to you soon. www.strymon.net/support/

[@thewickedwizard]

@@strymon Magic. I literally just ordered my first strymon (a Flint) a couple of weeks ago. Now I know why it is taking so long. Totally worth the wait.

[@maxcreed]

Beautiful sounds ! I got the first version that I love but I don't like the factory pre-delay setting on the 70s & 80s reverbs. Could you tell me if we can reduce the pre-delay on the new version ? Or just increase ? (I saw the manual and it said, when the pot is on 0, it's the default setting... I don't know what to understand.) Thank you very much !

[@NintenDub]

Damn I wish I had the cheddar for even just one Strymon pedal. You guys make great stuff, I've never had the fortune of actually playing anything from your company which is a shame cuz I'm in full support, and it doesn't seem that there's a single Strymon item that isn't full quality

[@drdre4397]

The deco would be my choice if I could only keep one. I hope you get to a point you'll be able to buy some of the stuff you want.

[@joshuajohnson4935]

I hope you get a chance too. I know it was hard for me to cough up that kind of dough for a pedal but….it’s worth it. Strymon is the best, imho.

[@zacharystarcher1836]

Someone please tell me the name of that psychedelic 3 pick up tele he is using; I need it

[@strymon]

Hey there Zach - Sean here - both of those Tele's were custom made in collaboration with the luthier Lynn Wheelright (who is kinda like my second dad and one of my favorite people) almost thirty years ago now. The Tweed has been with me the whole time, but The 4 Wheel Drive was stolen and broken into many pieces 25 years ago, and I just got it back after Greg Back (co-inventor of the Buzz Feiten Tuning System and another great luthier) rebuilt it in 2019. Hope that helps!
