Flint isn't sterile couldn't vouch for the others though.
Kinda agree with some of this, could never get a really lush authentic sound out of the Bluesky but really like my Flint.
I've owned a Neaunaber before which was great but not any better than the Flint IMO.
Haven't spent enough time with a Bigsky to develop an opinion on the "sterile" nature of it.
As a guy who traded a Big Sky for a Flint (but got a Big Sky later anyway) - there's something very (dare I say it) warm/lush/just damn lovely about the Flint. Big Sky, though, is a massive does lots of other stuff machine if you want to wander off the track. I've heard great things about the Topanga, too, but it doesnt have Trem
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...
I like the idea of a Flint, but then I play my M9 and hear what to me is pretty good reverb, and pretty good trem (especially in Opto mode)....and add another pile of really good sounds and the $ just don't stack!
Get an M9!

Thanks for all the replies. Trying to avoid anything with wee LCD screens and dials and menus. Just want to set something and leave it there (ish). Liking the Flint demos.

Check out the Neunaber Immerse pedal... It is lush, huge sound and super easy to use
The Neunaber Immerse is an amazing pedal and full of features but not a hand shandy it would be up your Ally Molly. The Wampler Faux Spring would be my recommendation for a no fuss reverb .
Seriously though. If you have a Two Notes, then you want to try adding reverb in your DAW (or live monitoring). Cranked power amps will distort and compress reverb, which is okay for spring reverbs and is a sound heard on record a lot. But to make it sound like it is recorded in a larger space etc, you may want it added post after the microhone (or mic sim) sends it to the mixer
As an alternative I can 100% vouch for the Red Panda Context reverb. No weird shit, no modulations, just a huge amount of very usable reverb in a variety of flavours. You've got knobs for dry/wet, size, high end roll off, and delay before the reverb starts.
Awesome pedal, about $300 on reverb.com (where I got mine).
