Flint is a no brainer. Pick one up second hand give it a whirl. If it is not your jam you will at least get back what you paid

Toying with the idea of picking one up too. I'm just a bit worried I'm not going to like digital reverb, meaning I essentially end up with a very expensive trem. I've got already got that base covered with a DR Scientist tremolessence which is crazy good!

Flint has 3 flavours each of trem and reverb. A picky man you would be to not find something that appealed to you.
My Flint is a 'job done' pedal. I have no reason to change it.

So it's a pedal with just standard trem and verb or am I missing something? It seems to be one of the most desired pedals on this forum for some reason

I've owned it twice and no longer own one now, tried to like it but wasn't for me

Almost never use tremolo so I can't justify. Although the other guitarist in my band got a Flint and I can confirm the reverbs are bloody nice.

Three types of term. Three types of reverb. Stereo input and output. Simple, but highly effective.

I had found the hype around Strymon very displeasing, sadly the Flint covers the usefulness yet is one of the few Strymon pedals to actually have character. The verbs definitely sound nicer to me than the Bigsky too.

Also, I didn't know I would genuinely use three types of reverb and three types of tremolo until I had the Flint. The '61 Harmonic Trem does a pretty convincing I Don't Trust Myself With Loving You tone. The '80s Hall Reverb gets me close enough to Wicked Game. I was expecting to sit on the Spring Reverb and Tube Trem the whole time, but not so!

I'm really happy with the reverb in the AC10 so pulled the proverbial lever of ignition upon one of these while prymaxe are doing 20% off:
