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

Re: I think I want a Flint
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!

Re: I think I want a Flint
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.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

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

Re: I think I want a Flint
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.

Re: I think I want a Flint
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!

Re: I think I want a Flint
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:
