No, I ran into a Princeton reverb ri, I had some kind of dirt pedal in front of it, a dod 250 or a klone, I can't remember right now. —http://dinosaurghost.bandcamp.com/ |

Thanks for the demo. Nice sounds, but not drippy enough for me. I liked that plate verb though. |

Yeah, theres a little bit of a drip but you have to have it set up just right, If it wasn't for that issue id own one for sure. Merlin wrote: — http://dinosaurghost.bandcamp.com/ |

That's a great sounding pedal and actually a good deal because you are getting both a primo reverb and trem. IMO, the reverb sounds like a really good Fender Blackface in amp reverb...maybe better especially with the additional plate settings, ect. The trem is off the hook good and all in one convenient package. If you have an amp that doesn't have built in reverb and trem or an amp that has crappy verb/trem you can't go wrong. If you are looking for hardcore drippy surf reverb a good outboard tank is the way to go, especially if you primarily do surf but Strymon can get in the ballpark for a couple numbers.

I use my strymon flint reverb in combination with my tank. I use my tank for moderate reverb full time, and the parts that need extra drip I use the Flint set almost full on color and mix and very little decay. I promise you nobody will know that it's not a reverb tank giving the drip. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

I've been using this one for a couple years and I don't see myself building a pedal board without one in the future. I prefer the tremolo on the Flint because of the tap temp function. I highly recommend getting the tap pedal add on. |

Nothing to say about the Flint, but did want to say I LOVE THIS PHOTO! (If you get aged white knobs for the Strat, then the two will REALLY match! ) Samurai wrote: — Ivan |

Strymon is a top notch company and when my El Cap was blasted with 115V they rebuilt the entire thing for 80 dollars plus shipping. Any other pedal would have been thrown away. I have the surfy trem but not opposed to owning this in the future. —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

Masterful demo, Ryan, as usual! Chippertheripper wrote:
If it's gonna replace the ones you use for live performance, seems like a nice sounding all-in-one light solution. I'd still go with a Surfy Bear + Surfy Trem combo, just cuz... Last edited: Oct 19, 2017 11:14:42 |

I have both surfy units. They are not combo’d. Although they should be, I guess. |
