right..... now I'm wishing I didn't sell my Flint. I've gone through 3 x RI reverb units, 3 x Boss FRV, 3 x Topangas and the Flint - they all have + and - The Flint could work just as well as any of them for what I do, plus the tremolo is great. I don't need full on surf reverb, just the reverb vibe and ambiance about 1/3 of surf reverb. |

Do any of you know if there’s a dip switch or otherwise to flip the order so the trem is first and reverb last?? |

Yes, there's an entire hidden menu on that pedal. Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

If you can be patient they come up used fairly often. Have fun... —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

The more I watch the Flint demo, the more I think it's the best overall reverb pedal out there. The Flint may not quite do drippy wet outboard unit surf but the 60's setting is like the best in-amp spring reverb but with much more flexibility and tonal variation and the 70's and 80's settings are excellent also. Combine that with the killer trems and vibratos, it's actually a deal at 300.00 . I do find it odd that no one has nailed the drippy, wet, surfy sound in a pedal ......yet. The Topanga gets fairly close and the Boss '63 gets the drip but there are just too many other issues with it. I put my money on Strymon to nail the surf drip without the digital issues one of these days. |

Hey guys, I love my Flint, but don't overlook the new guy in town.... http://www.surfyindustries.com/ I happen to know a US distributor is being readied for launch very soon. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Last edited: Dec 31, 2017 11:11:11 |

The reverb has an internal gain on the SB. The trem does as well. |

If you are obsessed with having a true surf drip then seriously consider the surfy bear. But if you just need the convenience of a decent reverb and tremolo in one pedal, then the Flint is the one. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

I have come to the conclusion that my assembly of the Surfy Bear reverb sounds a bit better than my Fender reissue unit. I use my Fender unit away from home for rehearsals and gigs while my SB reverb remains connected in-line with my home practice/songwriting demo setup. Lorne Last edited: Dec 31, 2017 12:46:33 |

If you’re reasonably handy you should just order both surfy kits, and put them in the enclosure(s) of your choice. You’ll save a boatload that way. |

I had ordered the Flint a few weeks ago and just before it arrived I took my Surfy Trem off the board to rearrange a few things. I then plugged in and something was missing in a big way. My tone and drip was less pronounced. I don't know what Bjorn did to create the circuit but it's a must have as far as I'm concerned. I want the Flint in a bad way but I sent Fed Ex away with the Flint. Someday I will get it but I can't justify the price right now and the Surfy Trem does a great job. The Flint has so many great features it just seems like a must have pedal for all genre's —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |
