STRYMON FLINT - it's a trem/verb, apparently

A color knob makes the whole flint - stone comparison increasingly plausible.

I still say it's a dual "Blackface" kind of pedal with one stomp for Trem and one for Reverb... and maybe Vibe in there.

because in terms of tremolo, depth and intensity are synonymous

Mix, depth, AND intensity? So if it's a phaser I guess mix would obviously be a blend, depth would be like the width of the wave, and intensity would be a feedback control or something? But then what would the color knob control?

Gah I just wanna see Strymon's demos already.

I doubt I'm going to get whatever this is, anyway, as I'm most likely not going to buy a digital phaser, and I have no interest in a tremolo or reverb pedal.

BUT I must say that I actually really like the revelatory thing that Strymon is doing to introduce the pedal... it's been fun trying to guess what it is.

frequency range, like the trim pot inside a Phase 100.

well, Strymon has apparently denied that it's a phaser on their Facebook page. the most recent blurred photo on their Products page looks like both foot switches are labelled "****** BYPASS" in two lines of type. that would imply a dual-function box, and makes me think that the reverb+trem theory is correct after all. meh.

To throw another pointless speculation in: perhaps the knob labeled "de..." is decay rather than depth.

or "DELAY." it's not as though Strymon hasn't made dosh off delays before.

if it has speed, it has a LFO. a LFO needs, at least for me, some kind of depth control...

Perhaps that's what the "intensity" knob is...
