Who owns one/has owned one? Did you keep it, sell it, why?

I have one and probably won't get rid of it anytime soon. Shit just sounds classy as fuck

i liked it when it had it. i sold it because i don't really jive with trem and although the reverb was nice i preferred my RV-3. also i generally put reverb before dirt and tremolo after, consider signal chain if you haven't already.
'classy' is a pretty good descriptor. sounds pretty pristine and tailored to conventionally 'useful' sounds (like every other pedal they make) but still nice. perfect for surf and jazz, works well with any instrument you put into it.

I had one and sold it. I thought the 70s/80s reverb settings were awesome, which can be fun in a straightforward way, or by getting freakier at maxed decay settings. The spring reverb just never sounded right to me though, which is what I was mainly wanting and therefore why I ultimately got rid of it.
The trem is really the star of the pedal to me--so many good options, all of which sound great. For me though, it was just way more than I needed. I now use a Subdecay SST for spring sounds (also cool hall function), and a TR-2.

I'd love to give a Flint a spin. I'm pretty well set on spring verb with my Premier tank, but I could dig having a few other options, and I'm a big fan of the harmonic trem.

I sold mine. I replaced it with a Neunaber Slate v2. I just couldn't get the verb in the Flint to sit in the mix where I liked it. I would love to get a BigSky, but I don't have the pedalboard space.
