Strymon Flint v2 packs a '60s spring, '70s plate, and '80s hall reverb, along with three distinct vintage-inspired tremolo effects modeled after units from the '60s and '60s. Tremolo modes include harmonic filtering, bias-modulated tube emulation, and photocell-based "pulsing." Connect an expression pedal or MIDI controller for flexible real-time control over parameters.

Front Panel Controls - Tremolo
TREMOLO
Switches between three tremolo modes�
‘61 harm: harmonic band filtering that alternates low and high frequencies for a hypnotic effect
‘63 tube: a smooth volume pulsing created by modulating the bias point of the output tubes
‘65 photo: a sharper-edged volume effect achieved by using a photocell and light-dependent resistor
INTENSITY
Controls the depth of the tremolo effect�
This is accomplished by varying the amplitude of the LFO that controls the tremolo�
At minimum position, the LFO is off and no tremolo effect is heard, but the signal still travels through the tremolo “circuit�”
SPEED
Varies the tremolo LFO frequency from slow to fast� The slow range is extended to give lower trem speeds than were generally available in the original, vintage offerings�
TREMOLO ON
Engages and bypasses the tremolo effect�
RED LED on indicates that the effect is engaged� Bypass mode is true bypass by default� See
for details� pg 3

REVERB
Switches between three different reverb types�
‘60s: full-size two-spring tank typical of those found on vintage guitar amps
‘70s: electronic plate that uses multi-tap parallel delay lines with filtered feedback paths
‘80s: studio digital microprocessor rack hall reverb with modulating delay lines
MIX
Controls the reverb wet mix from full dry at minimum to full wet with no dry signal at maximum� 50/50 mix is at the
3 o’clock position�
DECAY
Controls the duration of the reverberated signal’s decay� The ‘70s and ‘80s verbs will approach “infinite” decay at maximum�
COLOR
Varies the reverb tone from darker at low settings, to brighter at higher settings� This is critical for dialing in the sweet spot in front of a variety of amps�
REVERB ON
Engages and bypasses the reverb effect� RED LED on indicates that the effect is engaged� Bypass mode is true

• Channel 1 : GREEN (default)
• Channel 2: AMBER
• Channel 3: RED
• Channel 4-16: BLUE (requires 1⁄4" MIDI connection)
Once the TREMOLO ON LED turns BLUE , it will blink until the pedal receives a MIDI Program Change message� Once a message is received, the pedal will be set to the MIDI channel that carried the message and exit the power-up mode to allow you to begin using

Saving Presets in MIDI Mode
When in MIDI mode, the currently loaded settings can be saved to any of
Flint’s 300 preset locations at any time�
1 To enter Save mode, press and hold the TREMOLO ON footswitch� the
TREMOLO ON LED will blink BLUE to indicate that Flint is waiting to receive a MIDI Program Change message�
2 To save the current state of the pedal to the currently loaded preset location, press the TREMOLO ON footswitch�
OR
To save the current state of the pedal to any preset location, send the unit a MIDI Program Change on Flint’s currently selected MIDI channel� For example:
• Sending MIDI Program Change #10 will save the preset to the corresponding memory location on the pedal�
• To recall this preset, send MIDI Program Change #10 from your
MIDI controller or sequencer�
NOTE: Press the REVERB ON footswitch to cancel the save operation� pg 30

MIDI Specifications
MIDI Program Changes
Flint contains 300 preset locations, numbered sequentially from 0-299�
Because MIDI Program Change messages have a maximum number of
128 (0-127), the presets are grouped into three MIDI patch banks�
MIDI BANK 0 = PRESETS 0-127
MIDI BANK 1 = PRESETS 128-255
MIDI BANK 2 = PRESETS 256-299
0 Favorite setting (accessible via MiniSwitch)
for details�
1 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 1
2 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 2
3 MultiSwitch Plus - footswitch 3
127 Manual mode (“knobs”)
NOTE: Some MIDI applications and controllers start with MIDI Program
Change 1 instead of 0� In these setups, increment the MIDI Program Change locations above by one�
Flint always powers up in MIDI Patch Bank 0, so if you plan to stay within the first 127 presets, simply send a standard MIDI Program Change message to load a preset�
If you will be using MIDI Banks 1 and/or 2, it is advisable to send a standard MIDI Bank Change message (MIDI CC# 0 with a value equal to the
MIDI Bank#) before each MIDI Program Change�
Selecting bank 0, patch 127 will put Flint into Manual mode� In this mode, the pedal will be set to the current knob and switch settings� No preset data can be stored at this preset location� pg 31
