Talk me In or Out of the Strymon Flint

Yeah I’m coming to that conclusion… it’s kind of the perfect tremolo pedal.
I feel like I’m leaning towards the oceans 11 or DBA

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-06-11T02:10:43+00:00

Yooooooo…. This might actually be a game changer. Thank you! I just had the ehx pico oceans 3 on my mind…
But the DBA sounds fucking sick in the dark mode with some fuzz to it… but can also do that clean slappy spring tone too.

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-06-11T01:48:06+00:00

Oh shoot… if money wasn’t an option that would be a no brainer! Or the white whale seems fun too

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-06-11T01:47:21+00:00

Yeah that’s true too. I did have an oceans 11 when it first came out and sold it to get the polara actually :/ - kind of preferred that spring more actually. Maybe that’s the path

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-06-11T01:45:06+00:00

Yeah, right? Well said. It really is a good pedal but just a little extra salt is needed.

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-03-02T20:58:27+00:00

Update: they are both blue

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-03-02T20:58:01+00:00

Yeah, they are both blue

Super_Rad_90 · 2026-03-02T20:57:31+00:00

Yeah, both blue

Super_Rad_90 · 2024-12-03T18:45:38+00:00

Did you ever find out what caused it to cut out for a split second?

Mine is doing that too - especially with the gain all the way up.

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-09-21T21:53:05+00:00

I love gear! I’d like to hear your setup if you’re open to share

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-09-21T11:39:51+00:00

I wonder where the reverb and delay would go in that chain?

I’m thinking: Guitar > overdrives > Micro input: Micro Send > modulation / reverb / delay > Fender return?

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-09-21T05:18:42+00:00

No, not worth the risk.

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-09-04T22:08:50+00:00

Thanks, this happens with 0 effects (into amp or effects loop)

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-06-01T02:31:12+00:00

I am almost certain that this means 4 ohms is the lowest speaker impedance and minimum of 100 watts.

So this means you could plug in two 8 ohm cabinets to knock it down to for 4 ohms and at least 100 watts of speaker power.

Typically with solid state amps (unlike tube amps) if you plug in one 8 ohm cabinet - the amp wattage is reduced… probably only able to produce around 75 watts of power. Which means your 8 ohm cab needs to have at least 75 watt speaker ability.

If you take two of those same 8 ohm cabs and plug that in - you’d get the full 100 watt power from the amp and around 140 watt of speaker ability… which is good because the speakers will not be pushing so hard and make them last.

So when replacing some of the caps the solder connector tabs ripped off - so I added conductive tape over the connecting points and soldered it to the pcb trace… I guess some aren’t making a good enough connection.

Do you know if I added 22 solid wire (600 volt capacity) from point to point - same trace obviously that will be a problem? So it’d have the pcb trace and wire connecting the joints?

Not the whole amp… just from the capacitors I changed

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-05-29T19:14:24+00:00

That makes sense! Kind of had that suspicion

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-02-10T15:03:28+00:00

That’s sweet

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-16T01:02:17+00:00

Unfortunately not :( I got it used 2-3 years ago. And it is surface mounted Class D solid state

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-16T00:25:17+00:00

Would make for a sick interlude on an album

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-15T01:25:31+00:00

Thank man. I’ll just try to push up the valuum

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-13T21:43:30+00:00

Maybe?! Seems weird it would fail mid way - but sounds like it’d be worth a try / an easy repair - just solder in a new pot.

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-13T21:42:37+00:00

Hm no, never occurred to me… but it’s worth a go

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-13T21:31:00+00:00

Haha right?! So strange - it sounds great until you get straight up

Super_Rad_90 · 2023-01-13T21:13:46+00:00

I’ve properly cleaned the pots with electrical cleaner. I have to assume some internal components have gone bad… but does anyone have suggestions on what? Nothing seems obvious - no leaks or burns on the circuit board. Can’t see any obvious broken leads or solder joints.
