To answer your specific question I would go for the Flint.
So, the Flint in front of a lovely sounding amp (that you can hear) sounds amazing.
I also had a DOD Looking Glass, thought it was ok but having changed it for a Peacekeeper about a year ago the Thorpy pedal is miles and miles and miles better. Miles. Just better quality.
The Rubberneck sounds fun, never tried one.
The Rubberneck is fun, I messed around with the oscillating repeats yesterday and got what sounded like a banging dirty techno tune, crazily good.
Tried numerous delays and reverbs but ended up with Peacekeeper - M.E. Black Moon - El Capistan - Dig - Flint.
The Strymon pedals are just brilliant at retaining your signal cleanly, it's a joy just playing a simple reverb and tremolo through the amp.
As far as I could tell the Julia didn’t have the high end grating of some digital chorus pedals but it is another chorus pedal and there are a lot of much cheaper ones around.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
The demos of the Julia do sound great, but I also have a Gemini and GASsed for the Julia for weeks. I got a limited edition Julia shipped over from the US (I really don't like the standard graphics). Waited ages for it to arrive and plugged it in fully expecting to love it. Played around with it for 20 min and although it sounded good, the Source Audio could do that type of chorus as well if not better than the Julia, and has so many other great sounds besides. The only thing it can't do as well is vibrato, nevertheless the Julia went on Reverb and sold within 10 minutes.
My current favourite tone is War on Drugs; I see that Adam G uses a Strymon Flint. I also want that classic fender amp tremolo/reverb sound. Been looking at the strymon pedals for three years, it’s time to get one.
@fuengi that Yerasov amp looks great for that price. How is it at house volume?
The guy who sells the Yerasov amps new is brilliant to deal with, I think his name is Paul.
Big fan of The War on Drugs myself!
I’m getting a lot out of this thread. I’d never heard of magnetic effects, after seeing your mention of the black moon I checked them out, the white atom fuzz sounds so good. More GAS!
Wooo! Nice. It’s in tomorrow’s post, you’re gonna love it!
As a side note, the Black Moon is fantastic also. Got one on my personal board and currently using it exclusively for all my dirt needs
