Interesting... I'd guess it's aimed at guys with non-reverb/trem amps who'd like some of that action.

updated 1st post.

now if someone could please explain the different reverbs for me please???

Reinhard

Mmm, that would take two pedals off my board...

Beautiful typography.

I wash hoping for a dedicated trem, with tape tempo and a bunch of features I'd never use.

Would still like to try one.

the white papers on the reverb and trem are up:

The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. Our new Flint Tremolo & Reverb pedal delivers three classic tremolo circuits, along with three completely unique and complimentary reverb types.

You get the classic ’60s Spring Tank Reverb, the inventive ’70s Electronic Plate Reverb, and the nostalgic ’80s Hall Rack Reverb. Pete Celi, our Lead DSP Engineer and Sound Designer illustrates the research and sound design process that went into creating our reverbs in Flint.

Amplifier Tremolo Overview

Still incorrectly labeled as ‘vibrato’ in many cases, the tremolo effect is a cyclical amplitude (volume) modulation of the input signal. Although there are many cool tremolo effects that can be had by using a simple VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) circuit and applying geometric waveforms (like sine, triangle, square, ramp) to modulate the amplitude, our interest is in exploring the unique, soothing, pulsing, hypnotic effect that comes out of vintage amplifier tremolo circuits.

There were three main variations that came about in the late ’50s and ’60s. The three types can be referred to as Harmonic Tremolo, Power Tube Tremolo, and Photocell Tremolo. These variations have unique characteristics that result from the very different ways that the effect is achieved

Not necessarily, I have spring reverb on my 410 Blues Deville and I find that at some venues the motion of the stage shaking can cause nasty crashing sounds when the springs are moving along with everything else on the stage. I've been considering getting a reverb pedal to counter that and to have a drenched "surf" reverb setting on the pedal and a light reverb setting on the amp that I could switch between and I also happen to be looking for a nice trem, I was looking at the fulltone supertrem but this combo is rather enticing!

Having some things to fiddle with is nice to I guess. I'm definitely in the market for one of these!
