It is finished. Wilson wah on the floor not pictured. Everything I need, nothing I dont. The patch cables are Canare GS-4's and its powered by by a Cioks Adam mounted underneath. The Mad Professor Chorus is set to that Fender Vibratone/SRV Cold Shot tone and does it great, without typical analog chorus white noise. The ONLY other thing I want to get is a Strymon favorites switch so I can toggle between harmonic tremolo and bias tremolo.

Couldn’t see it in the Tapatalk app, but saw it on the website. Looking great! Glad the flint is working out! That switch is so useful. Can also be used as tap tempo!

Re the Strymon switch....is the favorite switch and the tap tempo switch the SAME thing with the same type of cable? Or do you need 2 separate ones, one for each function? Couldn’t see it in the Tapatalk app, but saw it on the website. Looking great! Glad the flint is working out! That switch is so useful. Can also be used as tap tempo!

It’s the strymon brand mini fav/tap switch. Same one. U open it up and decide if u want it as a fav switch or tap tempo. Other aftermarket fav switches don’t do it to my knowledge.

Thx. How long is the supplied TRS cable? Straight or right angle ends? I'd want at least 1 ft with straight ends.

It’s straight angle which is annoying! I bought two long right angle trs cables in case I get another fav switch for my el Capistan. U can find them for pretty cheap on amazon

I knew I'd love the bias and harmonic tremolo, and I do. I think the spring Reverb is as good as any other good spring Reverb pedal. But I find myself loving the plate Reverb! I didnt see that coming. I'm just a nice touch of Reverb always on kinda guy, always use amp Reverb and never find myself wanting more than a BF Fenders reverb set between 2.5 and 3. Tye plate isnt totally different thdn spring at the amount I use, but it sounds better with gain and boost. Looking good Ben! How do you like the Flint?

Just a solid pedal

My latest board is also dedicated to the z28. Sometimes I wish it had the flint on there but the delay takes up too much space at the moment. I’m enjoying it though. It’s great having a small grab and go board.

I don’t think I’ve even scratched the surface yet. Big Ben, what made you choose the Cioks Adam over a few of the other variants that are know to fit underneath the nano plus, and other similarly shaped boards?

My board is Nano+ sized at 18.5" but not a Pedaltrain. It's cheaper, made by On Stage, but I like it better. Its slightly canted. I needed something with a 250mA Jack to power the Flint, and the Adam has it and fits underneath, no modifications. That board totals 383mA, the Adam makes 700mA. T thought about the DC5 but didnt need the extra options. Is that Timmy growing on u? I’ve rediscovered how much I love it! It’s actually a pretty versatile pedal.

Appreciate, the feedback. I’m just running a one spot into daisy chain with cheap fender custom shop patch cables. The One spot puts out 1700ma but I would like to eventually run isolated power supplies to each pedal via an Adam or Dc5. Excellent choice on your part.

Anything Strymon NEEDS a bunch of isolated power, and most digital pedals do better with it. I ran a One Spot with zero issues until I got the Flint. The DC5 gives you 18v options whereas the Adsm doesnt, if that's important to you. I dont have anything I run at 18v so I went with the cheaper option. Appreciate, the feedback.
