    Are you still using your Bluesky much Robert? I was all set to buy one, then I saw the Flint. I'm sure the Flint will have less options in the reverb section than the Bluesky, but I'm expecting the trem section to sound amazing!

    I wonder if the reverb is the same one that is already on your El Capistan?

    The reverb on the El Cap is pretty cool, (and involved in my only complaint about the pedal. That being the inability to assign the reverb to the expression out) but the Flint has three types of verb so I'd hope two of them sound a bit different. Of course on top of that there's the decay and colour controls too.

    The thing is, I really like the crazy shimmer sounds from the Bluesky, and I like the idea of a really nice tremolo.... Decisions Decisions

    In related news, after months of owning it, I finally tried switching the El Cap from bypass to tails mode so I could run it as a looper in front of my new amp. If you haven't messed with this feature yet Don, you really should give it a go!

    With the pedal in bypass mode the sound on sound looper is not real practical, but in tails mode (so, no true bypass, but (surprise surprise) it doesn't make any difference to your sound) it's heaps of fun! You use the bypass switch to turn record on and off and the tap switch to splice in, out and erase the loop. The awesome part is you can of course make your loops sparkly clean or mauled by a bear and anywhere in between.

    I have not tried that but it sounds cool. I'll give it a go. Thanks!

    As for 'Decisions, Decisions' there is one easy answer, get both!
