Frequently Asked Questions
It's a fairly rounded LFO shape, leaning towards a triangle wave, providing a smooth and musical tremolo effect rather than a harsh, choppy one.
The LED is reasonably bright, but not blinding; it's easily manageable even on darker boards, although a pedalboard LED blocker would eliminate it completely.
The Choka provides a simpler, more direct tremolo experience, lacking the Flint’s complex modulation options, but it nails a vintage tremolo sound at a much more accessible price point.
