Fun comparison, thanks for that! I have the original Flint and (as a longtime Fender Twin owner) really like the simple, intuitive Rev / Trem it offers. That said, I tend to use the Plate setting for my guitar rather than the splashier Spring. Funny you should mention using both because after watching this I can see how the WW would be a fun one for me on it's own or in tandem with the Flint. I like the option of an Analog (slap-back or wobbly tape) into a (dotted eighth, distant multi-repeat) Digital Delay pairing so why not similar with reverb? The harmonic thing on the WW makes for a funky effect, too. Cheers.
Owned the WW V1 and LOVE the sound. It is the perfect analog reverb pedal, expect that it’s horribly impractical and way too delicate. I was sent a bad box, and had constant consistency issues with the reverb decay. Also, it’s just too big to be on a board, unless you’re rolling with a massive board. Also, you were totally correct about the live floor vibration issue. I had the WW springs go off all the time live. It was very annoying, even on a board. I have a flint now. Not as sexy, but a way safer pick for live use. Here is what I would say: Best sound: White Whale Best Live Use: Flint EASILY If you’re an at home player or use dry amps, the WW is a cool choice. Just treat it as a separate unit on top of your amp.
Loved the sound of them both together. I really liked the Flint that I borrowed for a couple of years but on this vid I preferred the sound of the White Whale. I can't afford either of them though 😅
