About blueSky
Whether you’re a classic spring reverb fan or a studio rack aficionado, you’ll find your mojo here. blueSky provides three different reverb types, each with three modes, for a total of nine completely unique reverb experiences. blueSky even delivers an extremely versatile plate reverb, a rarity for a stompbox pedal. A full pre-delay and damping section provide deep reverb tone shaping. Add the mod and shimmer modes and you’re in store for unending reverb bliss. Couple that with 24-bit 96kHz converters and 115dB typical signal to noise, blueSky is equally at home on top of a studio console as it is in front of a tube amp.
About DIG
DIG unearths the true soul of digital delay and doubles it—two simultaneous, integrated delays with the captivating rack delay voicings from the 1980s and today, for incredible expressive potential. Effortlessly create your own world of intricate and synchronized echoes, along with hypnotic and atmospheric repeats that blur the line between delay and reverb. Stretch your sonic horizons with five musically satisfying rhythmic subdivisions and three dual delay routing options. Go from syncopated, pulsating delay patterns, to evocative, spaced-out echo trails all in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
About Flint
The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made it’s way onto countless records and performances—from early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns, film noir soundtracks, to modern day indie rock. There are certain things in life that just belong together—the blend of tremolo and reverb create the perfect pair. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities, and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms.

This just blew my mind. What a crazy set of prizes.
That Flint will go great with my Blue Sky and El Capistan. I have guitarists in my family that will enjoy the pedals I already have. What a great set of prizes indeed. All that and a Martin! Nice!!
Sweet pedals!
Amazing sound spectrum between the martin guitars and strymon pedals. Who knew what lush and brilliant soundscapes could be produced with this collaboration. Both companies have been known for raising the bar and producing top quality products for years. Combining the two opens my mind to endless possibilites between beautiful acoustic organics, and ethereal ambient electronic textures. Truly a celestial bond, thank you for the products and the demos.
Sincerely, Christian
Super excited for the Generalissimo to release! Strymon + Martin = Gold
Fantastic prizes ♡
Espectacular el sonido de estos pedales… Actualmente uso el sky en mi pedalera para Electrica…. De lejos la mejor reverb!!!!
Such an incredible set of prize packages! I already love my Big Sky and can’t imagine the potential of all these pedals lined up over a Martin acoustic! The demos sound so dreamy 🙂
This would bring live performance to a whole new level.
Thanks for the great opportunity Flint and Strymon.

This is a hell of a giveaway for 2 super lucky guys!!
Another contest – another chance! One can only hope…
awesome prize!!!
Amazing contest!!!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity and good luck everyone.
Love these products..
Hi, I didn’t received any e-mail confirmation of the contest entry, should I have received one?
Hi, no you won’t receive an email confirmation, but I just looked and you are entered 🙂 Thanks and good luck.
Amazing contest, love the products!
I honestly need these pedals in my life… the guitar would be all bonus.
Wow what a Great Give Away!
What an incredible opportunity. To put into the musician’s hands the tools in order to make them more skillful in their trade and to further their passionate pursuit of music.
Thank you have never won anything but this would be great
Excellent stuff. Thanks, all.
I’m a hardcore Martin fan from way back, old fashion if you want, a little chance of me winning this, but will enter anyway,hope who ever wins, will love them instruments the way I do
As much as I would love to win this giveaway, I’d also love more of these videos!
Hi guys, I would just bought my first Stymon pedal. Having great fun exploring a whole new world of sound. !
Thanks all.
The chance to actually own any of these exceptional items, would be incredible. I still use an old zoom 8080 from when that was first released. I’ve never had an acoustic, yet alone a “Matin”! Hearing the demo, just makes me think of what I could actually achieve (sonically) & when your wages go on rent, bills & travel & have nothing left, to have a chance of winning/owning these, will be incomprehensible.
WoW never knew what kind of effects are possible with these pedals and those amazing Guitars of Martin! Awsome. Love it very much.
I entered the contest. If I win can I get the Martin left handed?
Very nice give away, I have always loved the martin guitars just never was able to afford one..
