The one that got away

I shouldn't have sold this unit, I deeply regret that decision. This is a wonderful full range analog tremolo pedal with a panning option. The two newer version I believe are even better, stereo in and out, unlike this mono in and stereo out on this one. Maybe I'll get a newer unit and see if the same mojo exists in it.

Nice sounding tremolo

I never used this in stereo and just sold it for its lack of tap tempo, but has a superlative sound quality, if feels very warm.

BTW: hey, admins, this is not MXR, but Dunlop! Though they later launched a similar tremolo based on this one above MXR's brand.

No tap!

I really like the Dunlop pedals. But this pedal is not bad to have the tap tempo!

"You said you don’t really hear effects, but you did use some stompboxes on the album—right? I don’t need any overdrive pedals because the amps have plenty of overdrive. But I used a CryBaby wah, a Dunlop JD-45 Rotovibe, a Dunlop TS1 Tremolo, a Boss OC-2 Octave, and a Mesa/Boogie Revolver rotating-speaker cabinet."
