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.

Ed’s Dunlop Tremolo can be seen resting on top of his Mesa Boogie Trem-O-Verb in this photo. The photo was originally posted on Radiohead’s scrapbook website in the mid-2000s, so it was most likely taken between 2002 and 2004. It looks to have been taken during soundcheck at a theater.
"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."

Strings: Dean Markley, gauged .013, .014, .018, .036, .052, .056 (“I like them because I can almost feel the ridges, says Hayes. “Some strings feel too elastic.”)
Taken from an excerpt of a '97 issue of Bass Player Magazine. Lists the complete equipment of gear/pedals that Greg Edwards was using during the Fantastic Planet tour. One of the pedals mentioned is the Dunlop TS-1, ASFAK this pedal was only used on Segue 1 in conjunction with the EHX Big Muff for that giant stuttering bass sound, the only other song this pedal was used was on Saturday Savior, specifically during the solo section. Best heard of the June 1st and 9th performances of the song in 1997.
A photograph from last.fm clearly shows that Justin Trosper uses the Dunlop TS-1 Tremolo Stereo Pan. The distinct form factor, color, knobs, and footswitches of the pedal can be identified, and it is positioned between a Boss OD-1 and a DigiTech PDS-1002 in the image.
