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!
