MXR M159 Stereo Tremolo Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
This tremelo pedal features all the same effects as the Dunlop TS-1 just in a smaller package. You can use it with one amp or ping-ponged from one amp to another.

With its warm analog circuitry and lush tremolo sound, the Dunlop TS-1 set the standard for tremolo pedals for over a decade. The MXR M159 Tremolo keeps all the effects and controls of the original-but in a smaller, pedalboard-friendly size. Its 18-volt operation provides rich and vibrant sound with low noise due to its high headroom. With the versatile input/output options the M159 can produce hypnotic, pulsing mono tremolo through a single amp or ping-ponged from one amp to another in stereo mode for a huge, spacious tone.

I tested dozens of tremolo pedals before settling for this one! A few sounded superb, among them the Demeter Tremulator and the Fullsound SupaTrem. But the MXR sounds perfect in ANY setting. It never gets too choppy, or too warbly. Its warmth makes the guitar breathe with a natural, pleasing pulse that somehow inspires you to play less and listen more. In that sense, it's a truly musical pedal. The stereo panning is stunning for a while, but this pedal needs no tricky gimmicks to convince.
