After working on my tremolo project for a friend, I thought I would take a closer look at other trems out there. I wouldn’t mind making a few adjustments or work on another similar project, so it’s fun to see what’s possible. For today’s ‘research’ I thought I ‘d look at the MXR M159 Stereo Tremolo.
Here is the official description:
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 Pedal 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 guitar pedal 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.
Of course I found a great video by jimdunlopusa. They usually have great descriptive demos of their pedals.
You can pick up the MXR M159 Stereo Tremolo for $169.99 at Musician’s Friend.
