Julep
/ˈjo͞oləp/
– a sweet flavoured drink made from a sugar syrup, sometimes containing alcohol or medication.
Today’s pedal, the Julep Stereo Pan / Phase from Mile End Effects, is by concept a semblance of the infamous Ibanez FP-777 Flying Pan, but functionally and electronically is an expansion and improvement on the idea. From syrupy, frothy vibe effects to dizzying, choppy stutters, this optical stereo panning/tremolo and phasing effect gives a wide variety of sounds with variable waveform sculpting, independent depth controls for both left and right channels, a vast sweep in panning/tremolo rate from a slow crawl to a worried tremble and a subtle, vintage voiced phaser that at certain depth settings will take you into rotary simulation/uni-vibe territories and viscous swirls saved only for the finest lysergic experiences (…or for a cold, refreshing orange juice beverage with an egg mixed in…).
Send the stereo outputs from this pedal to 2 different effects chains for all kinds of panning possibilities, run the outputs to two separate amplifiers or use the pedal in mono for a simple, but versatile tremolo and phaser. You control the Depth of the left and right sides of the tremolo with individual knobs, while Rate is used to set the panning/tremolo speed. The Waveform control moves from triangle to square, exploring everything in between the two as well. Phase Depth and Phase Rate control the depth and speed of the phaser, and the Sync/Separate switch synchronizes the panning/tremolo between the stereo outputs, or separates the outputs by 180 degrees.
You can use these effects on their own, but they really take off and turn powerful when used in tandem. If you’re a modulation nut, you’re going to absolutely fall in love with the Julep Stereo Pan / Phase pedal…trust us. This is our third effect from the crew at Mile End Effects, and they just continue to knock each creation out of the musical park. Be sure to hit up their website to pre-order a Julep for yourself, and don’t forget to click below to see and hear this magnificent creation in action in our full-length demo video – cheers!
