The Mile End Effects Julep, a stereo panning/tremolo and phaser pedal from Montreal builder Justin Cober, was profiled by Delicious Audio on June 13, 2022¹. The pedal had been announced in December 2021, when it was available for pre-order with shipping expected around March 1, 2022²³.

Delicious Audio describes the Julep as "a versatile optical stereo panning/tremolo and phasing effect that can produce a wide variety of sounds with variable waveform," with separate depths for the left and right channels¹. The two effects run in parallel with separate footswitches and controls¹. The phaser has Depth and Rate knobs; the tremolo side has Left Depth, Right Depth and Rate, plus a Waveform knob that sits on the phaser side but applies to the tremolo's stereo LFO, producing triangle, square and shapes in between¹. A Sync/Separate toggle synchronizes the panning between the stereo outputs or separates them by 180 degrees¹²³. Run in mono, the panning effect becomes a regular tremolo²³.

The pedal is true bypass and requires 100 mA at 9VDC through a 2.1mm center negative connector¹. MusicRadar reported it is handmade in Canada³. Delicious Audio said Cober's pedals "sell out within days of release" and closed its piece: "This pedal looks really cool, but good luck finding it!"¹

Gearnews and MusicRadar both listed the price as CAD 279²³; no US dollar price was given. Gearnews reported the pre-order and March 1 shipping date on December 21, 2021², and MusicRadar carried the same date that day³.
