Trying to decide between the Flux Liquid Trem and Mr. Black Pan-a-trem.

Hi. My main purpose for this pedal is my love of Magnatone'a Harmonic Trem in stereo operation such as that from the Magnatone Panoramic head I owned. I plan on placing the pedal after my Full-Tone Tube Tape Echo's stereo outputs so stereo i/o is a must.

I have fallen in love with the tone and effects of the Pan-A-Trem via videos, but when I had their Twin Lazers Phaser I ran into issues with its headroom dealing with the hot output of the Full-Tone's preamp when cranked and slammed with a Treble Booster (what a glorious crunch tone, absolute rock-n-roll Nirvana achieved).

I like the idea of the idea of the Flux's active gain matching and compensation, and absolutely love its extensive midi capabilities for pairing with my pedal switching rig and midi-controller.

But first and foremost as a slave to the sound the most important deciding factor for me is its tones and accuracy to that delicious Maggie Trem in stereo which the Pan-a-Trem definitively nails.

Does anyone have any direct experience with both or either? If so what were your impressions of each? Anybody done any head to head comparisons, or comparisons that you know of?
