This is the Australia based pedal builder Dazatronyx's Stereo Panning Optical Tremelo.
This pedal has been customized by the factory to provide for a TRS mini-pin to control the unit with a foot pedal.
They're rare and hard to find. More about the manufacturer here: https://dazatronyx.com/
From the builder Mike Hermans: "This is my attempt to make a perfect tremolo sound. After a decade of development, I've created this completely unique circuit as my ideal tremolo.
By shining a fading light against a photo-sensitive device, this tremolo uses all analog photo-coupling to restrict and fluctuate the output volume.
This is a stereo variation of my smaller Optical Tremolo. It can take a stereo input, or split a mono guitar input between two amplifiers. The PAN switch changes the oscillator of each channel to be out of sync - so one comes up in volume while the other drops. This creates a strange swirling effect. All original analog circuitry and true bypass mechanical switching.
