Deluxe Electric Mistress
Rich, resonant flanging plus a unique Filter Matrix effect!
The original Electric Mistress was introduced in 1976 and the Deluxe version followed two years later. Throughout its decades-long history, musicians have consistently been captivated by its rich, resonant flanging and unique Filter Matrix effect.
The classic Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger is now available in a compact die-cast package with a number of enhancements to make the venerable analog pedal more user-friendly for today’s pedalboard using players. The circuit remains true to its roots, but power is now supplied via a standard power supply. True Bypass switching ensures maximum signal path integrity when the effect is switched off, and an LED has been added to indicate when the effect is engaged.
Controls:
1. RATE: controls the speed of flanger modulation. As you turn RATE clockwise, the flanger’s speed increases. Higher settings of RATE give the effect a sound like vibrato.
2. RANGE: allows you to set the lower limit of the flanger sweep. A fully counter-clockwise setting, where the lower limit is just below the higher, creates a very narrow sweeping effect. As you turn RANGE clockwise the flanger sweeps down further into the bass region. A convincing rotating speaker effect may be obtained by setting RATE near maximum, RANGE near minimum, and COLOR approximately half-way.
3. COLOR: sets the intensity of the flanger effect. As you turn COLOR clockwise the effect becomes more pronounced, producing that classic whoosh effect flangers are famous for. The Deluxe Electric Mistress has been set at the factory for maximum color capacity. Turning COLOR to its most clockwise setting could cause selfoscillation to occur. This is normal! This oscillation may be reduced by turning the COLOR knob down slightly.
4. FILTER MATRIX Switch: when this switch is set to the right position, labeled FILTER MATRIX, the modulation waveform is disconnected from the flanger circuit, freezing the flanger and creating a matrix of filters. Turn the RANGE knob to change the filters’ position and use COLOR to adjust the depth of filtering. The RATE knob has no affect when set to FILTER MATRIX mode. Proper manipulation of the RANGE and COLOR knobs will enable you to simulate the sound of chimes being played in unison with your instrument, as well as many other effects.
