Electric Flanger
The Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress is a classic flanger/filter matrix pedal renowned for its lush, sweeping modulation and distinctive jet-like sounds. Introduced in the 1970s, it was one of the first flanger pedals available and is notable for its analog circuitry, which delivers warm, organic tones. The Filter Matrix mode allows users to freeze the modulation, creating unique, choppy textures. Favored by guitarists for its versatility and expressive sound, the Electric Mistress has been used by artists such as David Gilmour and Andy Summers.
Fender Model Guide
Combines fluid modulation with resonant filtering to produce liquid textures, evolving harmonics and highly expressive movement.
- RATE Adjusts speed of flanging effect.
- DEPTH Adjusts amount of flanging effect mixed into signal.
- COLOR Adjusts intensity of flanging effect.
- TAP DIVISION Selects the subdivision of the current tempo to use for setting the effect speed.
- MODE SWITCH Selects flanger or filter mode. In filter mode, the harmonic flanging characteristics remain, but without any frequency modulation. This creates different tonalities when the RATE control is set in various positions.
