Introducing the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress XO, a modern take on the vintage flanger effect. This classic pedal now comes in a compact, pedalboard-friendly die-cast package, making it more accessible for today's digital musicians. The circuitry remains faithful to its roots, delivering an authentic analog sound that musicians have cherished for decades.

Introduced in 1976, the original Electric Mistress enchanted musicians with its rich, resonant flanging and unique Filter Matrix effect. The Deluxe version now comes with a standard EHX9.6-200mA power supply and can also run on a 9 volt battery, ensuring you can keep the music going no matter where you are.

The pedal features True Bypass switching to maintain signal path integrity when the effect is switched off. It also includes an LED indicator to show when the effect is engaged.

The Filter Matrix mode is a standout feature, disconnecting the modulation waveform from the flanger circuit to create a matrix of filters. This innovative mode freezes the flanger, allowing musicians to achieve unique effects akin to the sound of chimes playing in unison with their instrument.

• Unique Filter Matrix mode for freeze-frame tones and tricks
