Electro-Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress Reviews

why tf is this thing so light but it sounds good

Good: + Two effects in one pedal + Stereo + Great High Pitch Expressiveness + Filter mode

Bad: - Digital - Buffered bypass - No a lot of low end

I love the swirling or pulsating sound this pedal gives. Can shimmer on slow rates or wobble on fast settings, then you can mix a Chorus to it.

I do not like the new stereo electric mistress... I do not like the new clone theory... I do not like what EHX is doing to their classic modulation pedals AT ALL. I can't give this thing away. I've sued it as a chorus on occasion on keyboards.

I bought this as a flanger for one song my covers band play. i didn't care for it mainly but its earned a place on my board as a keeper. as a flanger its great and as a chorus/flanger thing its great. as a chorus its rubbish... got mine cheap at 55 quid including the wall wart. its not the best 55 quid ive ever spent...(ive been to Amsterdam, but that's another story) but its up there.

This baby is the first pedal I own from EHX. A cool mix of Chorus and Flanger with only three knobs. Still, the controls are enough, plus there is an awesome matrix mode to create even more weird sounds. Must say it is well-made, tight and has huge comfortable knobs. I like how it looks in the pedalboard: the LED has few different states so that it shows not only the maximum position of the envelope, but also the mid-state. Perfect, will go for more EHX for sure!

Having mono inputs limits this pedal a lot. EHX is assuming that this pedal will be the first in my stereo chain. They do the same with all of their other pedals. This means, if you're a fan of EHX pedals, you can only use one of their stereo pedals in stereo. Other than that... this is a great sounding pedal.

There's a lot of interesting sounds to get out of the Electric Mistress, though the name may be somewhat misleading; the addition of a chorus pedal sets it apart from the vintage tone everyone seeks, and lacks the detailed controllability of other models. While it's simple design makes it easier to get a great tone out of, this isn't a pedal designed to do subtle; think Andy Summers/Police style tones.

Great for adding some extra flair to a rhythm section, but those looking for Gilmour-ish flanged lead tones would do better to turn to Mooer's ElecLady

When using this great pedal, you are really starting to sound like Andy Summers or David Gilmour.

A very wide, warm and rich flange/chorus sound which can do anything from Robert Smith to the Smiths to Siouxsie to...

It can go really fast and warbly, or it can be subtle and shimmery. Below a certain 'rate', you can manipulate its comb filter for manual jet flanging, old-school goth style. Cool.

A word of warning though; this sounds very different to the deluxe Electric Mistress, which is a pure Flanger/matrix thing. A lot of people do prefer that one, and if you're after, say, the Gilmour sound circa 'Animals', that's the one to get, not this one. This is more of a dual-purpose chorus and flanger for all-round modulation duties. It's not the best chorus or flanger sound in isolation, but combined they're lovely.

One of my favorite pedals, hope to get a classic one
