Members tenoken Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 I think this will be my next pedal. Do we know (or can we speculate): When it comes out? How much it'll run? Whether it has a volume drop? Whether the chorus mode is a least as good as the Small Clone? I hope to replace my Small Clone on my live gig board.

Members Macdaddy Music Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 It sells for $118.50. It's supposed to be out any day (early August was the initial time frame given to dealers). We have an order in with EHX and I expect these in any day....(crossing fingers). Not sure on the answers to your other two questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm thinking the chorus might not be that good on it's own, I think to get the best out of this the chorus and Flange will have to be carefully blended together.....or maybe not!

Hmmm. I am staying optimistic that the chorus is good enough. $118 isn't bad, as long as the flange and chorus are solid. And speaking of the Clone Theory, how is the chorus on that?? I never heard much mentioned about that pedal. I hope the SEM is a new classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mookieunit Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm tempted by the Mistress but I got my mind set on my WORM right now. It's due to arrive this afternoon by UPS and I'm dying to get home and try it out. It's torture I tell you, torture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpectralJulian Posted August 29, 2007 Members Share Posted August 29, 2007 I heard they are digital. I'm more hot for the BYOC flange which should come out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 29, 2007 Members Share Posted August 29, 2007 I heard they are digital. Are you {censored}tin' me? That's not cool. I mean, I like the digital pedals I own and all, but if it's digital, it shouldn't be called an Electric Mistress.

I like the clone theory's chorus mode, but the vibrato mode is where it really shines. www.soundclick.com/pedaldemos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MegaTom Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 You know what sucks about most stereo pedals.........? Most of them don't have stereo inputs, so without an expensive router like the Switchblade or something of the like, you can only have one functional stereo effect on a pedal board. meh.

I totally agree with this. One of the reasons I dumped the RV-2 for a Verbzilla. I REALLY want a stereo in/out panning trem. Then I can pan different efx to each side. :love::love::love::love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members houseofglass21 Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 The best thing about the Electric Mistress was it's warm analog non-metallic sound unlike most other flangers. It's unfortunate if this one is digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 I played one of these the other day and it reminded me a lot of every XO series EHX pedal they have put out. ABSOLUTE {censored}. The chorus is muffled and boring. The flange has a tremolo effect in addition so when it goes to the bottom of the curve the volume cuts out. When you turn the depths up to the point where they actually produce effect, you hear no actual guitar playing - just the swoosh of the pedal. I have no idea who passed this circuit for production but the pedal is terrible. BTW - overall volume drop = crap. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wacopacco Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 hmm nitefly my xo pulsar is the shizzle... but what you said about the xo mistress is what i feared the most, and kinda expected... I was so excited about this pedal. Until i heard it was digital. Now i'm not an analog corksniffer by any means, but in my experience with most digital pedals, they fail to deliver. Especially when there trying to re-create a classic (the electric mistress). What pisses me off the most is that it would have been so easy to just do an analog flanger, in an xo size, make sure it sounds "close" to the original mistress (cmon cant be that hard), and if you want stereo outs then fine. But what the {censored} is the point of it being digital? Wouldn't that actually make it more expensive? And chorus/flange? Um, what happened to colour, range, and speed...? The electric mistress is a flanger, not a chorus/flanger. That pedal shouldn't even have the EM title... i dont get it. What was EH thinking? I love my big box mistress, and will allways be on the lookout for a vintage muff-sized mistress. But for now, my Small Clone and Nebula paired together, give me all the 'warble' i could ever need.
