Members stangme01 Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Any other flanger/chorus that can do close to what hte electric mistress can? I've heard the reissue sucks tone, is noisey (i can imagine its similar to how noisey the small clone is which is REALLY noisey) and isn't nearly the pedal the original was. Are there any other flangers with capability of getting great gilmour sounds, as well as a great classic flanger sound? I don't want to spend $200 so hopefully there is something close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the MXR give that type of sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loofery Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 the evh flanger is 190. it is a $145 flanger with a paint job.you can get an mxr flanger used for 100, its the classic flanger, i cant recall gilmour doing flanging but its what evh used.my arion flanger can do the same settings but sounds warmer than the mxr. pick one up for $30-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members todd richman Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Why not just buy an original Electric Mistress(not the Deluxe) or get a reissue Deluxe and have Howard Davis convert it to original specs and true bypass it while he has it?

The EM route we are talking $300 or more if i want a good condition one and modded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members todd richman Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 I do not think you will find a flanger to d what you want for $10. Save up for a few weeks and get the Mistress with mods. Used reissues are cheap and the mods are not that pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mister_Billion Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 If you don't need the filter matrix settings on the Electric Mistress, I think the Arion SFL-1 flanger will get you close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save up for a few weeks and get the Mistress with mods. Used reissues are cheap and the mods are not that pricey. Well actually i said $100 not $10 and i would look for something used, not new for that price. Also i can afford probably any pedal on the market, its just that i can't bring myself to pay that much for a pedal. Even the best pedals i've played around with IMO aren't worth paying more than $120-$130 for. Hmmm maybe i'll try that arion out. I played the boss flanger again today, man why are those so popular i thought the X-series Digitech was much better, still not what i'm looking for though.

Members StompboxMan Posted June 4, 2006 Members Share Posted June 4, 2006 The improvement in flanging went from the EH Electric Mistress to the new EH Flanger Hoax. The Hoax also does Phasing. It's a Thru Zero Flanger with 2 Manual Controls (Delay Lines) unlike any other Flanger on the market. Some sell the B-Stock Flanger Hoax at a reduced price. www.ehx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess i'll have to check it out. I did end up liking the small stone surprisingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stangme01 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hey i just wanted to thank you guys and give you an update. I picked up one of those Arion Flangers I found one on ebay that this guy has had for like a decade that was like brand new in the box with the warranty card/instructions etc. for dirt cheap. I am just BLOWN AWAY at how happy i am I haven't played a better flanger for my tastes, there is no way i would have been happier with the EH mistress! This thing has very mild to VERY overboard flanging, also will do chorus stuff. Some major detuned type chorus too if you want. IT takes a Boss power supply jack and is dead quiet, and no tone sucking! This has got to be one of the best kept pedal secrets of all time. This is the biggest score i've had since playing guitar. (for getting great value for my money) thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members loofery Posted June 7, 2006 Members Share Posted June 7, 2006 good going stangme I think I've told 4 people to get the arion and you were the only one who came through.. to the other people, i told you so! L6, you have such good taste in gear, I don't think I would ever trade you for anything, because if a pedal was good, you wouldn't be spamming it !
