Product Description
Uncommon green-face v1 Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress pedal for sale in excellent working order and good clean cosmetic condition.
Dating from c1976, it's in excellent original condition aside from the footswitch which can be replaced if the buyer requests.
The 18v Electric Mistress is the best Flanger EH ever made - far superior to the Deluxe and reissue models in our view - and without doubt one of the holy grails of vintage tone. Use it sparingly and the chorus-like shimmer is simply magic.
Both David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Andy Summers of The Police famously used 18v Mistresses as part of their signature sound - just plug a guitar into this pedal and you'll realise why they are so highly-prized: can be subtle and chorus-like in a way other flangers seem to miss.
It sounds fantastic, offering a wide range of quality effects: from subtle chorus-style thickening through classic syrupy-rich flanging to insane psychedelic modulation.

Please be aware that this is a vintage pedal and will not be as clean-sounding as modern boutique and digital units; like many vintage EH pedals (depending on the instrument it's used with and the signal chain) some volume drop can occur when the effect is engaged; this can often be solved by putting a buffered (ie Boss type) pedal before it in the signal chain (bypassed).
Powered by 2 x 9v batteries or 18v power supply (not included). Two new batteries are fitted ready for sale.
