Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
A rare and highly sought-after green-face Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress pedal for sale in excellent working order.
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.
The 18v Electric Mistress is the best Flanger EH ever made - far superior to the Deluxe and reissue models in many ways.
This pedal sounds fantastic, offering a wide range of quality effects: from subtle chorus-style thickening through classic syrupy-rich flanging to insane psychedelic modulation.
This pedal dates from the late 70s. It's certainly seen some action but truly sounds fantastic and is built like a tank (made in USA). It wears its battle scars with pride and certainly has mojo aplenty - as you'd expect from a player's vintage EH pedal (see the detailed photos).
Internally it's in good condition and in as perfect a working order as a well-used 30 year-old pedal can be.
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).
It's powered by 2 x 9v batteries or 18v power supply (not included). Two new batteries are fitted ready for sale.

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
