In this video Dan is taking a stroll down flanger boulevard. He has two favourite pedals in the world: one is his original Boss CE-1 Chorus; the other is his 1977 Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress. But the ol’ girl is getting too precious and delicate to schlep to gigs, meaning he’s had to search for a younger model. Many a pretty pretender has come and gone but nothing has really stood up to his original Mistress in terms of sound or feel.
However, just when he thought it was never going to happen, he stumbled on a pedal that he thinks does the job. He’s already started using it, but just to make sure, we thought we’d put it up against the contenders to date and get a listen.
So why aren’t there more flangers in this video? According to Dan, the Electric Mistress is a very specific thing; quite different from the likes of the Boss BF-2, for example. Yes, there are myriad flangers available from almost every brand, but these are the ones he chose; these are they on which we shall verily chew.

Please enjoy the video…
