Product Information
Congratulations on your purchase of the Deluxe Electric Mistress, a true stand-out classic in the Electro-Harmonix line-up! Over the past four decades, guitarists spanning numerous genres have relied on the Deluxe Electric Mistress to broaden their guitar’s sound pallet, making their guitar sound bigger, lusher, and even a little ethereal.
The Deluxe Electric Mistress has been set at the factory for maximum colour capacity. Turning COLOR to its most clockwise setting could cause self- oscillation to occur. This is normal! This oscillation may be reduced by turning the COLOR knob down slightly.
If you choose to operate the Deluxe Electric Mistress from battery power, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the Deluxe Electric Mistress. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate and connect a 9V battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.

Introductions
Congratulations on your purchase of the Deluxe Electric Mistress, a true
stand-out classic in the Electro-Harmonix line-up! Over the past four decades,
guitarists spanning numerous genres have relied on the Deluxe Electric
Mistress to broaden their guitar’s sound pallet, making their guitar sound
bigger, lusher and even a little ethereal.
You might notice that the Deluxe Electric Mistress that came with this manual
is quite a bit smaller than every other Deluxe Electric Mistress ever made by
Electro-Harmonix. The circuit remains true to its roots even though we’ve
reduced its footprint to fit into a pedalboard-friendly die-cast box. Power is
now supplied by 9VDC, both from the included AC Adaptor or from a battery, but
the voltage is boosted internally to the higher voltage normally preferred by
the Deluxe Electric Mistress. True Bypass and LED indication have also been
added.
WARNING: Your Deluxe Electric Mistress comes equipped with an Electro- Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply (same as used by Boss® & Ibanez®: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Deluxe Electric Mistress requires up to 40mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong adaptor may damage your unit and void the warranty. The Deluxe Electric Mistress also accepts 9V batteries, we recommend alkaline ones.
RATE Knob – controls the speed of flanger modulation. As you turn RATE
clockwise, the flanger’s speed increases. Higher settings of RATE give the
effect a sound like vibrato.
RANGE Knob – allows you to set the lower limit of the flanger sweep. A
fully counter-clockwise setting, where the lower limit is just below the
higher, creates a very narrow sweeping effect. As you turn RANGE clockwise the
flanger sweeps down further into the bass region. A convincing rotating
speaker effect may be obtained by setting RATE near maximum, RANGE near
minimum, and COLOR approximately halfway.
COLOR Knob – sets the intensity of the flanger effect. As you turn COLOR
clockwise the effect becomes more pronounced, producing that classic whoosh
effect flangers are famous for.
The Deluxe Electric Mistress has been set at the factory for maximum colour capacity. Turning COLOR to its most clockwise setting could cause self- oscillation to occur. This is normal! This oscillation may be reduced by turning the COLOR knob down slightly.
FILTER MATRIX Switch – when this switch is set to the right position,
labelled FILTER MATRIX, the modulation waveform is disconnected from the
flanger circuit, freezing the flanger and creating a matrix of filters. Turn
the RANGE knob to change the filters’ position and use COLOR to adjust the
depth of filtering. The RATE knob has no effect when set to FILTER MATRIX
mode. Proper manipulation of the RANGE and COLOR knobs will enable you to
simulate the sound of chimes being played in unison with your instrument, as
well as many other effects.
FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch toggles the Deluxe Electric Mistress
between effect and True Bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED is
lit.
INPUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the audio input for the Deluxe Electric
Mistress. The input impedance is 600kΩ.
FLANGED OUT Jack – This ¼” jack is the effect output for the Deluxe
Electric Mistress. All flanging and modulation effects will emanate from this
jack. The output impedance is 5.5kΩ.
DRY OUT Jack – This ¼” jack is connected directly to the INPUT jack
giving you access to your input signal which you can send to another amp or
chain of effects bypassing the Deluxe Electric Mistress’ flange effect.
9V Power Jack – Although the Deluxe Electric Mistress accepts 9V
Batteries, EHX supplies your Deluxe Electric Mistress with an Electro-Harmonix
9.6DC-200 power supply. Plug the output of the supplied AC adaptor into the 9V
power jack located at the top of the Deluxe Electric Mistress. The Deluxe
Electric Mistress draws up to 40mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The
Deluxe Electric Mistress accepts Boss® and Ibanez® style AC Adaptors. Please
do not exceed 10VDC at the 9V power jack.
If you choose to operate the Deluxe Electric Mistress from battery power you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the Deluxe Electric Mistress. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate and connect a 9V battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
