MusicRadar Verdict
The ElecLady provides 70s-style flanging at about one-sixth of the usual size.
Pros
- +
Compact size. Filter mode. Familiar sound.
Cons
- -
Color knob gets a bit extreme. Small black knobs not ideal for onstage tweaking.
MusicRadar's got your back
No prizes for guessing where the Eleclady derives her inspiration - the pedal even has its name in the same font as Electro-Harmonix's Electric Mistress, and features the same controls, with knobs for Color, Rate and Range, and a switch for filter and normal modes: cheeky.
Sounds
The E-HX analogue flanger sound is well represented here - even that signature metallic whine you get when switching a Mistress to Filter Matrix mode.
It's not exactly the same, of course - those tiny knobs don't make subtle setting up easy, and the Color knob goes a little too far and can make an unholy racket - but the flavour is unmistakable.
