Sounds pretty damn spot on to my original ‘79 Deluxe, only not as noisy lol. Pretty much everything is there, including the really metallic bell-like tones you can get out of it that almost pass into ring modulator territory. Cool pedal! Fantastic name too, pretty hilarious!
Seems like a great all rounder - can go from subtle “is it a chorus or a flange?” Andy Summers type settings, right through to EVH tones and everything in between. Love it! As for PastFX taking on 80’s chorus such as the Rockman you mentioned, I’m hoping that chorus is included on their upcoming Rockman X100 pedal. I really can’t wait for that one!
What a glorious flanger sound. I think it's kind of under appreciated these days because so many people associate a flanger with the insane jet plane swoosh preset from their old multi fx units.
I’ve never heard of PastFx until your last two demo’s of there pedals I’m very impressed by them and you did one hell of job on both videos killing it every time you do a video🤟🏻thanks for all your hard work and knowledge LT ROCK ON 🤟🏻
Just got one of these, it came with stereo out (though I think I'm going to keep it in mono for my board/uses), a bright knob and a loudness knob instead of internal trim pots. It immediately 'does the thing' and nails 'that sound.' Great pedal.
that pedal has a very nice shimmer effect i like it very nice !! thanks bud great video,i have an old DigiTech chorus /flanger pedal from the 80's this has same sparkle chime
Your demo of the Chorus convinced me. I am waiting mine now, eager to try it out. And today, this other fantastic box from PastFx. I have the EH Electric Mistress and I am not really satisfied of it. Will this Mattress join my board? 😊
Thanks!! It definitely has the goods. I’m constantly amazed at how I owned, used, abused and broke all these FX that their sound are in such demand today. I can still recall the image of me throwing a mid 70’s EHX Rams Head Big Muff Pi in the garbage. Probably over some simple loose solder joint. So stupid. In fact there was a point where a Big Muff > Electric Mistress > Deluxe Memory Man > Fender Twin or Band Master was my rig. Also used a 2X12 Sunn cabinet with Sunn labeled JBL’s in them. That was my mutt version of a stack.
Very cool. I see you got out the almighty Hamer. What a guitar. Love that Strat too. It sounds like the electric Mistress improved for sure. ♥️🤘 On my first cup of coffee and saw your vid and couldn't click fast enough. Still need to watch the Soldano mini head. Have been working for my elderly parents to keep their house in order and especially the yard which is jungle like here in the green green pastures of the Midwest. 😂 Be safe and well sir. ♥️
I always dig your heavt rock stuff, but the intro song you did at the beginning of the video was really cool. Lets hear some more of that. Your strat sounds killer by the way!
If you're looking for the Electric Mistress flanger sound, the get the Retro-sonic Flanger. I have the Retro-sonic and the V3 Elastic Mattress and the Retro-sonic is much better sounding. Side by side, the Elastic Mattress is thin, overly bright and brittle
I noticed that Bjorn from Gilmourish prefers the Mattress. I’ve got one and haven’t noticed any loss of low end. Doesn’t sound thin or brittle at all to me.
The original vintage Electric Mistress was thin sounding and cut out your bass frequencies. If you want an accurate recreation, that’s part of it’s sound you have to accept. If a pedal starts “correcting” things like that, it’s no longer an accurate recreation.
@darwinsaye Yes, electric mistress cut bass. But not this much as the mattress. Top end on the mistress wasn't brittle like the mattress. So not an accurate recreation then either.
Oh god, that's just gorgeous sounding. That's THE sound I've wanted for a long time.
Yeah I didn't know I was missing this sound in my life
Dude buy it it’s the best pedal I ever bought had it since January soooo good!

Brings me back to Pink Floyd Animals

yeah this kind of Flanger is pure shimmery goodness
just pulled the trigger on one of these, need more colour on my board
Enjoy!
Dreamy, creamy and lush. An instant transport back decades ago. Very nice.
That intro/demo track is super rad. Killer playing as usual!
That pedal sounds fantastic, both with the washy clean sounds and also with the dirt (thickened things up nicely).
Yeah it sits in that "makes everything better" sweet spot.
Sounds like the deluxe I had when they were rolled out, filter matrix is just as I remember it was!!! Thanks Leon!
If I'm not mistaken, Adrian Belew used the EH/EM for the iconic Elephant Talk riff. See if you can dial that in from the Mattress!
For those of us who walk the path of the Mistress, i can only say:
This is the Way
This is the way

Aussies doing it right!
@@LeonTodd you got that right! I would love to visit Australia been a dream of mine since childhood 🤟🏻

That's a great sound for the beginning of "ozzy" killer of giants. Great,great video Leon🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's one of the "sickest" pedals I don't have. I want it! Great video mate. Loved the demo!!!🤘

Great playing Leon. Thanks for the review.
My pleasure!

Yeah I've had a few moments like that with gear that I've either sold way below value or traded for something I never use.
👍🏿🤘Crikey that seems to take dirt amazingly well. Great demo.
man your playing was so damn sweet, + this pedal adding layers of sweetness 🔥
i been eyeing on electric missus, price never went down xD
😍
Wow! That is a classic man🤘Great video (again)
Glad you enjoyed it!
The jam is sublime..Really lush sound
Any link for the backing track??
Thanks! I made that one so it'll be up on my Patreon this week.
Very cool. I see you got out the almighty Hamer. What a guitar. Love that Strat too.

Sounds so nice!!!
Love this thing
Loved the video. I have this pedal and it is amazing. I want to collect them all!!!!
Same!!!
If you’ve still got this pedal, I’d love to hear a comparison between it and the new EHX Walking On The Moon Andy Summers Flanger 🙏🏻
Was just watching the Summers vid! Will try grab one to compare since the Mattress had become my favourite mod pedal.
@@LeonTodd nice one, thanks mate!
@@LeonToddThe Waking on the Moon Flanger is exactly the same circuitry as the modern Electric Mistress. They said it’s just been re-named.
great video ,gonna get me one of these after i saw this ,sounds real good clean, thnx bud
I always dig your heavt rock stuff, but the intro song you did at the beginning of the video was really cool. Lets hear some more of that. Your strat sounds killer by the way!
Big late 70s/early 80s rush/police fan so you can count on it!
Welp, a flanger that isnt an AF2, that I want.
Hi, Flanger after or before distortion?,...cheers from Chile
I prefer before
Same here!.. nice demo!. Thanks!
Be Nice to see that in the Fractalverse 🤘
I've got some free blocks that match it!
@@LeonTodd I think I have all your Blocks 🙂
Does this pedal so full dry and full wet on the Blend knob?
Where you switched the filter over near the end it sounded like a Living End intro almost. Do you know if Chris used a Mistress/similar?
Not sure but I know that the Gretsch stuff he favours can have very honky sounding pickups
Why not just buy the Stereo Electric Mistress? I think EHX still produces it. It's also incorporated in the combo Epitome pedal
Build quality, form factor and vintage spec parts/tones. The same reason someone would go for a Friedman or Ceriatone over a modern Marshall.
@@LeonTodd The more compact size does seem a benefit. I just can't get past the silly name😂
Hahaha the silly name grew on me, now I love it
@@LeonToddBut, it's not even stereo? 😂
@@alexlifeson8946 Yes, it's stereo.
Wow
Change, nothing stays the same, oh change. nailed that =VH= sound. Hate that clean sound lol. So 80's Pop. That's just me. Great playing Dude.

With over drive sounds, for pink floyd for ex, whats the best sound?
At first, I thought maybe you were branching out and doing furniture reviews. 😒
would have sounded better with a real tube amp and not the digital modeler plastic distortion
