Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress

The Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress is a flanging effects pedal.

This pedal was the one which helped Andy Summers develop his signature guitar tone, which was included in his Pete Cornish custom FX board. Andy often dialled the Electric Mistress in a way that produced a shimmering chorus-like effect, heard on songs like "Message In A Bottle", "Don't Stand So Close To Me" and "Walking On The Moon" (though it's since been suggested the tone on the latter was achieved with a studio flanging unit on the record). This could have been achieved with the following settings: Rate to 6.5, Range to 8, Color to 3 and Filter Matrix switch set to flanger setting.

There is a slightly detuned 'warbling' sound on "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da", which was probably down to setting a long delay time on the Electric Mistress.
