The Mooer ElecLady is a clone of the classic EH Dlx Electric Mistress, and I have to admit this little gem is convincingly accurate to the original. If you've never heard the Mistress, it is unlike most flangers you typically hear, most notably because it is commonly used as a subtle effect much like the classic 70's MXR Phase 90. It doesn't overpower your original signal/tone, but rather adds a unique flavor and character to your sound. The Mistress was used extensively by David Gilmour on the Animals and The Wall Pink Floyd albums. That being said, it does have the ability to create the more typical "jet plane" flange sounds ala VanHalen. I prefer the subtle effect, which is why I bought this (to recreate those classic Floyd tones). It does not disappoint. I haven't experimented too much with the filter mode but I did get some really wonderful chimey/bell like tones with it. Interesting stuff I will certainly explore further. For the Floyd tones I have it set as: rate(big knob) at 3:00, color at 9- 10:00, and the range fully off. All in all I admit I was kinda skeptical that Mooer could pull it off but somehow they did it. The EH Dlx Mistress does sound a bit warmer I suppose but this little lady really shines. And she's a cheap date. What more could you ask for? Fantastic budget alternative to the original Mistress. Highly recommended! Also like to note that it plays exceptionally well with other pedals. I've found this to be a problem with other budget pedals I've used in the past. Not so with the ElecLady. She loves company.
Sound
Sound quality is suprisingly good. Responsive and versatile.
Features
The range and color knobs are very small, but the size of this pedal doesn't allow for anything bigger. Will fit on ANY pedalboard no matter how cramped so I'd say it's an even trade. Keep in mind it's a budget pedal and should be expected. I've no problem with it at all. Would seem a petty gripe IMO.
Ease of Use
Easily tweakable. Pretty straightforward.
Quality
Seems to be made very well. Solid footswitch. Don't expect any problems but time will tell. I'm not hard on my equipment. Don't remember ever breaking any gear I've owned.
Value
Definitely worth the price of admission. Definitely.
Manufacturer Support
No contact with Mooer ever, so I couldn't say.
The Wow Factor
I absolutely love what this pedal brings to my tone palette. Couldn't live without it.
