NEO MISTRESS
Compact Flanger
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix NEO MISTRESS!
The NEO MISTRESS is a compact, battery operated Flanger effects pedal
with Filter Matrix mode. Though simple to use, a plethora of different sounds
are available from the Neo Mistress' two knobs: RATE and FEEDBACK. Each
knob sweeps through a wide range of functionality; please read the
description below for each knob to obtain a complete understanding of their
abilities. The Neo Mistress is true bypass.
– CONTROLS –
RATE KNOB – controls the speed or rate of the LFO signal that modulates
the Flanger. As you turn the RATE knob up, or clockwise, the speed of the
effect will increase. When the RATE knob is turned down below the 11
o'clock position (marked by a star near the knob), the Neo Mistress enters
Filter Matrix mode. In Filter Matrix mode the LFO is disconnected from the
Flanger so that the Flanger is no longer modulated by the Neo Mistress'
internal modulation. Turning the RATE knob from full counter-clockwise to
the star symbol allows manual modulation of the Flanger's position. You can
also fix the Flanger to one setting and, working in conjunction with the
FEEDBACK knob, achieve resonant bell tones, steel drum effects and other
unique sounds. Turn the RATE knob above the 11 o'clock position (marked
by the star) to exit Filter Matrix Mode and return to LFO modulation.
FEEDBACK KNOB – controls the "color" or "resonance" of the Flanger
effect. As the knob is turned up, the "depth" or "width" of the LFO is also
increased to make the effect even more pronounced. Above the 3 o'clock
position, the FEEDBACK knob pushes the Flanger very close to self-
oscillation, creating additional harmonics as it sweeps through the effect's
range.
FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED – Use the footswitch to toggle between
bypass and effect modes. The Status LED will be off while in True Bypass
mode. The LED lights up upon engaging Effect mode with the footswitch.
In Effect mode, the LED's color changes with the position of the Flanger: in
the bass range of the Flanger's sweep, the LED is red; the LED is green in
the treble range of the sweep; in between, the LED is orange.
