Which electric mistress

Machines were rigged up in order to formulate what came to be known as a comb filter, made by playing overlapping audio signals where one was delayed by a very short amount of time. The name itself came from the part of the tape machine that an engineer would have to press on to delay the signal.

Everyone had to have it. But unfortunately, live implementation was impossible. That opened the door for several companies, but Electro-Harmonix made the most lasting impression with the Electric Mistress. Even though the only upgrade to the Deluxe involved the elimination of batteries in lieu of an onboard transformer, the name was enough to attract players in droves.

This mild mannered chip found its way into nearly all time-based effects. In one fell swoop, tape echoes, tape-based double tracking and chorus effects, and to a lesser extent reverb units were rendered obsolete. Like on final cut or dogs. Then again they sound a lot alike and both produce great tones. I love his tones on that album but they are a bit darker and muddier than Animals and Final Cut. The Yahama sounds more chorusy while the Mistress has that slight jet swoosh… Of course, mic placement makes a huge difference for modulation tones.

I agree about his solo album being sort of muddier. Animals is my second favorite. I like his mistress tones but the yamaha has always been my favorite. I just hope he uses his yamahas on his next album and tour!
