My Electric Mistress came yesterday and I had a chance to play with it some last night. It's more of a "swirly" flanger than a "whooshy" one, if you know what I mean. If you feed it an overdriven tone, then you get more of that "whoosh" effect, but it's not over the top, which I like. (The flanger model in my AD30VT is w-a-a-a-y too whooshy, IMO.)
With the sweep rate set low, the range (sweep width) set high, and the color (intensity) dialed up around 3/4, I was getting some very nice Gilmour-type sounds with my Strat. The controls are quite sensitive, so it's going to take some fooling around to find the "sweet spots", I can see. I did find that if you turn the rate up around 2/3 and the range down to about a quarter, you get a pretty good rotating speaker emulation.
I didn't spend much time yet in the "filter matrix" mode, which turns the sweep off. But by twiddling with the range control, it was possible to get kind of an octave-up chimey effect. Gotta play with that some more.
A couple of unusual features, as pedals go: The EM uses a 24V DC wall-wart, so forget about plugging in your 9V daisy-chain power adapter. No battery capability, but then I never use batteries anyway. The other weird thing is that there's no power LED, so the only way to know if it's on is to listen to what's coming out of your amp. I suppose I could wire one in, if I find the lack of an LED to be annoying after using it for a while.
Will try to get a couple of clips posted after I have time to get more familiar with the pedal....
