Unlike analog Deluxe Electric Mistress, the Stereo Electric Mistress pedal is a digital format smaller, even if it is wider than a boss for example. Metal case, looks solid.
2 effects are available: Flanger (like her big sister) and chorus.
Depth (depth) of the 2 effects is adjustable via 2 faders. A third volume pot used to adjust the "rate" (frequency) of the flanger. The frequency of the chorus is by default a very small offset to the flanger. No memory settings "at random", the former as an analog pedal. Only one indicator (flashing yellow to red) indicates the "rate" flanger.
An instrument input, 2 outputs (requires stereo) jacks.
A 9-volt power supply type boss provided in the box.
UTILIZATION
Manual unnecessary. A deal on instinct. 3 pots: rate, depth flanger and chorus depth. A breeze.
SOUND QUALITY
A good demo is better than any words:

You'll understand: this pedal produces sounds rather vintage, superb quality, with a typical grain electro-harmonix, which I love. Entire depth range is usable, even if pushed forward, it gets really weird sounds. The ability to color the chorus flanger creates a turning point and softens the result. The filter matrix is more remarkable: it "freezes" the flanger on a particular sound frequency, to produce sounds really amazing: your guitar starts to sound like a harpsichord from outer space!
OVERALL OPINION
I hesitated between several effects, my wish is to color certain passages in songs where it was needed. Phaser? Flanger? Chorus? This pedal gives me 2 effects in one, with outstanding sound quality (warmth, inimitable grain), a broad palette of sounds and a more reasonable size that the model "deluxe".
I just hope that this beautiful object will withstand the test of time!
