Mooer E-Lady Reviews

A very good alternative to the original

If you're not looking to spend 300€+ for an original Electric Mistress this is a very easy decision. This pedal has no competition in its price range. You will get very cool Gilmour-esque and Andy Summer-esque sounds from it. It looks well made. To be perfectly frank however, I did opt to get an original Mistress not too long ago, and there is quite a difference in sound, to my ears at least. However, I don't say one is better sounding to the other one per-se, I was just surprised how different they sounded since I keep hearing that the mooer clone is 99% identical to the original.

great for the price.

i have the original big box from the 90s EHX lady and i can confirm this mini enclosure box can deliver the tonz. the only thing i dont like its the knobs. i wanted them to be of better plastic quality. other than that good job mooer.

It is what you expect

Dont expect a high quality pedal. Plastic case, the DC input was quite loose so I had to firm it a little bit. But its a very good sounding pedal and with a very affordable price. Worth the money.

Nice job

It does make an incredible impression of the Electric Mistress. The sound is sweet and can go from subtle flanging to a chorusy mega-wharbled flange by dialing in the right amount of "range". You can even dial it to make it sound like a pseudo fast leslie sound and it sounds great. It does drop the volume slightly, and it's especialy noticeable when used in the fx loop of the amp... But still not as bad as the original did.

It's the cheapest and one of the longest standing pedals on my pedalboard, and that speaks for itself, I guess.

Among the greatest flangers out there!

This is a brilliant flanger, similar to the Deluxe Mistress. Using this to achieve the 70's sound of David Gilmour, it does it brilliantly. Control knobs can be hard to control but when you find the right setting, it is amazingly close to the flangers of eldern days.

Mooer did it again. Classic flanger on a tiny box.

After experimenting other similar pedals I must say that this little device does the job. Impressive how on a very small footprint you get that classic flanger sound used by so many British great bands of the 70s and 80s. Can be used on both home and gigs. Robust. Controls are easy to use although you have very small knobs. Was not so easy to find the tones I wanted but I've managed with some trial and error. Well, I guess i'm felling comfortably numb, or so lonely?... Gonna try again!

Good for price

This flanger pedal produces quite some surprising tones for its price range. Looks sturdy and durable too.

However, the color pot is useless higher than 2 o'clock, for raising it just a tad bit higher produces loud screeching noise. The internet tells me it is supposed to be like that, but yeah, to each its own.

However, i could not find a budget flanger that i liked more than this one.

Best for the price

Very impressed with this little guy for the price. Very responsive and versatile, it's very easy to get lost in the amount of cool sounds, specially with a delay and a reverb. Bought it to use with a microbrute synth, but it very cool with my guitars too.

Great flanger in a small package with a great price too!

Even Daniel Steinhardt (That Pedal Show) likes it...

I can hear it when it's off!

I've heard great things about this little pedal so I decided to get one. However, firstly I was very disappointed with the build quality (then again what do you expect for a cheap pedal)........the power input isn't fully secured and was a little loose on my pedal. But I was more disappointed with how I could sometimes hear it when it was bypassed. It was quite subtle and only lasted a couple of seconds, but on more than one occassion I could hear a flange effect with the pedal off. And I wasn't using any other modulation pedals at the time.

For anyone who wants the Electric Mistress vibe you could risk getting one of these if you find it cheap enough, you might get lucky. I may have just gotten a bad one.

Excellent flanger

Very good analog flanger, way better than the digital ones. Knobs are very small and difficult to handle, especially live. I dont like much the filter mode, so I always use it as a normal flanger, but you can control the sound pretty effectively, for an excellent price: paying more than double for boutique flangers is a non sense to me

Great pedal especially for the price

I use this pedal for psychedelic playing. This + reverb + strong bass guitar and rhythmic slow drums is just epic psychedelia.

What I really love about this pedal is, first of all, its price, and, secondly, its features! Not only you can control the depth and rate, but also the intensity - from very subtle to jet flyby to glitch sounds which I love!

The only small drive back is that its difficult to quickly adjust the tiny knobs. If you're playing at a gig and need to decrease depth, for instance, forget about doing it with your feet. However, that really isn't a big problem. The compact size more than compensates for it.

Buy it while it's still so cheap!

Fantastic flanger

Pros - Great sound,quiet in use, compact, easy to dial in, true bypass

Con - Tiny secondary knobs

I use the E-Lady to get Gilmour and Police type tones at home and on the occasional gig, and it does its job absolutely perfectly. As well as these sounds it covers a variety of other tones, never sounding anything other than thick and full as you would want from a vintage-flavoured flanger.

All this comes in a tiny footprint, which is great for a crowded pedalboard, but unfortunately means that some of the controls are very small and not very easy to see when standing. However, once set this is as good a flanger as you're going to find, and for a very reasonable price.

Well made unit

As with all their pedals this is a really well made and solid unit. The controls are simple and easy to set - as are levels.

The sound is good and gives me the flexibility I need on stage.
