The Mooer Eleclady is a mini flanger pedal that puts 70s-style flanging on a pedalboard at a fraction of the usual footprint. MusicRadar's review described it plainly: "The ElecLady provides 70s-style flanging at about one-sixth of the usual size."1
It takes its inspiration from the Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress, and the connection is not subtle. As MusicRadar's reviewer Trevor Curwen put it, "No prizes for guessing where the Eleclady derives her inspiration - the pedal even has its name in the same font as Elec."1
What it does
The Eleclady gives players the classic jet-style flange associated with 1970s pedal designs, but in a housing small enough to fit alongside other mini pedals. MusicRadar's reviewer highlighted three reasons to consider it: "Compact size. Filter mode. Familiar sound."1
A switch selects between filter and normal modes, giving the Eleclady a filter-matrix style option alongside its standard flanging, echoing a feature of the original Mistress design.1
Controls
The pedal carries over the control layout of the pedal it is modeled on. As MusicRadar noted, it "features the same controls, with knobs for Color, Rate and Range."1
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| Color | Shapes the flange character1 |
| Rate | Sets the speed of the flange sweep1 |
| Range | Sets the depth of the flange sweep1 |
| Mode switch | Selects filter or normal mode1 |
How it sounds
The ElecLady is a compact flanger modeled on the Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress, offering 70s-style flanging at about one-sixth of the usual size, with knobs for Color, Rate and Range. One reviewer noted that "this is a much tidier flange than its 70s predecessor."21
Where it sits among flangers
Players comparing compact flangers will find the Eleclady sits alongside other mini-format options such as the MXR M152 Micro Flanger and the Ibanez Flanger Mini. Its distinguishing feature is the filter mode, which most mini flangers do not offer, and its direct lineage from the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress design.1
For players wanting a larger pedal with more controls, the full-size Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress XO carries the same heritage in a standard enclosure.1
