NEO MISTRESS
Compact Flanger
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix NEO MISTRESS!
The NEO MISTRESS is a compact, battery operated langer effects pedal
with ilter Matrix mode. Though simple to use, a plethora of different sounds
are available from the Neo Mistress’ two knobs: RATE and EEDBACK. Each
knob sweeps through a wide range of functionality; please read the
description below for each knob to obtain a complete understanding of their
abilities. The Neo Mistress is true bypass.
– CONTROLS –
RATE KNOB – controls the speed or rate of the L O signal that modulates
the langer. As you turn the RATE knob up, or clockwise, the speed of the
effect will increase. When the RATE knob is turned down below the 11
o’clock position (marked by a star near the knob), the Neo Mistress enters
ilter Matrix mode. In Filter Matrix mode the L O is disconnected from the
langer so that the langer is no longer modulated by the Neo Mistress’
internal modulation. Turning the RATE knob from full counter-clockwise to
the star symbol allows manual modulation of the langer’s position. You can
also fix the langer to one setting and, working in conjunction with the
EEDBACK knob, achieve resonant bell tones, steel drum effects and other
unique sounds. Turn the RATE knob above the 11 o’clock position (marked
by the star) to exit ilter Matrix Mode and return to L O modulation.
FEEDBACK KNOB – controls the “color” or “resonance” of the langer
effect. As the knob is turned up, the “depth” or “width” of the L O is also
increased to make the effect even more pronounced. Above the 3 o’clock
position, the EEDBACK knob pushes the langer very close to self-
oscillation, creating additional harmonics as it sweeps through the effect’s
range.
FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED – Use the footswitch to toggle between
bypass and effect modes. The Status LED will be off while in True Bypass
mode. The LED lights up upon engaging Effect mode with the footswitch.
In Effect mode, the LED’s color changes with the position of the langer: in
the bass range of the langer’s sweep, the LED is red; the LED is green in
the treble range of the sweep; in between, the LED is orange.

– I O –
INPUT JACK – Connect the output of your instrument or another effects
pedal to this jack. The input impedance presented at the INPUT jack is 1
MΩ.
AMP JACK – Connect the AMP jack to your amplifier input or the input of
another effects pedal. The output impedance at this jack is 1150Ω.
9V Power Jack – The NEO MISTRESS can run off of a 9V battery or you
can connect a 9VDC battery eliminator capable of delivering at least 100mA
to the 9V power jack. The optional 9V power supply from Electro-Harmonix
is 9.6DC-200BI (same as used by Boss
®
& Ibanez
®
) 9.6 Volts DC 200mA.
The power supply must have a barrel connector with center negative plug.
The battery may be left in or taken out when using a power supply. The
current draw for the NEO MISTRESS is 30mA.
