    A pedal dedicated completely to the filter matrix of the electric mistress, more along the lines of the deluxe, would be great. I seem to use the filter matrix on my dem much more than the rather. However, I don’t know what the features would be. But it still seems like a cool idea. If anyone has already suggested this idea, my bad.

    I think it’d be cool.

    well, it can make your guitar sound quite metallic, if that makes sense. it’s useful to me as i use it very often in the music that i write. i think any sound can be useful to someone. but regardless of whether i run keys or guitar through it, i love the tones i can get when the filter is engaged. i know it’s very, very unlikely that ehx will produce a box solely for the filter matrix, but it’s a dream that i love to dream.

    The filter matrix is also featured on the original vintage Electric Mistress (both 9v and 18v versions), the vintage EchoFlanger/PolyFlange/PolyChorus units, the reissued Stereo PolyChorus, and the new XO Stereo Electric Mistress. That’s quite a few pedals to choose from already.

    is through zero flanging similar to a filter matrix? because i’m not sure as to what it sounds like and i think the flanger hoax can get through zero flanging.

    There are websites out there that can give the technical definitions of each.

    In laymans terms, a through zero flanger set to do the jet-plane swoosh will eventually pass through a notch of silence (the zero point).

    The filter matrix freezes a notch, so it behaves more like a sort of metallic sounding equalizer.

    I think the filter matrix is just a flanger without modulation, so actually just a very short delay

    ….when I had a Stereo Electric Mistress I used to call it ‘frozen flanger’ it’s just like turning the sweep off at a specific point…… which is probably what you just said. 😆

    … with a very slight detune on the delayed signal. What’s missing is the LFO.

    Are you sure, for a detune the delay time has to change?

    ok, thanks for clearing that up for me!

    does anyone know if the flanger hoax is able to get filter matrix sounds?

    It is, unfortunately i can’t tell you how just yet! I own the pedal for what, 3 months now and i still have absolutely no idea how it works!!! :facepalm: :freak: Every time i use it it is like trying to pilot the Enterprise :poke: . I will try it tomorrow and give you the settings if i manage to get the sound. I know i did before!

    and then there’s all the thousands of ‘4 knob flangers’ that can be dialed in to the filter matrix and i’m sure you can mod any analogue flanger to turn off the sweep somehow. doesn’t seem that necessary to have it in a standalone box.

    Well, it could be a nano pedal with a knob to find the desired freq. And maybe a switch for… Well, I’ll leave that to EHX haha. I’t does not seem like a totally bad idea, maybe a little bit underrated, but there are some EHX pedals that are underrated and currently on production…
