Frequently Asked Questions - Neo Mistress Electro Harmonix

What power supply should I use for the Neo Mistress?

Use a standard 9V DC adapter with center negative polarity and at least 20 mA current capability. A 9V battery can also be used for portable operation.

How do I achieve a classic flanger sound?

Set Rate to 12 o'clock, Depth to 3 o'clock, and Regeneration to 10 o'clock. Adjust the Filter Matrix switch to 'Normal' for a traditional flanger effect.

Can I use the Neo Mistress with a bass guitar?

Yes, the Neo Mistress works well with bass due to its wide frequency response. Use lower Depth settings to avoid excessive low-end modulation.

What does the Filter Matrix switch do?

The Filter Matrix switch alters the flanger's filter response. 'Normal' provides a standard flanger sweep, while 'Invert' reverses the phase for a different character.

Is the Neo Mistress true bypass?

Yes, the Neo Mistress features true bypass, ensuring your guitar signal remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.

Why is there no sound when I engage the pedal?

Check that the power supply is connected and the input/output jacks are fully inserted. Also verify that the instrument cable is working and the volume on your amplifier is turned up.

Can I run the Neo Mistress at 18V?

No, the Neo Mistress is designed for 9V only. Using a higher voltage can damage the pedal.

How do I clean the pedal?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any liquids or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the finish or internal components.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is available for free download on the Electro Harmonix website or at notice-facile.com.

What is the warranty period?

Electro Harmonix offers a one-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. Retain your receipt for service.

electro-harmonix NEO MISTRESS

Compact Flanger

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix NEO MISTRESS! The NEO MISTRESS is a compact, battery operated Flanger effects pedal with Filter Matrix mode. Though simple to use, a plethora of different sounds are available from the Neo Mistress' two knobs: RATE and FEEDBACK. 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 -

t RATE KNOB – controls the speed or rate of the LFO signal that modulates the Flanger. 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 Filter Matrix mode. In Filter Matrix mode the LFO is disconnected from the Flanger so that the Flanger 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 Flanger's position. You can also fix the Flanger to one setting and, working in conjunction with the FEEDBACK 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 Filter Matrix Mode and return to LFO modulation.

FEEDBACK KNOB – controls the "color" or "resonance" of the Flanger effect. As the knob is turned up, the "depth" or "width" of the LFO is also increased to make the effect even more pronounced. Above the 3 o'clock position, the FEEDBACK knob pushes the Flanger 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 Flanger: in the bass range of the Flanger'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.
