The Character

Metallic, Lush, Airy Classic Analog

The Electric Mistress defined the sound of flanger in the late 70s. That liquid, sweeping character appeared on records from artists exploring psychedelic textures and spatial depth. The Eclectic Temptress takes that sonic foundation and builds something new.

This isn't a clone. It's an original design inspired by that character — metallic midrange presence, chewy modulation, lush sweeps, and an airy top end that sits in the mix without dominating it.

The MN3004 Difference

The MN3004 bucket-brigade chip is at the heart of this pedal. It's the same family of chips that powered the classic flangers of the 70s, but configured unconventionally here — running in what we call "banana mode" with reversed voltage rails.

This isn't just for novelty. It changes the biasing, the headroom, and the harmonic character. The result is a flanger that sounds vintage but behaves differently than the originals.

Dry/Wet Blend Control

Classic flangers from that era had a specific dry/wet balance baked into the circuit. You got what you got. The Eclectic Temptress gives you control over that blend.

This means you can dial in subtle chorus-like thickening, classic jet-sweep flanging, or push it into psychedelic territory. The Mood control shapes the midrange character and metallic presence independent of the blend.

Seduce vs. Trance
The toggle switch changes the modulation depth and sweep range. Seduce mode delivers classic, lush sweeps — the sound that defined records in the late 70s and early 80s. Trance mode goes deeper, slower, more hypnotic. It's for when you want the flanger to take over and become the centerpiece of the sound.
Limited Edition

Fewer Than 100. Numbered. Signed.

This is not a production run. Fewer than 100 Eclectic Temptress pedals will ever be made. Each unit is numbered, signed, and built by hand in Dallas, TX.

The MN3004 chip is no longer in production. Supply is limited. Once these are gone, they're gone.

Why So Few?

The MN3004 chip supply is finite. We're not cutting corners or using substitutes. Every pedal gets a genuine MN3004, hand-selected and tested.

This also isn't a pedal designed for mass production. The circuit is complex, the biasing is unconventional, and every unit requires individual attention during assembly and testing.

Fewer than 100 units means this is a collector's piece, not just a tool.

What You Get

  • Numbered unit (X of <100) engraved on the enclosure
  • Hand-signed by the builder
  • Certificate of authenticity with build date and serial number
  • All-analog signal path with MN3004 bucket-brigade chip

This is a serious instrument for serious players. Not a mass-market product.

The Controls

Four Knobs. Two Modes.

Pulse (Rate)
Controls the speed of the modulation sweep. Slow for classic liquid sweeps, fast for aggressive jet sounds. The LFO runs from 0.35 Hz at minimum to full psychedelic swirl at maximum.
Sway (Depth)
Controls how wide the flanger sweeps. Low settings give subtle movement and chorus-like thickening. High settings deliver full jet-sweep flanging with pronounced peaks and notches.
Mood (Color)
Shapes the midrange character and metallic presence. This is the secret weapon — it pops mids, adds harmonic content, and gives the flanger its signature chewy, airy character. Mistress-style dry/wet blend is built into this control.
Seduce / Trance Toggle
Switches between two modulation modes. Seduce delivers classic lush sweeps inspired by late 70s tones. Trance goes deeper and slower for hypnotic, psychedelic textures. Changes the entire feel of the pedal.
The Origin

Chasing a Sound That Defined an Era

The Electric Mistress defined the sound of flanger in the late 70s. That liquid, sweeping character appeared on records from artists exploring psychedelic textures and spatial depth — from progressive rock to post-punk to new wave.

But the original pedals are rare, expensive, inconsistent, and often noisy. The reissues sound different. The clones miss the character.

The Eclectic Temptress started with a question: could we capture that metallic, lush, airy character in an original design — not a clone — that improves on the limitations of the original?

The answer required years of development. Unconventional MN3004 biasing. Custom dry/wet blend control. A Mood knob that shapes midrange character independently. Two distinct modulation modes.

This is not a vintage recreation. It's inspired by that era but built for modern players who want that character without the compromises.
