Can someone (please) compare MXR Fanger, Fulltone Choralflange, and the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress?

The Wiki has soundclips for the MXR and the Mistress:

Why isn't "about" in all caps, too?

If you must shout to be sure that we all hear you making a fool of yourself, you should at least commit. Your text body, location, even your handle are all in caps.... What is it about "about" that doesn't warrant some weight on the shift key?

COME ON, MAN.

Okay, maybe the fool part was a bit much... but I wasn't really annoyed. Just pulling his leg. IT'S JUST EASIER WHEN PEOPLE TALK LIKE THIS.

IMAGINE IF YOU HAD A FRIEND THAT SPOKE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME IN REAL LIFE. YOU COULDN'T TAKE HIM TO A MOVIE. DEFINITELY NO TO RELATIONSHIPS - NOTHING LIKE BELLOWING SWEET NOTHINGS UPSIDE SOMEONE'S HEAD. DRIVE-THROUGH? FORGET ABOUT IT. PHONE CALLS? NOPE.

I think it'd be kind of cool... at least for a while.

Reminds me of a SNL skit that I think Will Farrel did where he had auditory volume control issues and couldn't control the volume of his voice...funny stuff.

To answer the original post: Yes, someone can certainly compare these pedals. Not me as I don't have any of them- sorry.

I'll try to help, but I have neither the MXR Flanger nor the Fulltone Choralflange. I can, however, compare the Boss BF-3, the Danelectro Psycho Flange, the DEM, and the DOD FX-75B. Granted, I, personally, have only owned one Boss pedal - the RT-20, which I still have and frequently use - nevertheless, I can do this.

The Psycho Flange is not your thing, if you're asking to compare the traditional-sounding MXR, the presumably-old-school-sounding Fulltone, and the definitely older-than-new-school-sounding DEM. Of those three, I'd say get either the Fulltone or the DEM. Not because I don't like MXR - I am still aiming to buy a Carbon Copy, and their EVH Phase 90 is, and I'm reluctant to say it (I do not like Eddie Van Halen very much), superior to every phaser I've heard but three: The Small Stone (actually, the Nano model is the best, in my book), the Polyphase, and the Roland Jet Phase) - but because they're more versatile. The Choralflange has, well, a chorus function, and the DEM has a Filter Matrix option. From there, it's all personal preference. I'd even consider the Stereo Electric Mistress, which is absolutely adored around here - I've never had the luxury (nor the need, now) to try one.

But, the Fulltone is über-difficult to find, and the DEM is probably being discontinued, like all of their large effects are. So, the MXR would certainly be the most economical choice. The EVH model will probably be even easier to get, because, sadly, HIS name moves units.

I know this last sentence to be true in this country, but all three of these pedals are built in the United States, and Greece is very much not the United States. Nor is it especially close, geographically. Does my statement stand true in the European Union, as well?

THE REASON OF WRITING WITH CAPITOL LETTERS IS THAT IT'S MORE COMFORTABLE FOR ME. NOW, IF YOU THINK IS TOO LOUD, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOW THE VOLUME ON YOUR PC. (BESIDES IT'S ONLY READING).!!
ANYWAY, (NO HARD FEELINGS).!!

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF CHORUS "WILL HEGGIE",(COCTEAU TWINS,LOWLIFE), USES.!!

THANKS A LOT.........

Well, Cocteau Twins were from a time where frosted hair looked good on guys, so I'm guessing, and this is only guessing, a Chorus Ensemble (the CE-1), a rackmount Yamaha (like Duff McKagen uses), or some other, analog, long-discontinued, rack-mounted unit. Or, I could be way off, and he's rockin' a Boss Dimension C, in which case, you're really, really, really screwed (not only are they discontinued, the people who own them won't even let you SEE them, to say nothing of using them). Unless you want the Behringer copy, which is available for quite a reasonable price.

And, more importantly, why wait five months to reply to something I (specifically) said? I'm not THAT interesting.

IT'S COOL, I WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
