Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Electro-Harmonix Andy Summers Walking on the Moon is an analog flanger and filter matrix pedal based on the vintage Deluxe Electric Mistress circuit, developed in collaboration with Andy Summers of The Police. It reproduces the lush, chorus-like flanging heard on Police recordings including Walking on the Moon and Message in a Bottle, where Summers used the original Electric Mistress. Controls are Rate, Range, and Color, plus a Filter Matrix switch that freezes the LFO and holds the flanger at a fixed comb-filter position. True bypass.
The Ibanez FL-9 Flanger is a classic 1980s analog bucket-brigade flanger known for warm, lush, organic modulation and an unusually quiet, noise-free signal path compared to other analog flangers of its era. Its four controls, Speed, Width, Delay Time, and Regeneration, cover a wide range from subtle, chorus-like shimmer to dramatic, sweeping jet-engine effects, working equally well over clean and distorted tones. A modern reissue preserves the original vintage circuitry with improved manufacturing consistency. It suits classic rock and progressive players wanting authentic vintage analog flanging with genuine warmth rather than a harsher digital sweep.
