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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.39% — somewhat different

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.
PastFX is a boutique pedal builder known for playful, evocative product names, and the Deluxe Elastic Mattress is the brand's flanger offering, with the whimsical naming hinting at the pedal's intended character, a bouncy, deep, spring-like sweep rather than a subtle, understated modulation. Flanger pedals in general work by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, creating the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, and PastFX's boutique approach suggests a hand-tuned take on that classic sound rather than a straightforward reissue of an existing flanger circuit. Specific control layout and sweep range for this exact model aren't confirmed from available sources.
