Electro-Harmonix Andy Summers Walking on the Moon

Electro-Harmonix · pedal

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.

What stands out

  • “The Filter Matrix mode freezes the comb filter at a fixed tuning, usable as a static phase-coloration effect or mild tonal modifier on chord passages where LFO movement would be distracting”

    — from the reviews

  • “The Walking on the Moon flanger is widely described as one of the most chorus-sounding flangers available — its mild, lush modulation sits far closer to a rich chorus than aggressive jet-flange, particularly at gentle Rate settings”

    — from the community notes

  • “plus a filter matrix switch that freezes the lfo and holds the flanger at a fixed comb-filter position”

    — from the listing

  • “The Filter Matrix mode is unique: it freezes the LFO to create a fixed phase-comb coloration ideal for chord work where movement would blur harmonic content”

    — from the community notes

  • “True bypass”
