    I’m on my phone but I can’t see anything different from all of the other Mistresses I’ve seen.

    Took me a second to spot it, the black painted box around the foot switch covers more area and the electro-harmonix name is inside the black box rather than below it.

    A rarer paint style, yes, but no, not a one of a kind https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/2962/#26271

    I hate “rare paint job” posts.

    If you’re looking for a really rare version of the Mistress, I have a first production run that not only has different graphics, it also doesn’t have a filter matrix switch.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a paint variation really affect the value of an EHX pedal, they were quite common and it’s not a huge variation so i’d expect to get an average price for it.

    I’m generalising for all EHX pedals, a green deluxe electric mistress doesn’t go for any more than a silver one or a silver polyphase vs a blue one etc. EHX just switched styles here and there, I don’t think you can really expect any more for it just because it’s slightly different. If it was a one of a kind bright purple model (no, that doesn’t exist) you might squeeze a little more out of it for novelty sake, although I had a purple memory man which is the only one i’ve seen and got nothing extra. It’s not like you’re giving it away anyway.

    No, it wasn’t made for the ad, as I linked earlier, there’s another that looks the same and i’ve seen more over the years. EHX obviously at some point decided they preferred the later aesthetic so more were produced in that variation. I know you want it to be unique and worth more but i’m afraid it’s not.
