    This might be a pretty easy question for some of you. I know that the SEM has stereo, and chorus, but what makes it different from the DEM, other than that? I know there has to be some difference if they are both still in production.

    I’ve played on a DEM but never had the chance to play a SEM. And I want to buy one, so I just want some feedback on that.

    Which is your favorite and why?

    The biggest difference is that the ‘Deluxe’ is analogue and the ‘Stereo’ is digital. They actually sound pretty different, The DEM has the ‘classic’ Electric Mistress sound, the Stereo Electric Mistress has a more ‘modern sound’ stereo outputs and is probably capable of more variations of chorus/flanger type sounds. I think they both sound really good and it would probably come down to which you personally prefered the sound of…… oh and the SEM has an awesome multi coloured LED! :)

    So when EHX makes a “deluxe” model and a “stereo” model, they are usually analog and digital, like in the memory man? Is this a constant?

    Also, what if I had the DEM and a nano chorus? Would that give some of the same variations or perhaps more since I could set them at different rates and depths?

    I’d say go with the small clone instead of the nano clone this way you have the depth switch to get more sounds out of it. i think you’d get more sounds if you get both than getting just the Stereo Electric Mistress. It would be more money, but i think it’s worth it.

    Several of the pedals say “stereo” such as the Memory man, Electric Mistress, and the Clone Theory, to name a few. However except for the MM, I dont see any description that says if they are analog or digital. I assume that they are digital since the MM and EM stereo versions are digital, but the EM doesnt say it’s digital anywhere that I’ve seen. So am I to assume that any pedal that says “stereo” is digital?

    Just because it says stereo, doesn’t mean it’s digital. The Stereo Polychorus is analog. By the way, I prefer the Deluxe Electric Mistress.

    So what about the Stereo Clone Theory, that seems more versitile than the Small Clone. Is the SCT analog or digital? Wouldn’t that be more desireable than the Small Clone?

    I’m probably asking dumb questions, but I gotta find out

    Stereo Clone Thoery is analogue….and I didn’t like it much …..I prefer the Stereo EM and Small Clone to that one.

    Not necessarily

    stereo pulsar and stereo clone theory are both analog.

    Plus there is the old stereo memory man (completely different than one with hazarai) that was analog.

    I don’t know much about the Marshall RG-1.

    As for what chorus/flange- what kind of music do you play? The polychorus has a very distinct recognizable sound that you may or may not like.

    Kasabian.

    Hmmmm. That’s a British group.

    MelX needs to get his butt in here, because he could advise you better than I could.

    I’m going to guess and say that the Stereo Electric Mistress fits your style more, and I’m thinking MelX will agree.
