The Strymon Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser Pedal is In stock available now for fast UK delivery online for £329 + Delivery. This excellent piece of kit is manufactured by Strymon and in New condition and comes with a great warranty.
Strymon has expanded its acclaimed family of effects pedals with the Zelzah multidimensional phaser. Boasting two independent phaser circuits that can be used separately, in series, in parallel or split — Zelzah takes you on a spellbinding sonic experience and produces some of the most exquisite, spiralling and luscious modulation sounds we've ever heard from a Strymon stompbox!
The 4-stage phaser on the left side of the Zelzah offers 3 sweep modes that take you from legendary vintage phasing tones all the way through to experimental effects that can effortlessly form complex, layered soundscapes — especially when fused with ambient pedals. Zelzah's 6-stage phaser (right side) can seamlessly venture into flanger and chorus territory via its 'Voice' control, accompanied by a thoughtful resonance switch that richly alters the intensity. Use both sides of the Strymon Zelzah in unison, and you'll achieve musical nirvana!
Key Features
Two completely independent phasers which can run separately: in series, in parallel or split.
One 6-stage and one 4-stage phaser, independently accessible via their own footswitch and set of controls.
6-stage phaser with continuous range from phasing to flanging to chorus, all with adjustable resonance.
4-stage phaser with 3 sweep modes: Classic (traditional rise-and-fall LFO with voicings that change in character as the 'Depth' knob is adjusted) Barber (constantly rising LFO with +ve or -ve polarity) and Envelope (touch sensitive env. phasing).
Switchable instrument/ line level input (high impedance ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET preamp) and selectable true or buffered bypass.
Dedicated 'Voice' control morphs between phasing and beautiful flanging, chorusing.
EXP/MIDI: Connect a Strymon MiniSwitch for remote selection of a favorite setting, or a Strymon MultiSwitch Plus for access to 3 presets. Connect a MIDI controller to either a Strymon Conduit or a Strymon MIDI EXP cable for access to 300 preset locations.
USB-C jack lets you connect to a computer to control via MIDI, and update firmware.
Analogue dry path for a zero latency dry signal that is never converted to digital.
High performance 480MHz ARM Superscalar processor, 32-bit floating point processing, 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters mean top audio quality.
Dimensions: 4.5" (D) x 7" (W) x 1.75" (H)
Designed and built in the USA.

A guitar phaser is an electronic effect used to alter the sound of a guitar by creating a series of peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum of the audio signal. This effect is achieved through a process called phase shifting, where the audio signal is split into two paths. One path remains unchanged, while the other is subjected to an all-pass filter that shifts its phase. When these two signals are recombined, they interfere with each other, creating the characteristic swooshing or swirling sound associated with phasers. This effect can add a sense of movement and depth to the guitar’s tone, making it a popular choice for both rhythm and lead playing.
Phasers often come with controls that allow the guitarist to manipulate various parameters of the effect. Common controls include the rate or speed of the phase shifting, which determines how quickly the peaks and troughs move through the frequency spectrum. Another typical control is the depth, which adjusts the intensity of the effect by varying the extent of the phase shift. Some phasers also offer resonance or feedback controls, which emphasize certain frequencies and can create more pronounced, dramatic effects. These adjustable parameters make the phaser a versatile tool, capable of producing subtle modulation to extreme, spacey sounds.
The phaser effect has a rich history in music, with notable usage across different genres. In the 1970s, phasers became particularly popular in rock and funk music, with bands like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones using them to create psychedelic and immersive soundscapes. Songs like “Breathe” by Pink Floyd and “Shattered” by The Rolling Stones showcase the distinct, swirling sound of the phaser. Over the years, phasers have continued to evolve, with modern digital models offering more precise control and additional features. Despite technological advancements, the core appeal of the phaser remains its ability to transform a guitar’s tone, adding a dynamic, textured quality that can enhance any musical piece.
