Strymon has expanded its acclaimed family of effects pedals with the Zelzah multidimensional phaser. Boasting two independent 4-stage and 6-stage phaser circuits that can be used separately: one at a time or simultaneously in series, parallel or split configurations — the Strymon Zelzah takes you on a spellbinding sonic experience by producing some of the most exquisite, spiralling and luscious modulation sounds we’ve ever heard — perfectly voiced with plenty of vibe!

A World of Modulation

The 4-stage phaser on the left side of the Zelzah offers 3 sweep modes that capture an array of nostalgic, vintage phaser and vibrato tones. Strymon call their Zelzah a “way back machine” for a reason! The 6-stage phaser algorithm (right side) can seamlessly venture into flanger and chorus territory via its versatile ‘Voice’ control, accompanied by a thoughtful resonance switch that richly alters the intensity.

Flexible 2-in-1 Design

As the Strymon Zelzah is essentially two different phasers in a single enclosure, you can configure it in a number of ways to maximise your pedalboard’s real-estate — becoming the only modulation pedal you may ever need. Dial in a chorus on one side and a barber-pole phaser on the other, or create a soaring flanger with a pulsating tremolo next door. Use the two sides independently, or together to achieve musical nirvana!

Key Features

  • Two independent effects that can be configured and controlled separately and used one at a time or simultaneously in series, parallel, or split configurations.
  • Vintage 4-stage phaser with three phaser sweep modes: classic, barber, and envelope.
  • Groundbreaking new 6-stage phaser algorithm with a continuous range from classic pure 6-stage phasing to flanging and chorus, all with adjustable resonance.
  • True stereo operation means, under the hood, each half of the pedal has two phasers running side by side (two 4-stage and two 6-stage)  or in series, with independently adjustable stereo spread for each.
  • All controls are carefully voiced to produce musically-useful sounds at any setting.
  • Adjustable input level switch to allow for both instrument and line level signals.
  • Selectable buffered or true bypass.
  • Full-featured MIDI implementation via TRS or USB supporting MIDI CCs, MIDI clock sync, and access to 300 preset locations.
  • High impedance, ultra low-noise discrete Class A JFET TRS stereo input.
  • Low impedance independent TS stereo outputs.
  • Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection.
  • USB jack for controlling via MIDI from a computer or for performing firmware updates.
  • Independent on/off footswitch for each phaser.
  • Premium JFET analogue front end.
  • Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters provide uncompromising audio quality.
  • Strong and lightweight anodised dark purple aluminium chassis.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.

Phaser

Phaser is a modulation effect that creates a smooth, swirling sound by splitting the signal and shifting the phase of one path before mixing it back with the original. As the phase shift is modulated, it produces moving peaks and dips in the frequency response, giving the effect its characteristic sweep.

It is commonly used to add movement and texture to guitars, keyboards, and other instruments, ranging from subtle and warm to deep and psychedelic. Phaser effects are strongly associated with classic funk, rock, and 1970s tones, but remain widely used in modern music for their fluid, musical character.
