We eagerly await each new release from our pals at Strymon, as many of you do, and their latest is an absolute mindbender. The Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser, aside from having a wicked rad name, is a modulation pedal like no other. Focusing on phasing, it also sports elements of chorus, vibrato, flanger and tremolo, all while sweeping an enormous range of phaser tones, modern and vintage. Grab your headphones and strap in, we’re going for a ride…
The Zelzah is made up of two independent phaser sides, a 4-Stage and a 6-Stage. Both feature control sections that seem relatively simple, but once you dive into a Strymon pedal, you know you’re in for a treat. Lots of hidden gems lurk beneath the surface here, along with a plethora of gorgeous, high-quality phaser sounds that will leave your jaw on the floor. The 4-Stage side boasts a wide array of classic sounds, while the 6-Stage portion let you get even phasier, along with creating chorus, flanger and vibrato tones in a snap.
Aside from the incredible list of modulation sounds you can create and explore, there are the always welcomed Strymon extras! On the Zelzah, these include True Stereo routing (inputs and outputs), MIDI control via TRS or USB and Expression pedal control. The high-quality audio features a premium JFET analog front end, high performance & ultra low-noise 24-bit, 96kHz A/D & D/A converters, a 480MHz Superscalar processor, 32-bit floating point processing and 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The hidden control allow you to fine tune your phasing machine, by adjusting Stereo Spread, signal routing, polarity, MIDI clock sync, input level and more.
As usual, talking about a Strymon pedal can only get you so far – below, we take a jaunt down Zelzah Lane, stopping to explore, create and discover all this wonderful purple machine has to offer. Although you’ll have the urge to watch it on your phone, we HIGHLY recommend waiting until you’re home, tossing on your favorite headphones and watching on the biggest screen you can, to truly feel the powerful sounds and see the 4K video in all its glory. Cheers over and over and over again to the Strymon crew on another slam dunk of a pedal – they already have so much effects ground covered (and covered well) – the fact that they still are pushing the envelope is a testament to their commitment to the effects world. All the info you could ever want about the Strymon Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser is on their website – head over there as soon as you finish the demo! Cheers!
