Strymon Zelzah – Modulation Pedal – Intro

Way Back Machine.

Step on Zelzah, play one chord, and you’re instantly taken back to a world of classic phaser tones as they were always meant to sound, perfectly voiced, with tons of vibe. Vintage 4-stage and 6-stage phasing with controls that allow seamless transitions to vibrato, gorgeous flanging and chorus, and new sounds never heard before—all instantly musical with great tone all the way across every dial.

Two Effects At Once.

Zelzah is actually two different phasers, side by side in one pedal. Zelzah’s 4-stage side gives you a wide array of classic tones ranging from phasing to vibrato and even unique and expressive envelope phaser sounds, while the 6-stage side provides phasing, flanging, chorus, and all points in between. Dial in a chorus on one side and barber pole phaser on other, or a phaser on one side and tremolo on the other. Use the two sides independently or together in a variety of configurations. Zelzah may become the only modulation pedal you keep on your board.

I got mine today and checked out two of the samples settings shown on the 3-page fold out. I played around for 20 minutes in a mono setup. The sounds are incredible clean and with OD and Distortion. I’m an analog man. This sounds better than my MXR Phase 95. After watching Pete’s videos and checking this out for a brief span, I can already see this device is capable of a vast array of modulation sounds. It’s very warm sounding. I had the thought when I purchased it that $349 is a lot of money. But now I think it’s worth every penny. I was inspired playing clean and dirty and funky. I really feel this is a great addition to my pedal collection. Do it! Buy this pedal.

Ten Years Gone in a box. Love this so much. Will have to get my hands on one soon. ❤️

Feeling those beautiful 1977 vibrations man!

[rodrigoguimaraesdasilva]

Strymon is another level of excelence.

[davidreilly]

Really good demo. Because: no face, no talk, moves fast, describes and shows the move while the sound plays then moves on.

Matt Piper does it again! Great production value. I haven't bought a pedal in 19 years, but now considering it...

[ForestBaileyMusic]

Wow! So lush! This is going on my board ASAP.

[luisrodriguesmusic]

Strymon, a class act.
Sounds fabulous!!

[viloriajd]

What a killer tone! It sounds amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[TheTinMan]

It’s a winner, Strymon make some of the finest pedals 👍

[DanChippendaleMusic]

Looking forward to seeing how this performs with synths. Got a Night Sky a month ago and I'm so impressed. My first Strymon pedal. I think I'm hooked 😎

Matt Piper knocks this out of the park.
Strymon does too, of course!

[picksalot]

That's quite a 1970's Disco Time Machine you got there.

[ImproSonoPez]

Pigeon Playing Ping Pong would love this one!

[model_number_band]

This sounds amazing... The only thing that seems to be missing is a ramping function, a la the great Maestro Stage Phasers. I have the Flint and El Cap on my board, but my Castilleja Phaser is staying put. That said, this is sonically lovely!!

[sayhuhhhh]

Dammit - I just finished wiring my board for what I thought was the last time in a while.

I'm debating between purchasing this in addition to the Eventide H90, which has excellent phaser/flanger parameters, but it's digital. The Zelda seems to phase with more.. vintage flavor? It has soul. Like making sweet, gay love with Nile Rogers kinda vibe, right? A comparison video would be really helpful.

[SpiritLife]

Seems like modern guitarists lump phaser into a niche '60s effect but you can actually get some killer clean chorus or great motion in a heavily distorted guitar.

I wish Strymon would update all their small pedals with MIDI and USB-C. I sold my Strymon DIG because lack of MIDI. It’s almost 2022 and surprising Strymon hasn’t made a multi-effects processor rack like a TC Electronic G Major, Line 6 Helix, etc…
