Strymon Zelzah -Dimensional Phaser
Strymon · pedal
The Strymon Zelzah is a multidimensional phaser that houses two independent phasers side by side in one stereo pedal. The 4-stage side delivers rich, warm classic phaser tones ranging from slow, mellow sweeps to fast, intense phasing and into vibrato, reminding many of analog units like the MXR Phase 90 and Walrus Lillian. The 6-stage side expands into phasing, flanging, chorus, and everything in between, and the two sides can be combined for limitless modulation textures. It offers true stereo outputs with a mono-to-stereo switch and USB MIDI connectivity. Warm, analog-voiced, and easy to shape, it suits players who use a lot of modulation and want classic phaser tones plus lush chorus and flange in a single pro-level pedal for rock, ambient, and experimental styles.
