Strymon Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser, Midnight Edition

Strymon wanted to do a limited run of some of their favourite pedals they’ve released over the years, each finished in a sleek black and white finish as dark as the midnight sky, complete with black knobs and a blacked-out box. Despite their minimalist styling, the sounds waiting to be released from these limited edition pedals are as colourful and inspiring as ever.

Zelzah not only gives you truly sublime, perfectly voiced classic phaser tones with tons of vibe—it’s also a multi-modulation pedal that allows two effects at once. Enjoy gorgeous studio quality flanging and chorus, vintage vibrato, 4-stage and 6-stage phasing, a super expressive touch-sensitive envelope phaser, plus captivating new sounds never heard before—all instantly musical with a superb tone all the way across every dial.

Zelzah offers true stereo signal processing and a premium discrete stereo JFET analogue input circuit, plus full MIDI control with 300 preset locations. With fully independent control over two effects at once and a huge range of sought-after sounds, Zelzah may become the only modulation pedal you keep on your board.
