As a multi-phaser, it is naturally quite specific, but to be honest, when Strymon thinks about it, the result is fantastic. If you are a phaser freak – or not necessarily – and you are looking for the coolest phaser on this planet, then the Zelzah is the way to go! It offers thick, dreamy filter sounds and an unprecedented interface to control the effect precisely – yet still simply.

The left half of Zelzah is a classic 4-stage phaser with familiar speed, depth, and mix parameters. This gives you cool old-school phaser sounds (think Maestro/Moog from the 70s). However, if you choose the sweep setting, the phaser works on the sensitivity rating and provides a great vocal effect.

The right half is a 6-stage phaser, and the voice parameter is interesting because you can add a delay to the feedback loop in addition to filtering. This is a feature that doesn't quite belong to a phaser but is more typical of a flanger. This makes the right half so exciting, as the result is that you can also explore the spectrum of flangers and harmonic vibratos with the Zelzah.

And as Strymon puts it: What’s better than one phaser? Two! We agree with this, but we point out that these two phaser halves can be arranged completely independently. So with the Zelzah, you have not one, but two unique phasers at your disposal. As a cherry on top, the Zelzah is fully stereo, meaning stereo in (switchable) and out, which makes this pedal fantastic for keyboardists as well. A 9VDC power supply is included.
