SET PHASER TO STRUM!
You know and love Strymon for its lush reverbs and delays, and analogue-inspired processors. Well now, as the old saying goes, the US pedal brand is setting its phaser to strum, with the Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser. As with other Strymon pedals, the Zelzah is actually two pedals in one. To the left side there’s a four-stage phaser, offering Classic, Barber and Env modes (the latter reacts to your picking dynamics), as well as Speed, Depth and Mix controls. On the right side, you get a six-stage phaser you get an additional resonance circuit offering Mild/strong options, or switched out altogether. But key to this part of the pedal is the Voice control, which Strymon says is a “groundbreaking new phaser algorithm”, simultaneously controlling over 30 parameters. The Strymon Zelah is available now, priced £329.
