Guitar World Verdict

This is one powerful modulation pedal that can both conjure up vintage sounds and provide a way to create new ones.

Pros

  • +

    Two great-sounding phasers in one box.

  • +

    Voice knob goes beyond pure phasing.

  • +

    Flexible output options.

  • +

    Preset storage.

Cons

  • -

    It would’ve been good to have access to at least one preset without having to plug in external equipment.

Looking at Strymon’s previous output, there must have been plenty of guitar players wondering when the company would produce a dedicated phaser pedal. And here it is in the very purple form of the Zelzah Multidimensional Phaser.

Not just a single phaser pedal, the Zelzah offers two separately footswitchable true stereo phasers in one chassis: one a four-stage phaser, the other six-stage. These can be run individually or simultaneously with various stereo and mono output options.
