Strymon Zelzah
Way Back Machine
Step on Zelzah, play one chord, and you're instantly taken back to a world of classic phaser tones as they were always meant to sound, perfectly voiced, with tons of vibe.
Vintage 4-stage and 6-stage phasing with controls that allow seamless transitions to vibrato, gorgeous flanging and chorus, and new sounds never heard before-all instantly musical with great tone all the way across every dial.
Two Effects at Once
Zelzah is actually two different phasers, side by side in one pedal.
Zelzah's 4-stage side gives you a wide array of classic tones ranging from phasing to vibrato and more, while the 6-stage side provides phasing, flanging, chorus, and all points in between. Dial in a chorus on one side and barber pole phaser on other, or a phaser on one side and tremolo on the other. Use the two sides independently or together in a variety of configurations.
Zelzah may become the only modulation pedal you keep on your board.

Choose Your 4-Stage Phaser Sweep
- Barber Sweep
Similar to the visual effect of a barber pole, the Barber sweep is a continuously rising or falling effect that is traditionally done with frequency shifters.
Zelzah have used an arrangement of synchronized four stage phasers to produce the effect while maintaining the four-stage sound. - Envelope Phaser
Set the Sweep switch to Env and you've got a whole new pedal under your feet.
Now the phaser responds to your picking like an envelope filter/auto-wah would, with the phaser sweep being dynamically controlled by your input signal, creating harmonically complex and very funky sounds. - Classic Sweep
The first Sweep mode is labelled "Classic" because this is the classic four stage phaser sweep we all know.
In this Sweep mode, a single LFO with a warped triangle shape creates that familiar vintage sound.
