Empress Effects Zoia Modular Synthesizer Effects Pedal

Original

This is an Empress Effects Zoia Modular Synthesizer Effects Pedal. Made in Canada, this pedal is designed for those who are particularly module-inclined. The Zoia provides the user with all of the tools necessary to build digital modules and effects from the ground up, with over 20 pre-built effects already ready to go. With a large bank of presets, the Zoia could also be used as a pedalboard replacement with the ability to easily switch between presets and create chains of effects.

Here’s what Empress Effects have to say about the Zoia;

“The ZOIA is basically a modular synthesizer in pedal form. Instead of being a delay effect or tremolo, the ZOIA provides the modules necessary to build a delay or tremolo from the ground up. But since you’re the one building it, you can make it do whatever you want.

With the ZOIA you can build your own custom effects, synthesizers, midi controllers, and virtual pedal boards. So for instance, if you want a phaser, you can just plop down a phaser. You don’t have to break out the textbooks to learn that they’re built out of all-pass filters.
