## Overview

The Empress Effects ZOIA Modular Synthesizer and Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal is a versatile powerhouse featuring over 80 modules and 20 ready-made effects, allowing musicians to create custom sounds and effects.

## Description

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. And to make life a little easier, we've created modules for all your standard guitar effects. 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.

Review: Amazing pedal! Fantastic innovation and engineering! - I liked everything about this pedal! It’s unique , creative, challenging and beautiful. Zoia has a steep learning curve that needs to conquered. This is not even a pedal exactly. It’s a sound box that’s only limitation is the vision of the user. This works with synth, guitar and any other instrument you want to tailor it to fit. The pre programmed sounds are unreal and crisp and it’s by far the most innovative pedal I have come across in a very long time. I retired mine very sadly because desertcart screwed me on my payment plan. Apparently the payment plan option is fake, and just an advertisement for desertcart Visa. So watch out for the fake payment plan! The pedal kicks butt on another level. Just be ready for the learning curve and if your not into making your own sounds, download created patched by the user community.
Review: Astonishingly powerful and flexible - This little device is a work of genius! In a world of locked-down electronic devices that try to limit you in what you can do, finding a creation like this that's so flexible and open-ended is a huge breath of fresh air. And, in a world where long-term support for tech is lacking, it speaks volumes that Empress offers a four-year warranty and is still releasing powerful new firmware updates years after the ZOIA's release. Even if you never want to create your own effects, the variety of builtin patches along with all the freely available patches online make this worth the money alone. But if you're the type who likes to tinker and program and create new things from scratch, you'll love the ZOIA even more! My first day playing with it, I was away from home and didn't have any instruments or amps available, but I still had a blast just programming the buttons and lights to create cool patterns and visual effects. I mainly bought it to use with my electric cello, but you can even use this as an instrument in its own right, and I'm pretty sure I could spend the rest of my life with just this pedal and still be coming up with creative and interesting new stuff to do with it. Kudos to the Empress Effects team!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intuitive and great
*by R***R on November 4, 2023*

Best pedal I've ever owned. Much easier to use than I'd feared, I was able to start creating patches almost immediately after working through the quick intro they put together. Great looking too!
