Empress Effects Zoia

Product Description

The Empress Effects Zoia may look like a guitar pedal, but it’s also a fully functional modular synthesizer. Dial in custom synth sounds, sequences, effects, and more with over 80 modules. Custom-designed for exploring new sounds, the only limit to what you can create with Zoia is your imagination.

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL

Zoia is an extensive modular effects processor packed with over 80 modules for designing custom sounds. Create everything from basic signal chains to complex parallel processing using interface modules like audio I/O, MIDI and CV I/O. Build your own custom synth sounds using audio modules like oscillators, VCAs, filters and more. Modulate sounds using CV modules like LFOs, ADSR envelopes, and step-sequencers. Polish your tones with an array of built-in effects like EQ, compression, reverb, delay, distortion and more. Save up to 64 patches directly to Zoia and instantly recall them during live performances.

MODULAR SYNTH

Zoia’s intuitive interface makes creating complex synth sounds as easy as connecting the dots. Simply tap a pad and select a module using the OLED Display and begin building your own sound shapes with pitch shifters, noise generators, and bit modulators. Connect your favorite MIDI controller suing the Dedicated control port and MIDI 1/8” in/out using the included 1/8” to MIDI dongle.

VIRTUAL PEDAL BOARD

Zoia may be small, but this compact stomp box has enough effects to put even the most robust pedalboards to shame. Use simple single-module effects for basic sounds or create complex signal chains using dozens of different effects. Fine tune your tone with multi band EQ. Shape transients using the compressor, gate and envelope filter modules. Add overdrive, distortion and fuzz to tracks for extra bite. Add space and depth to your tracks with over a dozen reverb, delay and modulation effects. There’s even a cabinet simulator!
