NEW Empress ZOIA 10K Special Edition! (first look & factory patches demo)

[@indigosnow_]

Goodness, how pretty. I already really wanted one. The temptation is all the more real now. Such a rad pedal. Great video!

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

It really is! Thanks for watching 😊

I grabbed one - the color is actually kinda Oberheim SEM.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Right on enjoy! And you are totally right, didn't realize how SEM-coded it is!

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

@@MilesAwayOfficial had a black one a while back - always thought about buying another - this was the opportunity. They are much easier to string together a few effects than folks realize. Thanks for showing the new 10k! Wouldn't have crossed my radar without your channel.

That unit does so much that I don't think I'll have time to fully dive into it. But ny GAS still wants one in my pedal collection

The beauty of ZOIA (imho) is that it is not anything specific. It can be whatever you need whenever you need it. I often use it as a utility as well for instance for mixing two sources or for switching between instruments. Or as a "front of chain compressor, end of chain eq". You can also use it as a midi switcher and even as a video switcher (with OBS Midi for instance or TouchDesigner). What I'm trying to say is that there's a lot to like even when scratching the surface ;)

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Exactly this!

I 100% get that, I actually mention in the video that I personally use ZOIA for way more bread and butter/"boring" uses than many people. But like Synthetic said on this thread, that's the beauty: you can use it for simple eq and reverb, or you can design an entire generative modular synth on it, or anything in between! No single right way to use it!

Damn, there's only 500?! Just got to the end of the video and man... Might take out a loan 😅 I don't need it but woof do I want it. Might sell a pedal or two to justify. Anyways, not sure if the link you have in the description isn't working or if it's something on my end. Great video again though. This pedal definitely has an insane amount possibilities

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Link is updated! Looks like perfect circuit are delayed, so I linked to Empress Direct! It's a great pedal for sure as long as you like the modular workflow!

[@RabbitintheMoon]

amazing... love the sounds

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed the demo!

[@scaryfontofficial]

The ZOIA is remarkable. I hope to finally have one of my own one day. ❤️

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

Glad you enjoy! It is certainly one of the best pedals!
