Iv been in a real state of indecision for a month over what to buy for my first semi modular hardware as trying to build a away from DAW rig and I think I’m going to make the ZOIA the heart of this new tabletop project. Its dam fantastic ❤
If I were younger, and didn't need to sleep at night, I'd be all over this thing! Sadly, I already have a real modular synth that doesn't get enough love.
Well, I was about to click "BUY" on an Empress Reverb and now I found THIS video. So, Desert Island Time: my guess is that goes with you and poor Empress Reverb is left behind, seeing as how there's only room for ONE pedal. I suppose you'd say that ZOIA is the No Brainer choice, yes? Thanks Benn.

Great video, thanks, I have got to get a Zoia! I am a guitarist who also is into synths. How do you connect your guitar, do you have a guitar amp direct ss well as a ful Grande amp and can for the Zoia, or does it all just go through the Zoia into one full Grande amp system?
Every time I look at anything about this thing (I'm not entirely sure what to call it so will stick with "thing") it just blows my tiny little mind. What an absolute bumper box of joy. Being a guitar and synth guy I feel that this pedal and I were meant to be together. Just a matter of time.

Is Cuckoo the only one that’s going to go over the new firmwares?!?

What can it do? What can't it do? I'm gonna find out what it's limits are, even if it takes a year or so. It's a steal at 500 $(us).

i think you should get 40 zoias, and then get a controller with a 6 by 8 button grid that runs zoia patches like the effects modules inside zoia 🤯

I can't believe less than 1000 likes! After two years there still isn't a better master class on the Zoia.

Same algorithms as in the Empress Reverb? Or at least some of the good ones?

Can the Boss SY-1000 achieve the same sounds that the ZOIA can?

Can someone explain why the pads matrix is used here instead of touch screen and visual modeling like in Max?
@notrealy180217
January 26, 2026 at 10:33 pm
Have they made it so you can edit the pedal with a pc instead of the screen?

I know they are not even in the same category but which one do you recommend as a stand alone synth the zoia or the Medusa polyend . Thanks

I thought I commented here before, maybe I'm mistaken, maybe you removed it, re the MOD Duo X. Anyway, I came back to give some open-source JACK/LV2 context – https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20701&p=112242

I enjoyed the Far Fry 5 reference. That game was so damn good! This pedal is amazing and income tax can’t come soon enough!
