An Entire Synthesizer On Your Pedalboard | Meris Enzo | Deep Dive

- Thanks to Meris for sending out the Enzo to check out: www.meris.us/
The Meris Enzo is the pedalboard maximalist's dream, pulling together an incredible suite of synthesizer sounds and effects. From digital oscillation, a 6 mode filter, modulation, envelope trigger/control, ring modulation, pitch shifting, a delay and more.
I've loved diving into sounds that hybridize guitar and synthesizer sounds and the Enzo may be the ultimate solution for creating synth tones that wash, cut or totally alter your sound into bizarre and beautiful ways.
Let's dive deep and explore the vast array of incredible sounds available in the Enzo.

Loved your live filter sweeps and all your sculpted sounds . Thank you for bringing Enzo to life!
Wow man this sounds awesome!
Dude that Balaguer is so sick!! Super cool tones from the pedal as well!
Love mine!
Lvx, mercury. I wonder what they’re going to call their golden modular.
Enzo is a great pedal.. Perfect for sci fi Soundscapes drenched in stereo delay and reverb..
Enzo X, anytime soon? Surely hope so!
Man that would be cool, but I have a sneaking suspicion because some of the features have been reimplemented in the LVX/MercX from what I understand that that's probably a long way off if it's slated at all
Been reading the some are having problems with tracking as notes fade away also that there are random volume jumps … .anyone experiencing these problems and what work around have you found?.
Hi! Curious about your decision to place the Enzo, where you did, in the signal chain. The OD, the chorus and Generation Loss will not serve the input tracking of the Enzo. I could see you wanting to preserve the stereo image out of the Enzo, but your chorus appears to have a stereo out....the drive will not, does the Gen Loss have stereo I/O? Regardless, tone shapers (the "Sick-As") and then time-based effects ("Horrothia" and "Gen Loss"); would serve you better after initial tone shaping (synths...."Enzo")....or that is my take on it. If you have a logic to this, that is better, please share. At any rate....wish this video was around 6-years ago(?). Simply the best Enzo vid I have seen (and I have watched a bunch). I have the Hydra and the LVX. Thanks again!. PS:: I would have one of those cheapo micro pedal compressors in line on the input of the Enzo, on the same loop. Synth pedals can distinguish velocity, but require a more "constant volume"....I learned this from my old Roland "Pitch-to-Voltage Rack Synth" I had in the 90's.
Hi! I'll take it section by section since there's a lot to dig into
The Horrothia has stereo output, but it's kinda false stereo with a dry and a wet out, so I typically run it in mono, but the Generation loss does have stereo I/O! - Because the Enzo sounds are mostly agnostic to timbre of what you play into them I've been experimenting with placing modulations and other creative effects prior to the enzo so that it almost creates 2 very different feeling sounds rather than using gen loss over all of it, bringing the enzo back into consistency with the guitar. Not really a strong preference, but something I've been messing with in my spare time.
Thank you for the kind words, it really means a ton to me.
Regarding compression, I totally agree, the Cali76 Stacked has 2 stages of compression, one that I typically set with a fast attack so that it levels out the peaks, but the second I leave on slow so that it brings the tails of my signal up creating that smooth sustain that does seem to make tracking easier. I was really amazed by how well it tracked being placed after drive though!
I have problems with mine. I’ve watched tutorials and Examples. I don’t know what to do. How can I resolve my problem?
I mean, what are the problems? Hard to help without knowing more. Have you emailed the Meris team?
Really nice! Thanks for the video, but in the same time I was waiting to hear the enzo together with the generation loss… 😂 I am thinking about getting it for the Enzo.
I'll have to give that a try soon! definitely seems like a lot of potential to create some pretty incredible sounds
@@signalpath yeah, I am really interested in hearing that! :)
