Great video, one thing I would absolutely tell anyone whose going to buy this, use a looper pedal to figure out how to build the synth sound you want. Between the learning curve and playing guitar at the same time it’ll frustrate you to tears. Use a looper pedal and the follow,this video….sanity and happiness will follow
Great advice is sometimes overlooked.I've owned Enzo for a long while and while it's a great sounding pedal it can be frustrating causing one to give up on it.I'm going to get my looper out!
Great vid “explaining” the different functions (not just saying what the function is). I have one of these pedals and your explanations were very helpful. Would have liked to see a deeper dive into the poly side as it’s the area I’ve explored the least. This pedal has certainly added a whole new dimension to my songwriting. Cheers.
I love strange efx stompboxes, lol. The only Behringer pedal that's ever died on me happens to have been their copy of a Boss "bass synth" stomp, which as it happens, they don't make anymore. It tracked/worked perfectly well with guitar and sounded great. I want to get something to replace it. Got one of these (?): This or the newer "guitar" version of Boss' synth pedal? I think the Boss has a wider array of waveforms, and things. I mean their standard stompbox format git synth. Good demo; cheers from Texas, lol.
Great explanation of the pedal but honestly some pre video prep on what guitar playing style will help this video would've been beneficial. Regardless, thanks for explaining so well
Well guys yet another fantastic review of a complicated pedal, and wow how many settings on what looks like a basic pedal. Don’t think this pedal will be on the Christmas list though unless I magically get hired to write music for some new Nintendo games 🤣
Magical ,,,,a tool someone can be creative with....you can go into the synthy sci-fi world with your guitar without special attachments...ok thats cool ...but what I realised by hearing you play, is that with the right settings you can go beyond that, to other sonic and timbral mythologies....like for example a violinish folk sound. No?
Upon further watching, I think this is pretty different to the Boss pedal. The Behringer/"Boss" pedal didn't have continuous-type filters; I think there were rather, settings that you switched between. An aside, the sound I'm hearing toward the end is really bringing back Devo's 1st album for me, lol. I and a few other rock and roll weirdos I hung w back in high school circa mid 70s, we were a subgroup of the rocker faction at large who were into the really fringe-type stuff, and when punk began happening, we were FLOORED. Much of that stuff, during the New Waves' initial stages, was more perfect than perfect for us. When I saw on some TV show re an "expose" on punk, which singled out particularly The Damned as their "5 minutes' hate" thing for them to excoriate and ridicule, lol, that was my 1st intro to punk on any sort of real scale. I bought reams of albums and EPs from ads in the back of Creem mag...it wasn't like, in Brownwood, Texas 1977, 78ish, you could walk into a place and find Ultravox and The Stranglers, lol, I had to send away for that kind of stuff. Strange, great times, lol. Rock's best use of synth happened out of that scene, Devo and Throbbing Gristle and others used synths in a more "reckless" sort of way than the controlled, boring way someone like Heart used them. Anyway, I love synths. ... in this remote hick place, there were only 3 others besides me in my entire school who were punks, lol.
Guitar player dude on left looks so bored/disinterested during most of this video. This is a pedal for dreampop/ambient/sound scaping and less is more with it. This video came off as two dudes mocking the product and who have no real interest in it or any idea how to use it creatively.
For the Polymode section at 18:25.... Yes it was portamento. The guitar player seemed to be thinking what we all were, but the guy operating the enzo... Possibly? C'mon and you didn't even remove the portamento, you just fucked up the sound even more so the guy couldn't demo the polymode properly. "It's just a sound you have to get used to"... No I don't think that where the problem was. Rest of the video was good, but you really botched the polymode demonstration, which is what I wanted to see the most.
Having the save function tied to the alt button is an awful user interface protocol. If you use the secondary functions chances are you are also the kind of person who will want to save those settings in some instances, especially with a pedal that is so sensitive to user input. If you play a set or whatever and forget what Enzo was doing last time you used it and start tweaking, you will likely over write whatever settings are saved in the last preset you recalled. Watching this demo, you must've overwritten preset 1 75 times. I have a love hate relationship with pedal if you can't tell. It's not like the Merc 7 where close enough is good enough....
NAH I have both..Both have strong points..Enzo has way more features to manipulate your sound..Sy 1 has more sounds with minimal features(even though half of the sounds are similar to eachother..

This is one of the best demos of how the functions work I have seen, Enzo is deep
I had a really happy time, guys. Thanks.
Hours of endless messing around great fun!🙂
"pitches love vibrato" didn't go unheard, sir
/WOOSH
the filter on this thing is ammmazing!
great vid guys. Love the Poly mode, rez down and minimal ring mod. :)
Such great explanations!
Thank you!!
That's the demo of the Meris Enzo decided me to buy one !
My desert island pedal for bass, always on my board with a CB Faves, it’s a swiss army knife of awesome bass sounds

nicely done
I love the space accordian! Where is the space melodica though?
Hehe…
Excelente. Saludos de Ciudad de México!!
Having trouble with mine. I’ve put it away for a few years and I’m trying it again and I’m not getting anything reasonably close to it
I order one and a schecter 8 string today thank you for video
Thanks you Scott

❤❤❤. Now I ve got it. 😂😂
That's a lot of pedal.
A pedal never needed an lcd so bad
Haha…yeah…that’s true
Meris is surpassing Strymon

The pedal is deep, the review is superficial

Enzo was one of the worst pedals I’ve ever played. Wonderful idea but terrible execution
Ehh... compared to a SY-1 (which is about the same price or cheaper) this sounds like a complete cr*p... :)
NAH I have both..Both have strong points..Enzo has way more features to manipulate your sound..Sy 1 has more sounds with minimal features(even though half of the sounds are similar to eachother..
A niche market then. It's for accomplished players that want to be reminded of when they were crap.
I don't even watch Strymon demos. I just see what it does and say, "Oh, it's clearly the best one."
Strymon?
