You killed it! I thought I knew Enzo. I apparently know nothing. Thank you for this stellar demo full of inspiring sounds ❤️
Ditto--this video is radical and makes the, like, 50hrs ive spent playing with it feel like nothing :)
his audio quality is above and beyond...
Thank you for actually demoing the pedal right! Those sounds are what the pedal is made for! I hate when pedal demos do some generic blues riff that doesnt fit the pedal. Great vid!
I bought an Enzo the minute they released and you are getting sounds out of this thing I haven't heard yet. This is such a good representation of how expansive this pedal is. Another gnarly job well done!
Thank you, hopefully I inspired you to find some new sounds in it! I figured there were enough demos showing the basics so I’d try to find and show other sounds
I’ve had one for about a year and I still find stuff with it I didn’t know about
best demo of this pedal, you get some not so obvious sounds from it. somehow I feel your stuff is a very clear-minded approach. love these soundscapes. thx
Excellent exploration! I love that you went for the non obvious stuff like the envelope follower, ring mod, and darker filter settings. Also, what a great synth-verb sound. This makes me so happy. :)
Thanks so much! I figured the existing demos covered the obvious settings so I would see what else I could come up with and show off. The synth-verb might be my favorite sound I found!
The Enzo is really hard to understand, but I tell you what. That’s the kinda thing I really like about this little magic box. It feels like every time I go like „plug n‘ play“ I discover new functions of this pedal. Yeah you probably will get a bit frustrated, but if you let yourself thinking through you can create you own unique sound with this thing. The Enzo is my favorite pedal besides the Unusual EAS and the Raster V2 💜
dude ur demos go so hard the riff at 8:30 is making me want this pedal so bad
Just got this two days ago. Didn’t know what I was doing with it, but every sound you’ve made in this video are reasons why I think Enzo will work for me. Thank you for making this video, what a great starting point for a noob.
Great demo! After looking at, listening to and trying so many "guitar synths" and synth pedals... I think the Enzo will suit my needs best. Thanks for a good idea on just how much this unit is capable of (and then some). Good clear explanations of how you're achieving the sounds. Thanks so much for sharing this!
That last sound puts me in a dream state.
So the arpeggiating parts mean we can expect yr midwest-emo-dance-tronica album any day now, right?
You joke, but I’m fairly certain I have unfinished tracks that are exactly that...
i was thinking The Album Leaf throughout this video
the only thing truly missing from the Meris Enzo is the ability to create your own presets and move between them with a tap of the button
“Medium attack is fading in the filter of the envelope” How can you discover such things?
Love this demo so much, don't own one yet but this display has made it my dream pedal.
Loving that riff that comes in around the 10 minute mark. Awesome stuff, as always.
Probably my favorite demo of this pedal. Was thinking about buying but this demo just convinced me!! Great stuff.
Thanks so much! Hopefully you really enjoy it. It’s a lot to learn, but tons of fun to play
This vid helped seal the deal for me. Just ordered one. Watched a few others and everyone seemed to dime the mix. The way you demoed is exactly how I’m hoping to use it. Thanks!
Great demo. I loved the ThePedalZone one, and this complements it beautifully with sounds I never expected based on the very synth-focused demos out there. Great job.
The Pedal Zone one was what convinced me I needed this, so I’m glad this pairs with it well. I think between this, his, and Pedals and Effects all the range of this pedal is covered
My fav Enzo demo yet! Been waiting for mine forever (ordered from first batch, but shipped to Norway). This help, haha! Thanks!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! And wow, I didn’t realize it took so long for things to ship out there. Hopefully you’ll get it soon!
Great demo. Thanks
your best job yet. I'm in love with this thing
🥰
thank you for this post. sounds beautiful. im probably going to end up purchasing it. im falling in love with it. i tried to deny my love but i cannot
Very tasteful playing in this. Sounds great.
Thanks so much! :)
Stunning demo of a truly stunning pedal. Love it !
Great vid. The arp setting is gorgeous.
this demo took me from "oh hey thats cool" to "holy shit i need one" so thanks for that
Sorry for your wallet, but I’m glad you liked it!
Nailed it! I want one. Subscribed.
the explosions in the sky pedal
Best demo of it in the internet! Really awesome sounds!
Thanks so much! :)
The riff at the end sounds great
Thank you! I think that one is my favorite
Yes! This is great! Thanks!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it
Wow very cool, you nailed these sounds and all of the various patterns and possibilities. The sounds yo created are just astounding...
This is the most amazing ENZO TH-cam that I've heard and I'll be watching it many times over!
Thank You so much....
Great video - really shows off the flexibility of this pedal.
Thanks so much! it’s definitely flexible, especially if you spend time finding all the right combinations of effects
Amazing Outro
Excellent video as usual. This one definitely helped sell me on the Enzo. As of today, it's mine.
Very cool demo! Thx to you and The Pedal Zone, ENZO will be on my board next week. Can't wait to combine it with my Polymoon and BOSS GP-10GK
Hopefully you’ll get some good use from it! Between my demo and The Pedal Zone’s (which is what made me buy this) you definitely know everything this can do. And it’ll pair so nicely with your Polymoon!
@@collectoremitter it's always good to have two well made demo's that are explored differently, especially with these Meris. Once again, cool demo! From a new subscriber 😉
Wonderful, i just got a Thermae yesterday but i think i want to try Enzo out even more after your video. Great Job!
Thanks, I’m really glad you liked it!
Thank you! Very helpful, guess I will be purchasing. Wasn't sure about the effects side of this but your programming is very similar to how I would like to use it, bits of bubbling ambience and weirdness somewhat disconnected from the dry guitar. Good job.
Thanks so much! I tried to show some of the versatility of the pedal, so I'm glad that was helpful
you're make my favorite demos by far. mainly cause im also inspired by midwest emo guitars. i love you
Thanks so much :)
of course! i imagine you're a pretty busy bee but if you ever wanna make a lofi over the internet album i'd be honored
I tried this for the first time today and had no idea what I was doing haha
It’s a lot to understand but a lot of payoff once you do
Great video! The first section was Loveless by MBV...
Great demo and sounds for me to steal and take to the bank...the BLOOD bank....love you - fifac
❤️ Always appreciate your support man! I'd definitely love to see some stuff from you sampling these demos
collector//emitter If I get something that’s worth your listening time i surely will lol. But the sounds you get from this pedal are so sweet, it’d be hard to f it up!
Awesome Demo!!!! As Usual :)
You know a pedal is good when every mode is a song you'd listen to. Too bad every milk toast college kid is buying them out and I can't get one right now.
lol don't listen to "lil cum sock." They've obviously got some problems to work out. You do you, Will.
i almost fell asleep listening to this lol good stuff
Does tap tempo rhythm remain after you power it off?
I use my Enzo as a fucked up delay pedal and an instant inspirational device.
Any chance you could list your settings that you used. Especially the hidden alt ones? I’m trying to replicate your sound at 1:44 but can’t seem to nail it :)
I really enjoy listening to your guitar playing. The pedals are okay too. :-p
I have one. It's a Great sounding synth pedal, BUT ... I wish it had memory for a lot of
patches. It's damn impossible to remember the secondary settings along with the primary.
Getting back to a patch that you've designed and like, is so Frustrating...
Jamie Morgan you could write them down & have a cheat sheet so to speak?
Jamie Morgan you can over midi with a midi memory pedal
@@DK-qe6uo - for only another $150 ...
It's the main flaw for the entire Meris line. I have a polymoon, and it's no longer on my board for this reason.
WOW what’s the chord progression that starts around 4:00? It’s so beautiful! Reminds me a lot of Duster
Wow, thank you! I love Duster so that means a lot. It’s just E - C#m - B repeated 3 times then A - D
Was hoping you'd do this pedal! I'm looking to get one asap!
Once I saw it I knew I needed one! And I’m really glad that I did
great vid!
Oh man i have so many questions..the pedal seems to be quite amazing but im kinda sceptical towards the over the top positive demos and for the fact that it is synth pedal, because so many other Synth pedals like the ehx synth 9 tracks like shit or starts farting when playing complex chords. So how is the meris enzo.. are there any flaws when it comes to tracking(16th notes) and playing complex chords ?.. Hope you or anybody can give me an honest answer..
I am always skeptical with synth pedals because they never fully do what I want or track perfectly. I think there are some flaws in the Enzo's tracking, which I mention in the video (and I bought this pedal for myself so I was not pressured to be overly positive), but it is easily the best tracking I've played in a pedal. It can do complex chords to a degree, but since it also picks up the harmonics it will sometimes play some wrong notes. And it can definitely do faster tracking, but the envelope doesn't retrigger if you're playing too fast. Overall its the best tracking I've seen, but not perfect (and I don't think synth pedals will ever get perfect tracking). Hopefully that helped!
collector//emitter do u think an euqalizer in front of the pedal would hel?
thx for ur reply
@@hosenscheisser9 I use a compressor in front of it, which helps. But it's still not perfect, but not awful either. The monosynth tracks fast runs and bends well. Sometimes it'll interpret overtones of a note as notes for the arpeggiator or polysynth, with strange results. My Digitech Bass Synth Wah tracks better, but granted is also a much simpler pedal. Tracking is better above the 7th fret.
Great demo man, and first time viewer.. Definitely had to subscribe.
Also, do you have any suggestions about placement in a pedal chain?
Thanks so much man! I would say first in your chain would be best, or right after your dirt pedals. Otherwise the tracking won’t work as well
Is that a Japanese Breakfast reference in your description?
It absolutely is!
@@collectoremitter I'm so glad
Sounds stunning ! What settings are used to get the sound at 6:25 ?
I honestly don’t remember what the alt-controls were set like there, but the knobs in the video are all set to what you’re hearing. That should at least be a good starting point!
collector//emitter - Thanks for getting back. I’m gonna buy the Enzo because of your brilliant review of it 😊
Cool demo. Can't say I'm much taken with the ultra-fast tremolo. I assume that can be slowed down considerably?
It can be slowed down, but it’s meant as a ring mod so most of the range of the knob is in the high range. And the envelope controls it as well, so you’ll have to be careful with that if you have the trem/ring mod on
Thanks. It sounds like a pedal I should try to spend some time with.
Fire demo! Always getting good sounds man. What’s your recording setup?
Thanks so much! Normally I play through a Music Man 65 head, Avatar cab with V30 and G12H30 speakers. I record that with a Rode M1 and Senbhejser e609 into a Universal Audio Apollo interface and into Pro Tools (I sync with the video afterwards). But for stereo demos like this one I go direct in to the interface and use the UAD amp sim plugins, which work really well. I’d rather show it with a real amp, but since most stereo pedals are delay/reverb/modulation it works out well.
So four months later, what are your thoughts? I sold mine after a couple weeks because I was so overwhelmed, but I have another one coming this week to give it another spin. You still inspired by it?
I am still inspired by it, but I find myself using the dry mode most often. The synth modes sound great and are perfect for some situations, but I also have some synths that have a lot more flexibility
Great demo, thanks! Where would you place this in a pedal chain that already has a few delays and reverbs? (too bad, out of stock at the moment....)
I would probably put it before all my other delay and reverb, because it sounds excellent with reverb after it. So then before or after dirt is up to you. I tried with some different types and it does track well after overdrive or distortion, but not as well. So even first in your chain is a possibility
Thanks! It appears to be out of stock at the moment. 🙁
anyone know a pedal that does the arrpegios the same way as enzo?
There are other arpeggio pedals (Moment Machine, Arpanoid) but Enzo does it very unique way because it appreciates the notes you play as opposed to a fixed patten over a note you play
@@collectoremitter Yep but I think it's just too expensive and takes too much space just to use that feature.
I found a good way using a DD-5 to constantly feed my C4 Synth doing seuqenzing. Needs a lot of work but has big potential.
@10:54 wow. love it. settings?
That’s mainly the poly synth with the pitch set to a 5th up. It also has a ton of the delay on it
What ring mod?
It’s the secondary function on the sustain knob
jbrekkie fan? haha
great demo as usual
Absolutely! Glad someone caught that
Enzo + lofi junky.... Please do a video.
Unfortunately I sold my Lofi Junky to a friend, but that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try it with the Generation Loss instead
This will only lead to peak shoegaze and minimal actual playing. I’d need the preset footswitch with it too. Beautiful gear from Meris who have brought their Synth world to guitartists/ knob twiddlers.
Yup! It’s the perfect crossover of the synth world and the guitar world. The preset switch is definitely helpful for this one, but it’s not too tough to dial in on the fly
mouth hung open for half the duration of this vid
i dont have money :( WHYYYY !!!
I already wanted this pedal and now you pop up with a dope demo. Thanks for nothing dude (jk). Seriously, though this pedal was announced just after I bought a HOG 2, ugh.
This vs the HOG or POG is a really tough pick! I've read somewhere that Meris said they approach guitar synthesis in two totally different ways and both have positives and negatives. But hopefully you get a chance to try both and see what works for you!
collector//emitter Yeah chances are this will find its way into my hands sooner or later hah. Thanks for the demo, I'm really glad you did this one.
Dude, loose the moving waves, it's nauseating..
Hey man, I’m sorry it bugged you. You’re the first to say that, but I’ll have to take it into consideration
Lovely demo.thank you.
Thanks so much!
