Meris Enzo X – A Supernova Expansion of Synth Pedal Technology
Introduction
The Meris Enzo X is the evolution of the original Enzo, expanding it into a powerful modular instrument synthesizer that redefines pedal-based synthesis. Featuring 6-voice polyphony, 5 synth modes, a deep modulation section, and multi-effect processing, Enzo X is the most advanced polyphonic synthesizer pedal ever made. With no special pickup required, it can transform any guitar, bass, or instrument into an expressive, dynamic synth.
At its core, Enzo X blends the award-winning UI architecture of the LVX and MercuryX with a high-fidelity analog/digital hybrid signal path. Whether you’re crafting vintage analog tones, cinematic soundscapes, or cutting-edge experimental textures, Enzo X is a powerful creative tool that unlocks new dimensions of sound.
