Great demo, thanks for that. Looking forward to getting one in for sure.

Can someone chuck an Enzo before a Fairfield Shallow Water or Zvex Instant Lo Fi Junky? I'm on the cusp of pulling the trigger on one, but I think if its able to sound like something from Boards of Canada or Bibio, that'll be what puts me over the edge.

I saw a video on facebook where someone did that and it sounded golden.

Edit: here's the IG of it.
Also, another one.

O DAM

There's a local guitar shop that apparently has one in. I may well swing by and see what happens...

That sounds great--especially liked the second IG clip--I think there's a huge range of possibilities--especially on the subtler end of things....

Intrigued by the Polymoon. One farily simple analog delay is all I have in my current arsenal, not counting my bitquest or my PS-3, which is on its way out.

The online clips blew me away, haven't been this impressed in a long time. Too bad you can't store presets without midi though. And an effects loop would've been nice too, but I guess you can't have everything, it's not like thise pedal has a shortage of impressive tricks :idk:

Try using the hold function on it. I've used it for some really cool background artifacts and it's a ton of fun man.

:?: Damn...I knew I was in for a steep lurning curve and all...

But am I the only one who's fucking intimidated by their polymoon? :idk: :?: :facepalm:

Only messed with it for 15 mins or so, didn't spend too much time with the manual...And the most complex delay pedal I had until now was probably a DL4 :idk:

If you don't get along with it, check out my BST thread, I've got stuff to trade and want to get my hands on a Polymoon!

The beauty of the Polymoon (and all the meris stuff I have tried) is that you can get great sounds without really diving too deep into it. They're almost like a great beat-em-up, sure you've got you quarter circle-forward-punch stuff and that will be fun for the whole family but if you are inclined to dive into the deeper mechanics there is fulfillment to be found there too.

In other words, you can play as Ryu or as Zangief on Meris pedals. Which is super cool and also I still really want an Enzo.

After spending more time on the polymoon, and sorta getting the hand of the different parameters and how they interact...
I decided it's way more powerfull and experimental that what I can handle. That's sorta why I bought it new, I wanted to be sure I could send it back in case it was too overwhelming. I love how it can act like a standalone phaser or a reverb, and even GREAT sounding ones. It's not like the typical "we threw in some modulation to beef up the spec sheet", like on the other delay pedals I tried.

But yeah, no presets without midi is a bit of a pain. Plus, dispite all of the stuff it's awesome at, it doesn't really seems to do regular no frills digital delay tones. And if it were a little less pricey, I'd keep it around for the hell of it, it might've eventually even made it's way onto my board after all, if I had the patience to get hooked on it...

But there's bills to pay, and GAS to obey :facepalm:

Got a good deal on a bassbreaker 15 head I couldn't resist. The last low wattage amp I had was a TT combo. Made in the UK with a G12H30. Never should've sold that thing :facepalm:

I got the ENZO on Thursday. I was just going to my local guitar shop to get some strings. I didn’t intend to buy anything else, lol. But they had the pedal for list price so I figured I would test it out. I fucking love this pedal!!! Bought it after playing with it for a hour or so. It really is everything I could want in a synth pedal for guitar. I feel like the possibilities are endless.

Got an email from my local(ish) Meris dealer lettibg me know they had one Enzo left on their shipment and did I want it?

Should arrive early next week, so that's going to be cool.

Got to try my friends Enzo the other day. Well, tweaking it while he played. Super easy to get a cool sound but also easy to lose it. Would have to spend a few months to really get into it, but that's his problem/pleasure! Amazingly versatile box. And it looks/feels beautiful.

I like actual keys though, so even if it's more unwieldy I'll probably continue to use old synths/digital keyboards when I want those sounds. Then again, I guess you could use a MIDI controller with the Enzo.. or no?
