About This Item
Description
The Meris Enzo X is a six-voice polyphonic modular instrument synthesizer that any instrument — or a MIDI keyboard — can play, with full ADSR envelopes, onboard reverbs and drives, and no special pickup required.
Which Meris Enzo X is this?
Enzo X expands the original two-footswitch Enzo into a 6-voice polyphonic modular synth: full ADSR envelopes for both filter and amplitude (Enzo has a single-knob filter envelope and no amplitude envelope), dual 2500 ms delays instead of one 530 ms delay, three onboard reverbs, five drive types, full 6-voice polyphonic MIDI note input with pitch and mod wheels, and 99 presets across a color screen instead of 16. If you want Enzo's original compact two-footswitch layout, that pedal is sold separately as its own model on our site.
Why guitarists choose the Enzo X
- 6-voice polyphonic synth engine tracks guitar or bass directly, or plays from a MIDI keyboard — no special pickup required.
- Full ADSR envelopes on both filter and amplitude shape pads, swells, and plucky leads with real synth-level control.
- Onboard reverbs and drive stages let a full synth patch live entirely inside one modular pedal.
- Modular signal routing goes far beyond the original Enzo's fixed single-knob envelope.
- Color screen and 99 onboard presets make deep patches easy to build, name, and recall.
- Native 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out plus USB-C give full remote control with no external converter box needed.
Controls and switches
- Pitch — Sets pitch tracking response across Enzo X's synth modes.
- Filter — Sweeps the multimode synth filter's cutoff across Ladder, State Variable, and Twin filter types.
- Level — Sets overall synth output level, working alongside the parallel dry bus for drive and modulation.
- Mod — Applies modulation depth from Enzo X's five modulation types — Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Vibrato, and Ring Mod.
- C1 / C2 navigation encoders — Select and edit a favorited parameter directly from the front panel.
- C3 encoder — Turns to change presets, pushes to enter edit mode, and holds to save — the way to browse Enzo X's 99 presets across 33 banks.
- 4 LED buttons (1, 2, 3, Hold Modifier) — Mirror the four footswitches for desktop and studio use.
- Footswitches 1, 2, 3 — Engage or bypass presets.
- Hold Modifier footswitch — An envelope generator switch configurable per preset as Momentary, Latching, or Tap Tempo action — set it to Tap Tempo to sync arpeggios and delay without a dedicated tap footswitch; firmware 1.2.2 and later also adds a Tap MIDI CC message.
Power and pedalboard compatibility
Enzo X runs on 9V DC, center-negative, 2.1 mm barrel, drawing at least 300 mA — use an isolated multi-output supply rated for that current. The relay true bypass is mono only; running true stereo I/O, Trails, Spillover, or Kill Dry automatically switches Enzo X to Analog Buffered Bypass, so plan pedalboard placement around whichever bypass mode your patch uses.

FAQ
How many voices does Enzo X have?
Six fully polyphonic voices available simultaneously, each with two oscillators, a filter, a filter envelope, and an amplifier envelope.
Do I need a special pickup?
No. Enzo X performs polyphonic pitch detection with no special pickup necessary.
Can I play Enzo X from a keyboard?
Yes. It is playable via the instrument input or a MIDI keyboard, with full 6-voice polyphonic MIDI note input plus pitch and mod wheels.
What is the difference between Enzo X and Enzo?
Enzo X adds full ADSR envelopes, dual longer delays, three onboard reverbs, five drive types, and MIDI-keyboard play across 99 presets. Enzo is the original compact two-footswitch version, sold as a separate model on our site.
Does Enzo X work with the Meris Preset Switch?
No. The Preset Switch is officially listed as compatible only with Ottobit Jr., Mercury7, Polymoon, Enzo, and Hedra; Enzo X handles presets from its own front panel and over MIDI.
Does Enzo X need the Meris MIDI I/O box?
No. Enzo X has its own 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out jacks plus MIDI over USB-C on firmware 1.5 and later.
What power supply does Enzo X need?
9V DC, center-negative, 2.1 mm barrel, at least 300 mA. A power supply is not included.
