Enzo placement

Fishboy7

Just got a meris enzo and about to reassemble the board. Am i right in thinking this would be best placed at the start of the chain? 

I assume it will track a clean signal better.

I put a compressor before it to even out the signal a little

Thanks - just spent an hour experimenting with it,...... resulting in nothing but abominable sounds

Welcome to the club.
Personally I think it is terrible on guitar- it is excellent for reprocessing synths though.

Agreed. Got on far better with the EHX Synth 9 and the Boss SY-1

It’s a frustrating bit of kit and as @octatonic says, it’s not really that special on guitar

On a serious note, keep perservering. with your setup. Maybe start with neutral settings on guitar amp and pedals?

Well that accounts for 95% of the sonic unpleasantness
