More than a pedal, an instrument in itself
I bought this pedal, as I was very impressed by the many youtube reviews you can find.
To some extent, the Enzo rose up to my expectations, to some not, and I will develop below.
You can get very synthy, textural and unusual sounds out of this; It is great for someone who is looking for new ways of expression, passionate of synth sounds or soundscapes, or for someone that would want to write a film score.
I believe this, along with other pedals, will spawn a new era of effects, particularly thinning the line between guitars and synths, as I've noticed a tendency in that lately.
Pros: A great variety of new, unusual and inspiring sounds, that can expand your sonic possibilities and can get you inspired to compose new things. The arpeggiator works quite intuitively, it can be programmed via the tap button (but I do have a con at this, will describe it below); Overall, I recommend getting it, though realizing that it may be the first in a chain of upcoming effects.
Cons: As it is a pedal that tracks notes, it can be faulty at times at this chapter; It often happens that it tracks the overtones of notes or it does not track certain notes in a chord to their right pitch, making small or noticeable dissonances, so please keep that in mind.
It can get Very loud, and that is an aspect that I've yet to master, as it is not very predictable and it varies from one filter selection to another.
The arp's speed can be programmed via the tap button, but for accuracy, it may not be the most reliable method. This can be corrected via midi, I think, but it is not something I can wrap my head around at the moment.
Also, it is not the most intuitive pedal. It is the only one in my arsenal for which I had to read the manual, but that's ok :D Just get ready to pay closer attention than a regular pedal.
Thank you Thomann!

pro only
I was looking for a synth pedal but I found it pretty difficult to use it. The main problem is that once you created a sound it is difficult to re-create it during the next session. there are no references on the knobs. it is definitely for pro users, next time I'll probably go for a boss synth.

Randomly acceptable?
Random is sometimes overused in FX these days. This applies 100% here.
It's hard to control all parameters and fix a regular sound ... I would not recommend for live performance, just to experiment weird effects at home or for recordings. Plus, it is quite expensive.
Well built, robust, nice sounds (sometimes) and pretty design on a positive note.

Versatile & sensitive
This pedal is extremely versatile and provides lots of flexibility across many different kinds of synth effects. I tend to use it mostly for a lead sound during some solos on octave up. It sounds a bit muddy with polyphony at times because of how sensitive it is, but overall a very solid bang-for-your-buck pedal with lots of customizable synth sounds. And looks beautiful too!
