So grateful for your approach to sound. I won a Meris pedal on Reddit years back. Y’all asked everyone what drew them to Meris. I chose Nosaj Thing’s session because it showed me how myopic I’d been only using pedals for guitar and bass. I chose the Merc7 which hasn’t left my board unless I’m running it through my Microkorg or an app on my phone field recording in the woods. It’s a pedal that’s so dynamic that it opened my mind to being lawless when starting a song. I’m willing to get weird with any sound that resonates or sounds interesting, whether it be unique a bird I sample or a rhythmic pattern I hear in construction resonating through the walls of my office. Music is more fun when there’s no rules! Trying to save up for a Meris MercX. I think I’ll sell a niche guitar to a new home to speed up the process lol.

Really great to be back with a demo for a new Meris pedal. Their pedals always inspire me unlike anything else, and it was a true honor getting to test-drive MercuryX as one of the first people outside of Meris. If you're into sound designs and creating custom sounds that unmistakably sound like you, then MercuryX is a must-have. Its vast sonic playground unlocked some of the best sounds I've ever heard and created, and I can't wait to dive deeper and make more videos on it in the future. Please let me know what your favorite sound from the demo was, I would love to know

I’m not surprised the Mercury X sounds this good or that Stefan would use it effectively. But this was a very efficiently structured demo, and the exact introduction to this I was looking for. One surprise for me was how easy it was to get straightforward delay out of…it’s as if Meris is compensating for the lack of predelay range on the original M7. Lofi mod sounds great, like a cleaner cassette mod from the LVX - some overlap but still lovely.

I join other commentators in praising your playing skills. I have been a Mercury 7 owner for a long time and am very satisfied with this pedal in every aspect, except for the pitch shifter (upper octave) sound. I notice that in this device, the sound is much less metallic, but still not very pleasing to me, although the equalizer section and the presence of an LFO filter sound promising. P.S: Speaking of the LFO, I especially liked that sound. Thank you for this video, Stefan! Thank you for what you do!

@thepedalzone 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for the kind words about my playing. It goes straight to heart ❤ In regards to the pitch-verb/shimmer effects, then you can sculpt them to your heart's content if that's what you want. You have multiple Filter and Dynamic options to soften the frequency content of the pitched effects, and you can place the different modules wherever you want in relation to the reverb. So you can place them before the reverb, after, in the feedback loop, on the dry signal or pre-tank. Endless customisation options in this thing :)

So now this is THE most powerful reverb, combining the m7 and cxm1978 + 3 algorithms. Copies the same micro tweakability as the LVX. Meris and chase bliss to me personally are the leaders of innovation to push the industry førward. The second the LVX released, I knew I had to see it's cousin. Choosing a reverb pedal has been the most difficult choice for me, and now I can finally be rest assured there's no more competition to worry about. Now combining both meris workstations, with a zoia, gen loss mk2, and a tensor, as a keyboard player, there's almost no other pedals I could possibly ask for. Reverb was the final piece of the puzzle. Maybe chase bliss will have another out of this world release as they usually do, but other than a CB Blooper which my akai mpcx primarily takes the role of, this is a serious next generation breakthrough of power and flexibility. The true question is, will another pedal be released in this format?? What category of FX can they shatter the limits of next. Whatever it is, you know when a third X pedal does release, its going to be another forced purchase if you have the money to buy it.

Sounds truly great. Really nice to have a stereo trem to use with my vox. Apart from the reverb, the filter is it's other killer feature. Stereo trem is so useful too AC30S1 doesn't have a trem, and no spring either. And it's hard/impossible to really control/sync built-in stereo amp trem. Trem on one side only can sound nice, but it loses some drama/depth. Using with bass, filter with expression pedal is cool too. A system like this controlled by expression and midi can do so much. It's almost a one stop shop, except maybe to add a good clean opto comp and flexible drive/fuzz before it. And those are not the most expensive pedals to have to add. I'll be keeping my UAD Del-verb for it's stereo spring, I prefer it's more realistic spring algo. It's DMM and tape algos are great to have too.

just when I think "all I really need is a basic reverb..." Well done.

This one will give you basic as well as otherworldly customisability. Best of both worlds :)

Great sounds! Do you often use different guitar tunings for your videos?

Incredibly sounding pedal! So nice playing.. 🙌 How does the spillover work? Is there spillover between presets, regardless of the algorithms chosen?

Happy to hear the pedal was a positive surprise to you. It sounds absolutely immense!

Since eventide came out with h90 ive been grumbeling about great companies just remixing algos, slicing them out a pedal per algo and everybodys buying. Now meris. Well thanks for invading my warnews flooded yt start page. This seems truly innovative. Just afraid of the price.

I have been waiting for this pedal to exist since the LVX last year..awesome demo. Question- will your presets be available on the unit or on Patchstorage like the LVX?

@thepedalzone 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! 3 of my presets will come pre-loaded in the pedal. But I'll make sure to get the rest onto Patchstorage ASAP :)

I loved your review so much I h I bought it but the presets don’t match yours, did you program your own plate and hall on banks 42 and 49 in the demo. Please do another tutorial video on how you get those setup?

I would love to hear this paired with a synth!!

@thepedalzone 9 ай бұрын

Sure you can find several synth demos out there. All Meris pedals sound majestic on synths :)

As an owner and daily user of the M7 and the CXM 1978, I’m feeling conflicted on what I should do. Would you sell either/both of those to primarily use the mercury X? I didn’t get along with my LVX because I just hated the menu diving - ended up selling it. But I’d be open to it a bit more for reverb, as that’s my favorite effect to tinker with.

@kevinhetzel8654 9 ай бұрын

I would very much appreciate a video where you show and talk through creating some sounds with it too.

That's definitely in the pipeline for the future

Like Britney Spears, you did it again Stefan! You have the skills to show the best each single pedal can offer. But with this ultra sophisticated sonic machine, even me, one of the worst guitar player on earth, can make a song with three notes. Love you dude! Greetings from Mendoza, Argentina! 🥰🥰🥰

@thepedalzone 9 ай бұрын

Thanks, man! That means a lot to me. Making music isn't as much about skill as it's about ideas and actually executing those ideas. What I love about pedals like MercuryX is that they put new ideas in my head every time I turn them on, and I'm sure that MercuryX will make your mind explode with creativity as well ❤

This is an awesome pedal. It would be perfect for Ethereal Goth/Wave music. Reminds me a bit of a more ambient The Eden House.

@thepedalzone 8 ай бұрын

Happy you like it! It would definitely excel at dark ethereal goth textures

Great video! May I ask where the drum loops in the intro track come from? Would love to get them, just what I’m looking forward r for a track. Thanks !

@thepedalzone 8 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! I'm using EZdrummer 3 by Toontrack. Can't remember if the grooves I used were from the post-rock or post-metal expansion packs. But I use those two quite a bit.
