MercuryX
Modular Reverb System
The Meris MercuryX takes the heart and soul of Mercury7 and expands
it far beyond sci-fi into the highest quality and most flexible studio
reverb ever created in a pedal format. Its modular reverb system
format breaks the paradigm of pre-set reverb types and inspires new
discoveries. MercuryX features the same easy to use UI as LVX, making
it immediately intuitive to navigate.

• Designed and built in California, U.S.A.
• Powered by standard 9V power
(9V DC, centre -, 2.1mm, ~ 280 mA current draw)
All of our passion for pro audio has made it into both the algorithms and hardware performance of this pedal. MercuryX combines 8
custom Meris reverb algorithms and incorporates those into a modular system architecture that first introduced with the award winning
LVX pedal. It features discrete processing elements and control signal modifiers that can be connected as desired for infinite flexibility in
crafting custom reverbs.
Here is a deep dive into the 8 different reverb structures in MercuryX. Each Reverb Structure has Gate controls that can be used to dial
in a range of gated reverb effects including the classic percussive gate sound, reverse tail reverb sounds, and slow breathing textures.
Similar to the Dry Blend control of the Predelay, each Reverb Structure features a Predelay Blend control that allows you to put some or
all of the predelay reflections in parallel with the reverb tank.
• Ultraplate - Adapted from Mercury7, Ultraplate is an inspiring and lush plate with a fast build. Use the Ultraplate’s flexible decay
range to create a wide range of studio textures.
• Cathedra - Adapted from Mercury7, Cathedra is a massive and ethereal algorithm with a slow build. Cathedra is perfect for scifi
textures and recreating C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
• Spring - A flexible algorithm that can be voiced to replicate both the amp based reverb sounds and the classic studio spring tanks
featured on early recordings.
• 78 Room - A lively and direct sound. This algorithm is great for transforming static sounding virtual amps into the difficult to capture
sound of a great amp live in the room with you. The Room algorithm features a unique infinite mode (Maxed out Decay controls) that
interacts with the Tank Mod to provide deep chorused and flanged reflections.
• 78 Plate - Fast and dense, the 78 Plate algorithm is a good match for beefing up percussion and vocals.
• 78 Hall - A large hall with a medium build up of reflections. Great for building up ambient walls of sound. The Hall algorithm’s
extended reflections are a great base for sculpting with the Bass/Mids/Cross controls. Deep rumbling bass caverns and ethereal
upper mid emphasized halos of sound are easy to create. Explore the additional sparse mode for the Hall when Diffusion is set Low.
• Prism - The Prism Strucure is an dual tank that allows you to build your own geometric rooms by specificying the size and distance
and reflectivity. Prism features a highly configurable modulation section which allows different modulation phases per side to further
increase the stereo image.
• Gravity - The Gravity Structure works by accelerating indivual windows of your signal and stretching them across the horizon. Gravity
is great for adding padlike textures beneath to your sound and features an powerful modulation section capable of both gentle and
chaotic pitch effects inside of the reverb tank. Gravity’s Gain control is crucial to taming the explosive textures contained within.
We hope MercuryX will be the most powerful and at the same time, the most intuitive reverb you’ve ever used.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
