Meris MercuryX Modular Reverb System Pedal

Meris MercuryX – Next-Gen Modular Reverb Pedal

Step into the future of reverb with the Meris MercuryX, a groundbreaking modular reverb system that redefines what’s possible in a pedal. Built on the legendary foundation of the Mercury7, the MercuryX pushes far beyond cinematic soundscapes into an entirely new dimension of studio-grade versatility and sonic design.

Forget fixed reverb types—MercuryX opens a world of possibilities with its modular architecture, letting you build and sculpt your own reverb chains using 8 exclusive Meris-crafted algorithms. Inspired by the award-winning LVX, its streamlined interface makes deep exploration effortless and intuitive, even in the heat of performance.

Whether you’re chasing lush ambient textures, experimental atmospheres, or finely tuned studio reverbs, the MercuryX delivers with unparalleled depth and clarity. Powered by high-performance hardware and shaped by Meris’s obsession with pro audio excellence, this pedal is more than an effect—it’s an instrument.

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 emphasised halos of sound are easy to create. Explore the additional sparse mode for the Hall when Diffusion is set Low.

Prism - The Prism Structure is an dual tank that allows you to build your own geometric rooms by specifying 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 individual 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. Transcend to New Worlds.
