Manufacturer's description
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. MercuryX combines 8 custom Meris reverb algorithms and incorporates those into a modular system architecture 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.

The 8 Reverb Structures
Each reverb structure has gate controls for dialling in effects ranging from classic percussive gates to reverse-tail sounds and slow breathing textures. Each structure also features a Predelay Blend control, letting you put some or all of the predelay reflections in parallel with the reverb tank.
- Ultraplate — Adapted from Mercury7. An inspiring and lush plate with a fast build; a flexible decay range creates a wide range of studio textures.
- Cathedra — Adapted from Mercury7. A massive and ethereal algorithm with a slow build, perfect for sci-fi textures.
- Spring — A flexible algorithm voiced to replicate both amp-based reverb sounds and classic studio spring tanks from early recordings.
- 78 Room — A lively and direct sound, great for transforming static-sounding virtual amps into the sound of a great amp live in the room. Features a unique infinite mode (decay maxed out) that interacts with the Tank Mod for deep chorused and flanged reflections.
- 78 Plate — Fast and dense; a good match for beefing up percussion and vocals.
- 78 Hall — A large hall with a medium build-up of reflections, great for ambient walls of sound. Extended reflections are a great base for sculpting with the Bass/Mids/Cross controls — deep rumbling bass caverns and ethereal upper-mid halos are easy to create. An additional sparse mode is available when Diffusion is set low.
- Prism — A dual tank that lets you build your own geometric rooms by specifying size, distance, and reflectivity. Features a highly configurable modulation section allowing different modulation phases per side for an enhanced stereo image.
- Gravity — Works by accelerating individual windows of the signal and stretching them across the horizon, great for pad-like textures beneath your sound. Features a powerful modulation section capable of both gentle and chaotic pitch effects within the reverb tank. The Gain control is crucial to taming its explosive textures.
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, 'next working day' shipping is free to most parts of the UK if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Certain areas of the UK, including the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland and other offshore islands, may have higher shipping charges and slightly longer delivery times due to surcharges applied by the courier and reduced service availability in those areas. We try to keep these costs to a minimum.
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 DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail 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 16:00. 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.
Please note that 'next day' delivery is an aim, not a guarantee. The vast majority of orders shipped on a 'next day' service do arrive the next day, but occasionally couriers experience unforeseen delays due to weather or traffic conditions etc.
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 the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
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.
