Meris LVX Delay
Meris · pedal
The Meris LVX is a modular algorithmic delay system from Meris (Los Angeles, California), delivering a deep, programmable delay engine with MIDI control, preset storage, and flexible routing for complex, evolving delay textures. Meris was founded by former Roland/BOSS engineers. The LVX provides studio-grade algorithmic delay with modular routing options for ambient, progressive, and professional players who need deep delay programming capability.

Amps that pair well with the Meris LVX Delay
Marshall Plexi 1959SLP
amplifier
39% matchRoute the LVX's complex ambient delay through the 1959SLP's aggressive plexi saturation for a thick, wall-of-sound finish.
Laney Ironheart IRT-Studio
Laney
38% matchThe IRT-Studio's direct USB output captures the LVX's complex ambient delays cleanly for recording.
Marshall JMP 2203 Mk II Master Lead 100w
Marshall
29% matchRun the LVX in the JMP's loop so its complex ambient delay trails the amp's own aggressive gain, not gets distorted by it.
1976 Marshall 1959 Super Lead
Marshall
27% matchKeep the LVX's complex, studio-grade delay in the '76 Super Lead's loop, clear of the amp's own raw British breakup.
Friedman Pink Taco V2 Combo
Friedman
25% matchMeris LVX Delay is voiced for Marshall-style amps — Friedman Pink Taco V2 Combo gives it exactly that
Mesa Boogie Electra-Dyne Simul-Class 45/90-Watt 1x12"
Mesa Boogie
24% matchKeep the LVX's ambient delays in the Electra-Dyne's loop so they trail the amp's own high-gain stages instead of getting swallowed by them.
Friedman Small Box 50 Head with 1x12 Cabinet
Friedman
23% matchKeep the LVX in the Small Box 50's loop for ambient, MIDI-controllable delay behind that modern, articulate rock gain.
Hiwatt DR103H
Hiwatt
23% matchThe LVX's ambient, MIDI-controlled delay belongs in the Hiwatt's loop, clear of the amp's own articulate headroom.
Pedals that stack with the Meris LVX Delay
Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster
Dallas
13% matchKeep the LVX's ambient, complex delay after the Rangemaster's treble kick — the boost provides the gain, the delay just repeats it.
ProCo RAT 2
Proco
13% matchThe RAT's dark, cutting distortion is a rawer gain than the LVX's own ambient, MIDI-controllable delay offers on its own.
MXR Phase 90
MXR
12% matchPut the Phase 90 ahead of the LVX's delay repeats so the modulation gets echoed cleanly instead of smearing into the trails.
Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII The Analog Leslie Simulator
pedal
11% matchMeris LVX's ambient, complex delay textures pair with the Rotosphere's rotary swirl for layered motion — modulation on modulation, not more gain.
T-Rex BetaVibe Chorus/Leslie
T Rex
6% matchKeep T-Rex BetaVibe Chorus/Leslie's modulated voice out front: Meris LVX Delay goes after T-Rex BetaVibe Chorus/Leslie in the signal chain so its ambient voice doesn't muddy it
