Meris · pedal

The Meris Mercury7 is a studio-grade reverb pedal from Meris (Los Angeles, California), delivering lush, expansive reverb algorithms including Cathedra (cathedral) and Room modes inspired by vintage 1970s film studio reverb hardware. Meris was founded by former Roland/BOSS engineers and the Mercury7 is considered one of the finest reverb pedals available. Loved by ambient, shoegaze, and studio players for its lush, expansive, detailed reverb character.
