MerisMercury 7 500 Series Reverb

Meris Mercury 7

The Mercury 7 is a 500-series reverb from Meris that provides everything from simple plate reverb to huge ambient sound design sounds with two reverb algorithms. Ultraplate features a clean response with a broad range of plate sizes and modulation engine, while the Cathedra is a cathedral algorithm for ethereal soundscapes and a slow build.

The large space/decay knob at the top sets the overall reverb time. High and low frequency controls set how fast the high and low frequencies decay which can provide a more natural room response or can be used to build imaginary reverberative spaces that can't exist in the real world. An internal LFO is also included with modulation depth and LFO frequency controls. The pitch shifter module features selections for octave down, slight pitch down, slight pitch up, 5th up, and shimmer. A swell effect offers ambient reverb swells that create washes of tone. The Mercury 7 also features an internal vibrato effect that comes before the reverb.

Two Mercury 7s can be linked together using a stereo linking cable (sold separately) which copies the settings from one to the other. Every knob and button has a secondary function which can be accessed by holding down the reverb algorithm button and moving the knob, adding further depth to crafting sonic spaces. Mercury 7 is a playable and versatile reverb which can be used to add depth and character to your sounds, in a convenient 500 series package.
