Meris? Blade Runnery? Ottobit, Polymoon & Enzo!!

I got an SMS from the postal service saying that they had a parcel for me today. I knew it was the Mercury7 and got super excited. I intentionally didn't listen to any music or anything for hours, just in case I'd miss the sound of the doorbell. Fast forward 7-8 hours and the tracking updates to "failed delivery: recipient not present". Suck my clammy limb, postal worker. I shall make you suffer.

[Invisible Man]

Uh which clammy limb are we referring to?

[UglyCasanova]

The one in dire need of suction.

[Invisible Man]

OK Eivind's feet; got it.

Thanks again to jwar for hooking me up!



Wow. Just. Wow. This is the best sounding reverb I've played, which includes the Eventide Space. I could even get it to sound pretty much exactly like the Vigeland Mausoleum. If that doesn't sell you on the pedal, I don't know what will.

Awww yissssss! ILF teamwork at its finest.

It may not come across in youtube videos and it may not have 50 different types of modes or a cheesy "Beer" setting, but the depth and old character of the Mercury7 is why it's so special to me. There are 1,000s of modulated verb pedals out now, so I can see why some people are skeptical. However, this is definitely not another generic fv-1 ambientz verb that most modern pedal users are accustomed to. I hate beating a dead horse, but it's right up there with my favorite rack verbs.

Ugh... been telling myself I don't need the Mercury because I have a Space... trying to resist the new hotness... you guyz aren't halping

[fcknoise]

It does look interesting... It has a very different feature set than the space, but then again it's smaller, but then again mangledverb is awesome, but then again I could use the meris with dirt, but then again blackhole is awesome, but then again... but then again...

[Jwar]

I don't think the Space and Merc7 sound the same at all. I have an H9 and the Merc7 and use them at the same time for massive destruction. To me the algo's on the 7 sound so organic and amazing. You can however make it sound metallic and ugly if you want.

It's a wonderful reverb and my favorite probably that I've ever owned. I've owned a lot too guys...

Don't know if this helps?:

Hopefully it does! Thanks for posting our clip Chankgeez.

Hey, you're welcome, Angelo, it certainly helped me understand the pedal better. You explained things well.

[UglyCasanova]

What are the factory 'alt functions' on the Mercury7 set to? Where are the dials set, I mean. I really want to start messing around with all that stuff, but I also love the way it sounds straight out of the box (minus the pitch mix, which I prefer to be a bit less prominent in the mix and tweaked accordingly).

Thanks! Glad it was helpful.

Here you go:
Predelay: Knob at minimum
Mod Speed: Knob at 9 o'clock
Pitch Vector Mix: Knob at 1 o'clock
Density: Knob at maximum
Attack Time: Knob at 12 o'clock
Vibrato Depth: Knob at minimum

Also, thanks for the compliments and the comparisons to the hauntingly beautiful Vigeland Mausoleum clip. It truly means a lot to me!
