I've got a mercury 7 and really liking most of it so far. My one bit of feedback is that it seems like I can't ever get the volume in swell mode up to the normal volume when swell isn't engaged. It's just a bit too quiet. Any tips?
Hi worra,
I'm still around! You might want to experiment with shorter swell times using the second layer control underneath the "Pitch Vector" knob.
The swell works by muting the guitar signal during the "attack" portion of the note and then slowly fading in the volume during the sustain and decay portion of the note. If your particular guitar puts out most of its energy just after you pluck the string, then all of that energy might happen during a quiet part of the swell. For example, I get a different response from the swell when I use my telecaster vs my SG (which puts out relatively more of its energy during the sustain of the note).
Hopefully that helps!

Thanks for the reply, will play around with that setting as well as a few different guitars tonight.

Well, judging by how they've transitioned from the 500 series to pedals (following the color-way of their modules), it should be a pre-ampish pedal of sorts

Over on TGP, Terry was saying that they can't fit the pre-amp transformers into a pedal...
but he also used this smiley:

I'm guessing delay, pitch shifter or some form of modulation. I don't see it being a pre amp. I could be wrong though.

Another thought is a full on glitch pedal.

Looks like it's going to be called "Polymoon" and it's a cascading delay pedal?

Pitch and phase?
That's actually pretty cool.
$10 says Meris trifectas will start popping up at churches (or Instagram churches
), though.
