Absolutely! Not as tweakable as the MercX but not as expensive or big either!

@thepedalcollaborative Exactly..we are lucky to have Merc X all the same..🤘

oh that's a hard question to answer! When I got the first M1, I liked it so much that I used the vinyl lo-fi sound on a lot of tracks on the first Swallowed by Sound album, then it inspired me to get their Julianna because I like the chorus so much, and then the Monumental because I liked the tremolo so much! This Mkii can do a whole lot more, so we shall see!

I should add....this video didn't sell it to me :(

I wouldn't say this video was intended to "sell" you on it, but to give you an idea of the sounds it can make right off the bat. The First Sounds videos are meant more to show you how easy it is to get sounds, the depth of parameters, etc.

I haven't tried the Synethesia or Terraform, but I believe the Synethesia can do 2 modulation effects at the same time. Definitely something to check out!

@@thepedalcollaborative for sure! That’s what it did too..I want to love a modulation pedal but am yet to find the one. This may well be the one or the synesthesia…but then I think..just get a h90. Haha

@ACIDLOVE. Oh the H90! I want one too haha

I second this!

Why thank you! I'll do a deeper dive into these where I talk. This is more just exploring the sounds of the pedals!

thanks so much!

Ooh interesting! What specifically would you like to see?

welp that's embarssing! Just fixed it! Thanks for letting us know!

We’d be happy to do a longer one! What would you like us to cover?

@@thepedalcollaborative maybe deeper fuzz territory ( or a comparative with the singularity - does the clipping mode change a lot with the blackhole - ) .....and the others two ....but the real deal is without interface (just a few people do this but it's actualy a lot more informative .....if you can ?

@pumpkins6293 what do you mean by “without interface”? Just want to make sure I’m understanding correctly

@@thepedalcollaborative just the sound of the amp in the room

Hey thanks! No you don’t have to live in the US to participate! We will ship worldwide, but any tariffs or import fees may be on the receiver

We love the BHS!!! Paul likes to add flair, hence the skeleton :)

Thanks so much! I’m not familiar with that song so I’ll have to check it out!

Oh yeah it’s the best!

@@thepedalcollaborativedefinitely, i already loved my polytune 3 minis . But now i have a picture of my dogs on my board 😅

@ianlovelessofficial it’s such a great idea!

In hindsight I realize I set them all up the way I play…which is transparent to light OD. Next time I’ll pull some variety 😆

You’re quite welcome! Just tried to showcase the sounds that were the most musical to the ears!

Toan is in the aesthetics so no judgement! There are some brands I can’t get past because of looks so I totally get it!

What keeps me away is how generic they all sound (minus a select few), their super limited feature sets, and the prices for said feature sets (among other things).

Fair enough! I think what they did for the “boutique” pedal world early on was pretty great. As with everything, not every release is a home run, and some could say many more recent JHS releases haven’t been. This one is pretty good though and worth the price of admission I think. You get the 3 solid, albeit generic, delay modes and the ability to do chorus or vibrato on all of them. It’s basically the modulation from the DMM and giving you the ability to put it on the DD-5 and DL4!

@@thepedalcollaborativeThe reverse mode is what kicks it into “oh yeah” territory for me. But i’m a shoegaze person

@sub-jec-tiv it’s so good!

Send me one!

Interesting. I just checked and had sound.

…simply to continue the theme of what the MercuryX can do

I will say, the Blackout MercuryX with the white LVX is like walking into a formal event wearing a tuxedo. They look great together!

Typo? Or strategic word placement? 🤔

@@thepedalcollaborative Or clickbait 🤐

Weak uncreative clickbait 😆

thats what i came here to say as well

It’s a great preset..hard to move away from

First there’s nothing wrong with having a favored preset you don’t ever leave. You still have the other 98 slots for when you want or need to move to something else. If you have any of our preset packs they can be a great place to start exploring more as well!

I feel you. think I would do way more exploration if there was an editor so i wasn't bent over for 30 minutes menu diving all the time

@azazabacheche3973 there IS an editor for MercuryX! It’s amazing. It’s called prEDITOR and you can get it here: www.meris.us/product/preditor-editor-librarian/

Just be brave and use the other sounds. That’s what I had to do 😊

Thanks! Demedash makes some great pedals!

Right on!!!

Great question! The Audient Sono can reamp, and it had optical in, so I have my guitar going straight into the tube preamp on the Sono. I have it then going into the Benson VST then out the reamp channel of the Sono into the Too Positive, into the Meraki. Out the Meraki into channels 3&4 via a Behringer ultra gain optical 8-channel preamp. Only the final stereo signal is being recorded in Pro Tools. Hope that helps! Any questions let me know!

@@thepedalcollaborative Ok great thank you for replying!! I have a Nano Cortex which I am going to try and make work with this.. So guitar into NC, then out (line level) in stereo to Meraki, then into my Apollo twins inputs. Do you think the Meraki will accept line level inputs from the Cortex? If not could you suggest a workaround? Thanks.. loving the cahnnel!!

That should work! The Meraki should have no problem with the level the NC sends. Have fun! And thanks for being a part of the channel! Check out the podcast too if you want to hear us just talking about pedals and such 😂

@ ooh nice I need a new podcast for the commute! See you there

@gibsguitars we post episodes most every Wednesday to here as well as Apple/Spotify etc. pick your poison and search for “The Pedal Collaborative Podcast” See ya there!

According to Keeley’s website it is!

Which one?

@@thepedalcollaborative chroma console is not a looper. It's just an effects pedal.

@Swel_Remarkable it’s not traditionally a looper, but does have the ability to loop 30 seconds in a completely different way than the microcosm

@@thepedalcollaborative Ah, well thanks for explaining. It's too expensive for me anyway haha. I had a boss rc-505, now thát's a looper :) I had much fun with it.

@Swel_Remarkable it’s nowhere near the looper capabilities of that boss RC! Such a cool pedal

Whatever helps save real estate on the pedalboard to give more room for more pedals!!!

Come to think of, even more so if the second row is ALSO slanted! Then you can’t get to them at all!

@thepedalcollaborative exactly is the worst idea! also as most of the pedalboard are now also slanted (another idiot thing the best is to have a raised second row were you can also put your power supply under)

@electronik808 tiered pedalboards are great for this!

❤️ indeed!!!

I think you’ll really like it! It’s a really great delay.

I want to try out more of the Alexander stuff! Everything I’ve tried so far is top notch!

Good point! That leads me to question what sort of tariffs will affect components coming in that US pedal manufacturers use. PCBs, capacitors, diodes, LEDs, etc. we could ultimately see price increases all around!

@@thepedalcollaborative it depends on what the tariffs are focused on. The US generally takes low level components already built and use them to build higher level equipment. If we keep that focus they will likely put most of the imports on finished goods and not 'raw materials'

@seanbrooks2583 we shall see! Fingers crossed we don’t get hosed all the way around

Yea. I heard lots of people putting the idea of tariffs down, but when I asked if they had a better idea, they stop talking!

Tariffs are economic and political suicide for the U.S. It will swell inflation immediately and take a decade for domestic industry to catch up. Of course, manufacturing moves around, so Tariffs on Mexico would be next, then the next country on and on. It's a pretty backward idea.

You are correct! Some users may want the ease of use provided by the Slöer as opposed to the capability of near-infinity on the MercuryX

??

You can get close with the shimmer but it’s not the same

@@thepedalcollaborative thanks for answering. the difussion thing in the nightsky sounds in the same side of the cloud? i mean big lush almost drony sounds or not? i just check the youtube videos of the nightsky and im wondering to trade my bigsky for a nightsky . (im only using the cloud mode in the bigsky.)

@jakobDium if you only use the Cloud mode then try the nightsky and if that doesn’t do it, get the Cloudburst! Of course you can get a Meris MercuryX and get very cloud-like as well

Yes, you can adjust it. It’s more noticeable here in this video: ruclips.net/video/s_x5xNO70lA/видео.html

@thepedalcollaborative awesome! Thanks. But can it be adjusted on the face of the pedal in any way without using midi devices?

Yes, by adjusting the time, modify, and clock knobs you can make adjustments to the pre-delay without needing midi clock

Agreed!

Nailed it! 🙌

I’ll have to get my hands on a Raster!!!

You’re experiencing it in mono? 🤔

Great minds think alike!

Some people wouldn’t dream of dropping that kind of $$ on a reverb. Or a delay. Or anything really. To others it’s nothing. Whatever is best for you is what you should do!

There’s a happy delay over here…and another little one of there. And look! There’s another happy little delay right here

😆 😆 😆 brilliant! Yeah a Valhalla pedal would be awesome! Even more so if it were free as well!

I think there’s a way to do a wet out and dry out but I’d have to look at the manual to confirm

Why thank you!
