August 1, 2022 · 4 sources

The Meris LVX was announced in May 2022 as a stereo modular delay system, available to preorder for $599 with shipping in late summer 2022¹². Meris described it as its "greatest feat" and said the pedal took over two years to develop².

The pedal is built around what Meris calls a Modular Delay System architecture, with 2540mS of a "highly configurable dual delay" and an Advanced ARM Processor³¹. It carries 99 preset locations in 33 banks and a Favorite Preset Bank for instant access to three presets³¹. A true stereo 60-second looper is always available³¹. Processing elements include Preamps, Granulize, Cassette and Poly Pitch, alongside engines taken from the Polymoon, Hedra, Enzo and Ottobit Jr.³⁴². The Poly Pitch shifter operates in mono³.

Controls comprise four footswitches and seven knobs, including Time, Feedback, Mix, Mod, a Preset/Pages knob that also saves, and two controller knobs for navigating the color screen⁴². The footswitches handle looper functions, bank browsing and the built-in tuner¹⁴. Guitar World reported the screen provides five separate pages and that the modifiers include two LFO groups, an envelope generator, sample and hold and a sequencer².

Connections include stereo inputs and outputs, five-pin DIN MIDI in and out, an expression pedal jack, a USB-C port for firmware updates, and switchable input headroom for instrument or synth/line levels³⁴. Power is 9VDC center-negative at 300mA or more³. Meris lists a premium analog signal path with 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating point DSP, a JFET input section, and a digitally controlled analog mix bus³.

Guitar.com and Guitar World both reported the $599 preorder price and late summer 2022 shipping¹². The pedal sits in the delay category.
