Meris announced the LVX Modular Delay System on May 17, 2022, describing it as a delay pedal that "breaks the paradigm of pre-set delay types in favor of freedom and flexibility"1. The company said the pedal is scheduled to begin shipping domestically in late Summer 2022 and worldwide thereafter1. Guitar.com and Guitar World reported on May 18 that it was available to preorder for $59923.
The pedal is built around a modular architecture of discrete processing elements and control signal modifiers that players connect as desired1. Meris lists 2540mS of dual delay, selectable note divisions for each side of the stereo delay, an Advanced ARM Processor, a premium analog signal path with 24-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating point DSP, and a JFET input section1. Processing elements include Preamps, Granulize, Cassette and Poly Pitch, plus elements from the Polymoon, Hedra, Enzo and Ottobit Jr.1. Guitar World reported that the pedal was designed over two years and has an onboard screen with five pages for tonal control3.
Meris lists an always available true stereo 60-second looper, 99 preset locations in 33 banks, a Favorite Preset Bank for three presets, and an instant access tuner1. Connectivity includes stereo input and output on separate jacks, switchable headroom for instrument or synthesizer and line levels, MIDI In and Out over standard MIDI Din jacks, and an expression pedal jack1. Guitar.com also reported a USB-C port on the back panel2. Guitar World counted four footswitches and seven control knobs, with the footswitches handling preset engage and bypass as well as looper functions3.
"LVX is a Modular Delay System which breaks the paradigm of pre-set delay types in favor of freedom and flexibility."
Meris said the pedal is designed and built in California, in a white powder coat finish1.
