Meris LVX — 10 Favorite Stereo Sounds
The most ambitious delay pedal I've ever played. The Meris LVX is not a delay with presets — it is a modular delay system where you design the delay from scratch. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
In this episode the Meris LVX Modular Delay System takes center stage — running into the Frank Brothers Ultralight with Lollar El Rayo Humbuckers and Lollar Firebird on a Blender Pot, into the Benson Amps Monarch and Benson 2x12" cabinet. After several weeks with the presets, this is a deep dive into what the LVX actually is and how it sounds when you make it your own.
Most delay pedals give you a fixed architecture: input, delay, modulation, output. The LVX breaks that completely. It features discrete processing elements and control signal modifiers that can be connected in any desired configuration for nearly infinite flexibility. The processing elements include modules drawn directly from the Meris catalog — Polymoon, Hedra, Enzo, and Ottobit Jr., alongside all-new elements including Preamps, Granulize, Cassette, and Poly Pitch.
Each of those elements can be placed in one of four locations in the signal path: pre-delay with dry signal, pre-delay only, in the feedback loop, or post-delay. Put modulation before the delay for classic chorus-then-delay behavior. Put it in the feedback loop and the modulation accumulates with each repeat. Put a preamp in the feedback path and the repeats get progressively hairier. This is the difference between a delay with modulation and a modular delay system.
The onboard display makes navigating the architecture visual and immediate. 99 preset locations across 33 banks, with a Favorite Preset Bank for instant access to three top presets. 2540ms of highly configurable dual delay. 24-bit/48kHz conversion, 32-bit floating-point processing internally. True stereo 60-second looper. MIDI and expression throughout. Digitally controlled analog mix bus.
The LVX reveals its true character in stereo — parked between two amps, the true stereo processing becomes something you feel as much as hear.
