On June 23rd, 2023, I bought a Meris LVX delay pedal, and went right to France to summer holidays with it. Basically a honeymoon ... the LVX is definitely my favourite pedal ever (and I bought my first pedal in 1986). So, most of the presets that you can hear in this video were programmed in a tent at the atlantic coast about an hour from Bordeaux. Welcome to a little no-talking demo :-) • • 00:00 - Pre-Credit (Anne Clark – Our Darkness) • 00:29 - Intro: Granular delay • 00:49 - Intro: Octave-pitched swells • 01:04 - Intro: Empress Reverse Mode C style atmospheres • 01:59 - Bucket brigade delay (The Police – Walking on the Moon) • 02:43 - Digital delay (The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition) • 03:02 - Tape delay (Billie Eilish – Lost Cause) • 03:42 - Multitap delay (David Bowie – Let’s Dance) • 04:01 - #1: Organ • 04:22 - #2: Creating beats with the Multi Filter delay engine • 04:44 - #3: Faux Bass (Daft Punk – Around the World) • 04:56 - #4: Envelope Filter • 05:08 - #5: Emulating a wah-wah pedal • 05:30 - #6: Faux side-chain compression pad • 06:02 - #7: Resonant low-pass DJ filter on the loop • 06:24 - #8: Sequenced pitch-shifting melodies (J.

Sampha – 3 Hour Drive) • 20:02 - Outro • Several Meris LVX patches from this video are, or will be made, available for download on • https://patchstorage.com/author/thegu... • • Disclaimer: • I’m not affiliated to Meris or any of their distributors, I paid full retail price for my LVX. This video is an independent production, nobody paid for it. Though I love my LVX and prefer it over my other flagship digital pedals (Strymon Timeline, HX Stomp and Eventide H9), the current LVX firmware version 1.1 still has quite some bugs and usability quirks, and still lacks some features that I would consider essential. Hope Meris will address those in future firmware releases. • Examples: • A. No undo/redo functionality on the looper. • B. No smoothing on looper punch in/out points, thus often clicking noises. • C. LFO timing is unstable. • D. No way to manually restart LFOs and sequencer. • E. You get a beautiful analog dry path, but you lose it as soon as you put the looper in the “Post Mix” position (Strymon solved this better on the Timeline). • F. [FIXED] You cannot un-sync the delay on individual presets from MIDI clock (like, on slapback echo or faux reverb presets which should always maintain a fixed delay time). EDIT: this was fixed in firmware 1.2.1 • G. Envelope functionality is buggy; works well for envelope filter, but not for ducking delay/reverb trails. • But that is all fixable. I love the fact that the LVX allows so much more sound design flexibility than any other effects pedal that I know (except maybe the Empress ZOIA, which I haven’t held in my hands yet). • • Gear used: • Meris LVX Modular Delay System • Roland EV-5 Expression pedal and Skinpimp Skinbender Mk.
