Can the Meris LVX replace your Timeline or any other basic delay? 

Glad you liked it. I hope it helped!

Glad you liked it!

Welcome fellow nerd! Maybe this is not the best strategy for me to get to a million subscribers?

Also. I always love some modulation. I was only saying that to try and compare it to the other delays a little better. 🙌

@@LoVeAmBiEnT Great point. Yes, the Meris does sound pretty good and it is sooo flexible!

Thanks, glad you liked it. I have still got the Future Factory. Perhaps I will sit down and compare them in detail, but haven't done it yet.

Thanks, glad you liked it. The LVX can do monster reverb sounds! Some of the presets are incredible in terms of giant ambient reverbs. I haven't tried dialling in something more basic, but it definitely does reverb. Check out my other video on the LVX compared to the Free the Tone Future Factory - it gets a bit more like reverb in that video where I try out some diffusion settings.

@@GuitarStuffChannel cool , thanks :)

There's a setting from the polymoon in the LVX called dimension tat could make more of a reverb vibe

Haha. We buy this stuff even if the reviews are bad! Seriously, the LVX is very flexible so if you want to make it clearer you can.

My thoughts entirely! Did you get the LVX in the end?

Interesting question. There are a lot of delays out there, but in my opinion if you want relatively simple with presets then the Boss DD-200 is a really good bet. It has emulations of all the standard delay types, plenty of presets and not too many controls. When I put it up against a few other delays recently it sounded very good, way above its price point.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have had a listen back and you are right - maybe I put too much saturation into the Meris on the analog delay preset.

The QC's delays are very good, but have nowhere near the features of the LVX. In this video I have done a demo of Timmons style dual delays with the QC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jXq5k4_Y70M.html and in this video I've done a detailed comparison of analog delays on the QC (where the QC is okay, but not fantastic) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ypG-ClcehfY.html

By the way, the more I use the QC the more I like it. The user interface is just so rapid and satisfying.

That is a really good point! and I'm not kidding. I think what I was trying to say was 'Is the LVX only good for wacky, ambient stuff or can it do simple meat and potatoes types of sounds'. Sorry!

It all depends on how you like to work and what kind of music you are doing. If you want a delay utility tool then the timeline is it - (relatively) simple to use and delay types segregated. The LVX is more of a delay experimentation workstation that can do anything, but it takes time to dial in. There are other utility delays out there - e.g. empress, source audio and even boss dd-200/500...and plenty more.

LVX barely has reverb, if it even powers on at all. And IF it does power on, on those 50% of the time chances, then IF it doesnt glitch out. Which it will.

I've just listened back and I'm not sure if I can hear it. I can hear a little glitch from my wireless system. Could also be that my signal was a bit too hot for my audio interface on the bass notes. It's not from the LVX.

Yes, good point I put a bit too much in there maybe. I had the DD500, but sold it - I couldn't get on with the menu system. The Meris has a better UI, but not perfect. The Quad Cortex is the best UI out there in my opinion.

I was thinking about it, if the LVX could replace my other delays, my reverb and modulation, and do it better, I could sell them and get it lol

Nothing special - just put the stereo fx loop on the grid and connected stereo cables. I may have checked the levels to ensure unity gain as I seem to remember there were some issues with gain on the QC.

That's a very good point. The presets are mostly way out there and demonstrate how far you can go, but not much that is subtle or usable every day.

Return it???

Never heard such negative comments. Great to hear more...? (about to buy it)

@@jmproductions59 I was a buyer too. Enjoy.

@@jmproductions59 It has a well known glitch where it wouldn't power on, you can google it... they seem to have fixed something, however I can confirm it still happens. It also has a glitch that when using the looper it boosts the volume considerable once the loop finishes. They really have not fixed these issues. It's a good pedal, but it's my first meris (after every strymon pedal) and it will most likely be my last. I was looking forward to a reverb but I can't support the company. They did a soft fix for the issues I mentioned (which you can google) and then they basically said F off. If $600 plus tax for a pedal isn't enough to get a working product, then this is not a company I want to support, unfortunately. For the time being I still have the LVX. If you want experimental sounds with a lot of control that is where it is good. For anything else Id just get a Timeline. Which is what I use over the LVX often. A real shame how the company handled the hardware bugs on this. Also will they be updating the pedal any further? or was it just the "bug fix" update.

@@jmproductions59 Furthermore, look at the Empress Echosystem, million times more well made pedal, and recently Empress allowed you to move the firmware from their reverb pedal onto the echosystem. Which is probably what Meris should be doing, because after my experience I will not be purchasing their reverb pedal. It's the same internals, they should probably give us the option to run the reverb firmware on the delay pedal. And then even beyond all this, what is the LVX really? Its a stunted HX Stomp style pedal, where it has all these effects, yet in most Multi fx where you can create anything, put anything anywhere, etc, with the LVX you are locked into their framework of how you can use the effects. Yes there is a ton of customizability, but bottom line LVX should have been an hx stomp style pedal, and not called a "delay." but then, they are trying to SELL pedals to us suckers, so why not have a separate "reverb" pedal (which is not even that much different than the delay mind you-, and they will probably try to release a "modulation" pedal too. I would reccomend many many things before a Meris pedal, one being a Fractal FM3 which is so far beyond these pedals it's ridiculous. For the price of two of these pedal you can the the Fractal. For the price of less than the LVX you can get the Echosystem, Timeline, Volante (which is a very fun pedal). It is what it is. If you like to program things, get the LVX. Buyer very much beware, but then maybe it was us first adopters that got screwed by the company. Who knows. I can't be a customer of theirs anymore in good faith. First pedal out of the gate they broke that.
