Meris just keeps pushing to higher standards
Amazing pedal with massive flexibility (just like with their LVX) and sounds from this and other, undiscovered and unexplored universies. Using it both with my guitars (including baritones and 7 strings) and my synthesizers (Elektron family, SOMA Lyra-8, iPad synths). If you are looking for the usual "spring" and "plate" reverbs it can do them greatly but this is not the point. The point is to enter into a sonic adventure beyond anywhere other pedals can take you (including Strymon Big Sky, Chase Bliss, etc).
I strongly recommend this pedal for the sonic explorers.

Lost in space
It's hard to think of any possible parameter you couldn't tweak with this machine. To call it comprehensive would be something of an understatement. "Overwhelming", more like. But in a good way.
Thankfully, the most obscure parameters don't intrude and if you'd never thought of changing the frequency band of reverb trails specifically on the left ear then you don't need to be bothered with it. But for those who like this level of detail, it's good to know it's there.
But what about the sound? I doubt I have the ear to tell the difference between "brands" of reverb. It just sounds incredible, and skipping along the presets is easy enough. Personally, I prefer using it in text mode as the floating bubbles don't jive with the way I think.
If you're into reverb you need to experience this one!

At this price point... Laggy ui?
I wrote this review solely to make other potential buyers aware of the User interface. At this price point, I think they should be able to put a decent CPU to drive the LCD/Display properly. If you use the default UI mode, there are bubbles rotating around, and the frame rate is horrible. Probably in the 10TPS range.
Why do I care? The knobs and physical build is excellent to the touch, but the visual response is lagging. It takes away from the experience of using the pedal.
I know not all people care at all about such things, but I do and if you do, now you know :-)

The Ultimate Reverb Pedal Upgrade
The Mercury 7 has always been one of my favorite experimental reverb pedal, but its one downside was the lack of a screen to view parameters—until now. The Mercury X finally delivers what all Meris enthusiasts have been waiting for.
Just the three 78 algorithms alone make this pedal worth every penny. It's easily the most flexible and modern reverb pedal on the market. Whether you’re looking for subtle vocal enhancements or the most experimental soundscapes for your synthesizer, the Mercury X has you covered.

Not quite...
I was hoping to replace my Eventide Eclipse with this for live performances, but it’s not quite what I expected. The reverbs are nowhere near as good. Not a fan of the UI, as well.

Absolute dream for ambient and synth lovers!
Phenomenal sound quality with unmatched depth. Easy to program presets, crisp UI, and rock-solid construction. Perfect tool for deep, evolving sound design and ambient/drone music.

Currently the best reverb on the market
Tried it, liked it, never going back to another reverb pedal. After an endless quest I reluctantly made the decision to buy one thinking that it will end up being another failure. Nope, this baby made my life better. Whatever you want to play this reverb will deliver. The UI is really easy to learn and the sounds that you can create are abolutely astonishing.
