New Meris pedal - sounds synthy

AngryGoldfish

Imma get this pedal as soon as I can. The market sorely needs more synth pedals.

Meris said they're shipping stock to all international distributers through this month.

Just popped in to say the same after they responded to my email. Can't believe there's only 3 of them in the team! 

EDIT: Just got a response from their Europe & UK distributor: 

"It will start shipping by the end of the month and the ERP is £319.

It will be listed at more UK dealers shortly but if you wish to preorder now you can do so with Gear4Music."

The PedalZone demo on YouTube is outstanding. It's like a dreamworld in pedal form and combined with a lush reverb/delay it would sound unreal.

Preorder with Gear4Music confirmed. Estimated delivery: between 21st and 25th Sept. 

Cannot bloody wait...

Have to agree with this. Its amazing. I'm going to get a pre order sorted today.

So where does this sit in a chain and what does it connect out to? A guitar amp? FRFR?

In the Helix it can easily connect to a loop, but is it then in its own chain, (with other effects if required), into a clean amp?

I’ll probably put it after tuner>comp and before my dirt pedals. If I was playing in stereo I’d have it after dirt.

And into a clean guitar amp like a Hiwatt or Fender Twin?

Heathen.

I have a Boss SY300 which is amazing, very tweakable and sounds great. But I think this might trump it for ease of use and it will fit on my Helix board.

I was a die hard fender amp lover for years. 
My hiwatt blew my twin out of the water

Well you shouldn’t have been using it in the bath.

Which Hiwatt did it?

would love a DR103 at some point but prices have gone mental.

Can't remember which Hiwatt is in the Helix, but its become a platform for a lot of patches for me

TBH, its the best amp model in there but truthfully doesn't react the same as the real thing.

Nowhere near. It doesn't have the headroom like the real thing. If I put my broadcast through the helix it simply cant cope. 
And that for me is the best thing about a hiwatt, it had headroom for days and it really makes every pedal you plug into it sparkle.

I’m interested to see how this compares to the Synthonizer in the Eventide H9. I also use MIDI Guitar to play Moog synths on my iPad using a the guitar, which works really really well.
