Description

For sale is my beloved Meris Mercury7 reverb pedal, used with great care and kept in mint condition. This pedal is fully functional, cosmetically flawless, and sounds every bit as inspiring as its reputation. If you’re looking for the most lush, cinematic, studio-quality reverb in a pedal format, the Mercury7 is widely regarded as one of the best ever made, and for good reason.The Blade Runner ReverbThe Meris Mercury 7 reverb pedal was conceived as a deliberate tribute to the lush, cinematic ambience of Vangelis and his groundbreaking score for Blade Runner. Rather than modeling a specific hardware unit outright, Meris set out to capture the emotional atmosphere and spatial depth that defined that soundtrack.A key inspiration was Vangelis’ extensive use of the Lexicon 224, one of the earliest and most iconic digital reverbs. The 224 was known for its modulated tails, diffused textures, and expansive stereo image. Qualities that gave Blade Runner its dreamlike, futuristic sense of space. The Mercury 7 algorithms echo these characteristics through smooth, enveloping decay, subtle pitch modulation, and large, immersive sound fields that bloom around each note and create a spatial dimension that makes any instrument sound like it's moving off into the distance and evolving over time rather than just becoming a long sustaining static texture, like most digital reverbs. Equally important was the sonic identity of the Yamaha CS-80, the expressive polyphonic synthesizer Vangelis used to shape much of the film’s emotive and otherworldly tone. The CS-80’s rich filters, aftertouch expressiveness, and evolving timbres interacted dynamically with heavy reverb from the Lexicon 224, creating a sound that felt both intimate and vast. The Mercury 7 reflects this interplay by allowing modulation, pitch vector control, and dynamic input response to influence the unique evolving characteristics of the reverb tail, so the effect behaves less like a static room simulation and more like an instrument in itself.With its two core modes, Ultraplate and Cathedra, the Mercury 7 focuses on exaggerated, huge, cinematic spaces rather than realistic acoustic environments. The pedal emphasizes long, shimmering decays, harmonic bloom, and atmospheric density, directly channeling the sci-fi romanticism and emotional weight of Vangelis’ ambient production style. In essence, the Mercury 7 was designed not merely to emulate a classic digital reverb, but to recreate the feeling of standing inside the sonic world of Blade Runner: vast, neon-lit, melancholic, and endlessly immersive.Key features buyers search for:Two iconic algorithms: Ultraplate and CathedraMassive, cinematic ambience with pristine sound quality, depth, spaciousness and clarityPitch vector control for otherworldly shimmer and detune effectsSwell mode for auto-volume swell style reverb padsStereo in/out: for studio or advanced pedalboard setupsExpression pedal and MIDI compatibilityHigh-headroom, studio-grade DSP and convertersFrom subtle spatial enhancement to vast and infinite ambient immersion with next-level dimension, depth and sense of spatial distance as the reverb tail decays, the Mercury7 excels in ambient, post-rock, shoegaze, cinematic scoring, experimental, and modern worship contexts. It also sits beautifully in a mix for more traditional applications when dialed back.ConditionMint / Like New – Cosmetically flawlessFully tested and works perfectlyNo velcro, never gigged Music Professional-owned, smoke-free studio environmentPackaging & ShippingI take packing very seriously.
