Best cinematic reverb for ambient guitarists and synth explorers.
Immerse yourself in off-world ambience with the Meris Mercury7 Reverb, a pedal inspired by the iconic 1982 Bladerunner soundtrack. Designed for guitarists and synthesists, it crafts vast, ethereal soundscapes with handcrafted algorithmic reverbs like ULTRAPLATE and CATHEDRA. Sculpt your sound with deep controls, including unique intra-tank pitch regeneration and extensive modulation. An auto-swell function and a selectable high-headroom path for synthesizers add further sonic versatility. Built in the USA with a premium analog wet/dry signal path, the Mercury7 delivers pristine audio quality for expansive sonic exploration.

What customers say
The Mercury7 Reverb earns high praise for its exceptional sound quality and inspiring sonic depth. Users consistently highlight the unique Ultraplate and Cathedral algorithms, noting they deliver massive, studio grade textures unmatched by competitors. While the pedal's deep secondary functions require some initial exploration, consumers feel the resulting versatility and premium audio performance overwhelmingly justify the price. This is viewed less as a pedal and more as an essential creative tool.
Know before you buy
Yes. The pedal features a selectable high-headroom path specifically designed to handle the hotter signal levels of synthesizers and line-level gear without clipping.
The Mercury7 utilizes a premium analog wet/dry mix, meaning your dry signal remains untouched by digital processing. This ensures your original tone maintains its clarity and integrity while the reverb is blended in.
ULTRAPLATE is designed for dense, reflective, and plate-like textures, while CATHEDRA offers a more expansive, cavernous sound inspired by large, cinematic spaces. Both are built to create deep, sci-fi-inspired ambient soundscapes.
The Mercury7 features stereo outputs, allowing you to create wide, immersive soundscapes. Note that the input is mono, so you will need to use a TRS cable or adapter if you are running a stereo source into it.
This feature feeds the pitch-shifted reverb signal back into the reverb tank itself. It creates evolving, shimmering, or descending harmonic textures that grow more complex as the reverb tail sustains.
Yes, the pedal includes a variable auto-swell envelope. You can adjust how quickly the reverb blooms, allowing you to create anything from subtle atmospheric pads to dramatic, slow-rising swells.
