I got these before I even got the pedals and I’m so glad I did. By going into the settings it’s a great way to get a crash course on how the pedals works as well. Big fan of your work, thanks for giving me a jumping off point for my own tones!

It’s honestly wild to me that it’s possible. There’s so many things that are just so bizarre that are possible in these pedals.

Awesome bought these already! Question can the whammy be controlled with an expression pedal? Thank you!
@KenyonReed218 күн бұрын
Yes it can! Basically you set it to expression pedal in the expression options instead of the hold. I ran in to a funny issue, that may have just been my set up, where it wouldn’t glide all the way up but would stop right beneath the final full octave up. That’s why I opted for the button with this effect specifically since it needs to be accurate. Plus, also the button is universally friendly from a selling preset standpoint since everyone has that but not everyone has an expression pedal.

Very good man! Been loving the presets. Obviously you added a ton of boost/ drive at times in the video but overall for the typical clean tone here were you adding anything except compression?
@KenyonReed23 ай бұрын
Thanks, and I’m glad you’ve been loving them! For this particular video and the other Meris video, I used my RX Overdriver set to a first gain stage volume and just left it on the whole time.

Kenyon, sounds AMAZING! But I wouldn’t expect anything else! What amps/modeler are you using for this video?!

Thanks man!! Here I’m using Amps and it’s a JMI 30/6 and a fender Hotrod Deluxe White Lightning

@@KenyonReed2 awesome! I figured you weren’t using a modeler, but if you were, I wanted to know where to get the patch! Haha. I knew it sounded too real! I’ve begun to notice that it seems modelers just get “muddy” with wet effects in front of the amps, at least for me!

Wow do these ever sound so crisp! Kenyon, do you keep your pre-delay on your verbs quite high? Mind boggling how clear it sounds all while still having a lush long decay

You know, I actually haven’t been using a lot of pre-delay on these. So surprisingly there’s still a lot of clarity even with that.

Do you set your expression pedal to control the mix from 0%-100%? Or do you set it from something like 20%-80%?
@KenyonReed23 ай бұрын
From 0-100% and it’s sending that message from the RJM. So my expression pedal is going to the RJM and then that is sending from there.

What does the hold modifier do for these presets on the mercury x. Can it be easily set for freeze cause I’ve noticed some of the good factory presets in this pedal have all these LFOs on the hold modifier that drastically change the sound of the preset if you want to change the hold modifier to just freeze
@KenyonReed23 ай бұрын
It can be programmed to do any number of things. I didn't dive in to any of that for this batch of Presets of mine, I was more determined to accomplish some strong basics once I got the feel of all the reverbs dialed. Future presets I dive in to will likely be utilizing a lot more of the bizarre possibilities.
@Chadscooking3 ай бұрын
@@KenyonReed2 trying to find out - with your patches are we able to keep their original sounds and still use the infinite freeze hold with the modifier ..to then play over the top of, which is really fun and sounds kool or will we need to remove and turn off the lfo’s that are attached to each preset and modifier to achieve that ..which could drastically change the sound of yourpreset, just to use the freeze hold on the modifier?
@David_Perez063 ай бұрын
@@Chadscooking doesnt seem like he added anything to the modifiers so im guessing you can add that infinite to any preset you would want. I dont have any but form what Kenyon's response was it seems like its not super complicated settings in the presets. just some good basic sounds like a "starter pack".

There may be, but my Mercury X presets come with a short video explaining how to use Sysex Librarian to import them. And then there is an actual editor from Meris for the LVX called PrEDITOR. It is a desktop editor. You at least need to make sure you have a usb/midi cable/interface.

Yeah, I’ll take that note. At the end of the day, the goal was just to show a brief maybe 15 seconds per preset to just show what they are. I’m not looking to write a song behind each preset showcase. I save that for when I’m actually tracking for something.
