Meris Hedra 3-Voice Rhythmic Pitch-Shifter Demo

[@MerisUs]

Much Luv Stefan. Wow - You truly make our stuff come to LIFE. Unbelievable.

[@bonsaibloom]

r u guys wizards?

[@markolijus]

@@bonsaibloom scientists...

[@SynthsandSounds]

I hope you can offer Stefan a bit more than just love - look at the other comments, he really makes people buy your stuff

[@thepedalzone]

Your gear makes my creativity come to life. Thank you ❤️🙏

[@betweenthelines]

Meris just knew he’d slay this 🔥🔥🔥

[@Green_44_]

Am I the only one who immediately wants every pedal he demos?

[@thepedalzone]

Awwwww, schucks. Blushing here

[@guilhem-valaye]

I’m with you!🤘

[@kevotheclone]

You are not alone; Stefan could make any pedal sound great!

[@StuartRochabrunt]

Nope, you're not alone with your GAS.

[@jodysanders1111]

I know what you mean.

[@E0001-i9j]

Stefan, I’m not sure that you understand the importance and influence you have on the people watching you. You are a role model and an inspiration. You are also a dream weaver! Thank you for the dimensions you create and the portals you open. I often go there when I need recreation and when the world feels dark. If you ever feel lost, I want you to remember that you touched my soul and you continuously push my life in a positive direction.

[@pCeLobster]

This is potentially the greatest gear demo I've ever seen. You're elevating this entire format man. This channel is the most groundbreaking, substantive, artistically relevant, and tasteful resource for effects on the Internet.

[@electraazteca6002]

Rxactly

[@Jas-tb9rq]

... after knobs

[@Jas-tb9rq]

... no disrespect btw, am sure stefan would agree ;)

[@markjohnstonofficial]

This might be my favorite demo you’ve done. These arrangements are gorgeous.

[@thepedalzone]

Means the world, my friend. Thank you so much ❤️🙏

[@markusbrandstetter]

The best pedal makers at the moment meet the best channel (with no offense to the mighty knobs). What a joy to watch and listen to.

[@thepedalzone]

Deeply deeply honored. Thank you! Knobs is still nr.1 in my book though 😊❤️🙏

[@bille77]

I HATE knobs. That's not playing the guitar anymore. All he does is fidgeting and fumbling around.

[@thepedalzone]

@@bille77 - To each their own. I love him and his style. If all he does is fidgeting and fumbling, then I wish I was as good at it as him ☺

[@gloamingtime]

Both channels have their strengths and both bring out the best of these pedals. I found this channel after watching a bunch of knobs and I love them both. I especially love when they both feature the same pedal because I get a larger idea of what it's capable of.

[@irvingperes]

Dude, this is one of the most beautiful pedal videos I've ever watched.

[@thepedalzone]

Oh wow! Thank you so incredibly much. Super happy to hear you enjoyed the sonic ride ❤️🙏

[@composersgarage]

you are a mad scientist seriously. A: Ive spent like a thousand on pedals in the past week because of you,, and B: never stop blessing us with your genius. Cheers

[@jesperbc]

I wish I could like this video twice. Production level is through the roof in terms of sound and visuals, and you really showcase a vastness of sonic possibilities that most people can onyl dream of. You get a total of five likes from me!

[@thepedalzone]

5 likes? Where do we go from here? What’s the scale like? Is it 1-100 likes?? Hmmm. I choose to be wildly flattered without knowing the full depths of your rating system. Thank you, my friend. Your feedback and support always means so much to me 🙏

[@MrTravellingGuitar]

I bought a Hedra because I wanted a pitch shifter and saw it at the UK Guitar Show a few weeks ago. Your demo unlocks stuff that I didn't find in the manual, which is very short and not very clear. Your demo, on the other hand, is very clear. It made me realise that I need an expression pedal at the very least. Along with a ton of other stuff... It is a hugely powerful pedal. Thank you!

[@MrTravellingGuitar]

I found that to get the Midi interface working, you need to get the Meris Midi I/O box. The expression pedal connection is pretty interesting.

[@ShallieDragon]

Meris is really on their game. Each of these pedals is so incredibly feature-dense and elaborate. I'm quite impressed.

[@thepedalzone]

100% agree :)

[@derekdoessound]

Watched a few other demos and was feeling proud that I didn't "need" the shiny new Meris pedal... and then Stefan came along and did this.

[@thepedalzone]

I’m “sorry” 😊😊🙏🙏

[@paulfox1020]

Likewise 🤪

[@davidhall5233]

Stephen you are so much more than a KZbin demo guy. You sir are truly a MUSICIAN and I think that is the main reason your demos resonate so much with all of us. I gotta know man... when are you going to start releasing albums?!?!? Trust me I’ll smash that buy button just as fast as that like on you videos. 😁 Appreciate ya bro! Keep up the good work!! PS this pedal is rad!!! 💥🎸🔥🎸🔥

[@MadeAirbreak]

Amazing. The Meris feature video didn't sell this to me at all. But your creative and musical practice has really created some amazingly beautiful and compositions and soundscapes. Now i'm sold! Not sure I'll ever use it for anything other than just floating away on my own, but that may just be enough!

[@paulfox1020]

I know, I thought that this was the one meris pedal that I DIDN’T want...until stefan’s beautifully crafted composition...as always 🤗

[@thepedalzone]

Cheers, buddy! Trust me, something like this is amazing in a band/song-context (especially in stereo). Can really make melodies stand out. I used a Digitech TimeBender a lot in my old band, and I greatly enjoyed that pedal, but Hedra is something else. Just tracks and sounds a trillion times better.

[@Benjomatic]

I come back to this video every few months because of the track at the end. Bon Iver would've been proud to have written this.

[@thepedalzone]

Incredibly kind words. Thank you! Honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Bon Iver ❤

[@LukeAndrewFlint]

This brought a big smile to my face with the keyboard arpeggio sounds. So beautiful!

[@thepedalzone]

That's my favorite part as well. When I first discovered that sound I was over the moon. It's just sonic happiness :)

[@radkon67]

You've inspired me to "get under the bonnet" with this pedal. Your jams are thoroughly epic and musical!

[@thepedalzone]

Honored to hear that the demo has made you want to explore this pedal deeper. It's such a wild device. Does so much and does it all really well

[@Stiktriks]

This tutorial is a beautiful Guitargasm from start to finish. Epic!!!

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww, man! THANK YOU!

[@noisegenerator]

You always do incredible things with the Meris stuff! This pedal sounds incredible, so glad they had you demo again! I need one.

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks, buddy! Extremely kind of you 🙏

[@collectoremitter]

Man, that jam at the end! You make this thing sound magical!

[@thepedalzone]

Honored, my friend! Your demo was brilliant as well :)

[@harrietHHH]

I just love your demos Stefan. You always show the potential of a pedal which is so helpful. Your enthusiasm and sweet demeanor is so lovely too. I guess I have to get this one now.

[@thepedalzone]

Awwwww! Thank you. Means so much to me ❤

[@barefootbeardedwizardry]

I’m always amazed at what you can do with pedals, & this is no exception. I think if most of us sat down with this we’d walk away going, “okay that does some cool weird things, but there’s no practical use for it.” You really show how things like this can be used in a real musical way.

[@-vb-1592]

Good lord that is a beautiful composition you built for this demo. It makes me nostalgic for something I can't even identify. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. I love it.

[@SanderAnderon]

wow, just wow...I'm a year late to the Hedra party--never been much into pitchshifting until this pedal. Man, your demo(s) are amazing...just subbed to you and bought my Hedra (and Polymoon) after watching your vid this morning. Keep up the great work!

[@bobparker8294]

This is the best video I've seen so far on how to use the Hedra. I just got one a few days ago and I'm amazed at the level(s) of complexity lurking beneath those six simple-looking knobs. You do an excellent job of peeling back the layers of the onion so it's easy to see what's in there. Thanks for this video.

[@awol.oper8r]

Its like Earthquaker's Organizer, Pitch Bay, Disaster Transport, and Rainbow Machine all put in one pedal. Very cool!

[@TheFarout69]

I went on and on about the pedal but I wanted to Stephan to know what a great musician he is- Tasteful and melodic. Just lovely dude! One of my favorite gear demo guys right here. Cheers!

[@thepedalzone]

Scott, dude! Insanely kind of you. Thank you ❤

[@neonether]

Holy hell. Most epic demo of all time. Just bought like 5 or 6 pedals so this one will have to wait till next round. Well done man. Really unbelievable stuff.

[@thepedalzone]

Oh wow! I’m deeply honored, man. So happy you liked the demo ❤️🙏

[@joshbabbitt9243]

Stefan, you are a true composer! Massive love for you and your channel. Every single time I watch a vid, you always seem to blow me away. Please, don't ever stop doing this 🙏💯♥️

[@CaseyBush82]

Wow!! The song you built at the end was truly beautiful. It gave me chill bumps, man. Phenomenal job!

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww, man! Super stoked to hear you enjoyed the final jam. I had a blast making that :) Got lost in those bouncing harmonies for hours.

[@tappistrt]

Come for the pedal demos, stay for the amazing songs, compositions, & soundscapes. Subbed!

[@thepedalzone]

So kind of you! Thank you so much for subscribing. Truly means the world to me :)

[@jovianstar]

So awesome, I keep buying Meris pedals because of your incredible demos, thanks for all you do!

[@thepedalzone]

Super humbled! Incredibly cool to hear you find my demos inspiring and helpful in your purchase decisions. Hedra is ridiculously rad!

Absolutely too kind. I’m really happy you’re enjoying the demos though. Thank you 🙏

[@commodoor6549]

You have a knack for bringing out the best in a pedal.

[@vanhohenhiem5987]

Omg 😮 your compositions for this demo are absolutely amazing!! It’s like this thing was made for you! Another awesome demo! 🤘🏻

Super humbled and honored by your kind words. Thank you :)

Cheers! I love how experimental Meris pedals can get

[@shoseinen]

[@xendominus1567]

a third way thru demo.... jaw dropped... pedal ordered. Thank You Stefan for again blowing minds and lifting spirits!!! LOL looked... was really a fourth way thru :)

Haha! Awesome! I'm stoked that you found my demo inspiring. You're gonna love your new Hedra :)

[@millardbrown4769]

Fantastic demo. You showed the technical side by making beautiful music. Thanks.

[@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii]

Dope video, as always! Meris is killin' it. Cant wait to hear what people come up with using this pedal. The swells are so purdy and the stutters ... dang.

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed it, man. Yeah, the stereo panning auto-swell sounds are my favorite sounds as well 👍

[@nathanschneider1805]

Man, once again your demo is the best! The other ones are good, but don't do the pedal justice like this does. Thank you for sharing!

[@thepedalzone]

I'm deeply honored, man. Thank you so much for the kind words and support.

[@scomu9742]

This video never gets old. So great. So beautiful. So inspiring

Dude, you give the best descriptions of how stuff sounds! Love your reviews!

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so very much ❤

[@coreyharen24]

Your demos are so good dude hahaha, been wanting this for a long time and ordered one after watching this, same thing happened with your Polymoon demo 😂

[@Wakkawakkawakkawah]

Are you the nicest person doing in depth analysis on pedals and stuffs?!!! U Juss might be 😊.

[@Osmone_Everony]

Man I love the way you present the potential of pedals. Unlike others who simply go through the settings and hit some random notes, you always deliver a great sound and music experience along the way. I also like the way you describe the sounds in a very immersive way, full of fantasy. You and Emily Hopkins are my favorite.

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Sounds great. Well done Stefan and Meris.

[@thepedalzone]

Cheers, gang! Kind of ya. Meris really did bring their A-game here 👌

[@briandoherty3364]

Gorgeous demo. Beautiful music and poetic descriptions, plus really detailed patches for the sounds you're making. I wish all demos were like this. Cheers!

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you! A lot of work into it all. Happy to hear that you enjoyed the final result. Makes it all worth it 🙏

[@StuartRochabrunt]

I come here now and then just to enjoy the music. This is when the mere demonstration of a pedal becomes art.

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww, man! Blown away. Thank you ❤

[@MrJaapdeboer]

Wow. Just, wow. This is not something I see myself buying anytime soon (or ever), but God how I loved watching this demo for the sake of musicality and creativity

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you! That is very kind of you to say 🙏

[@jodysanders1111]

Awesome ! I'm taking this outro piece you played,to work today. Of course I can only replay it in my head,but it was just that good. Great video....speechless.

[@lifesynthtance]

Totally stunning sounding pedal and unbelievable talent. You’ve sold me on a Hedra !

[@thepedalzone]

I'm deeply honored! Thank you. You're gonna love Hedra. It's such a stunning world of sounds ❤

[@williewilson9836]

Another amazing demo 🙏 another amazing pedal by Meris....

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you very much!

[@LGFaler]

I was waiting all day for Meris to make the announcement and when I saw the video on their website I thought "eh... it's cool, but I don't need it." Once again, though, as soon as I hear you play something, I have to find a way to get it on my board. You really know how to showcase the capabilities of these peals, Stefan.

[@thepedalzone]

Super honored, man! Thank you :) Hope you get one. It's a killer pedal!

[@nicolas.lalonde]

that mood swing trick shot at 10:10 is completely amazing. i definitely get how this pedal enhances your creativity.

[@thepedalzone]

Cheers, man! There's so many creative possibilities hidden inside this pedal. Infinite sonic options.

[@napotronix]

Wow, that jam at the end is mesmerising. Beautiful sound and playing man

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks a lot!

[@SkyP1e]

I've been watching youtube video demos of this pedal all day. I'm a keyboardist (not a guitarist) but I think I really want this pedal. I can imagine doing so many cool things with it.

[@thepedalzone]

I honestly think this pedal truly shines on keys. The synth piece in my demo is personally my favorite part and a segment I had a blast filming. You should definitely get it if you’re a jays player 👍

[@coltrane2323]

Stefan I found your channel only recently and LOVE it. Great job, keep it up

[@thepedalzone]

Extremely kind of you. Thank you! Stoked to have you here 🙏

[@garethcole8416]

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you kindly! :)

[@KR-no1or]

This pedal and playing just blew my frickin mind.....I need this next to my polymoon

Meris does it again. Damn them to hell, Damn them. And you are my go to guy for showing me what pedals can do. Thx!

[@thepedalzone]

They 100% did it again. I'm constantly floored by their immense creativity when it comes to sound design. Really happy you enjoyed the demo. Means the world to me :)

[@BoaeCH]

Sweet lord give us an EP/album man I don't know something !!! xD The way you blend your music with pedal effects is astounding. I would listen to that all day long, I mean it ^^

[@thepedalzone]

Awwwww, man! Thank you. Extremely kind of you ❤

[@tusleplopp1]

I think you might have talked me into yet another purchase. I always thought meris pedals were too much for me, but i feel like the hedra is made to sit on my board! Great demo, i definetely want to try this one out!

[@dylanlarson435]

MERIS might be the best pedal company out there

[@thepedalzone]

They are definitely bringing their A-Game with every single release 👍

[@SPaulAndrewMaertens]

Even though you’re clearly gushing with praise for the pedal 99% of the time, thank you for mentioning its polyphonic limitations there at the end. Important information for some people to have for sure. Also thank you for a beautiful review both sonically and visually.

[@kotanecrosis96]

Once again creating super awesome textured ambient post-rock sounds! Stefan, you’ve shown us what you can do with all your EQD pedals. Now you should make a video of a chain with all of your other Meris pedals and show us all the crazy deep, ethereal, spacious, and textured compositions and sounds we can get out of them. That would be super cool!

[@pedalscapes]

Fantastic Sounds! Thank you :) No seriously! This is A-ma-zing! Suberb demo!

[@GhostShipPartIV]

When I saw Meris' post on this pedal in Insta was thinking 'Can't wait to see a ThePedalZone vid on this' then a scroll later my pedal wishes had been answered haha. Amazing demo as always!

[@thepedalzone]

Happy I was able to deliver just in time 😊🙏

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Great demo as always Stefan, coming back to this and thinking I might need one...

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you very much! 🙏You should definitely go and try it out. It's a wonderfully inspiring machine 😊

Magic as always my man. Between you and Nick Reinhart I'm always sold on pedals. He brings out the weird, out there wtf stuff. You wrap it up in a nice sonic melodic bow. Much love from Texas

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww, dude! Thank you. Nick constantly blows me away as well. I just can't fathom how his mind works. He always takes pedals places my mind could never go. He's my sonic sherpa of weirdness ❤

[@StuartRochabrunt]

11:00 That's already a song. I could even imagine melody and lyrics for that. Beautiful.

[@thepedalzone]
