Meris Mercury X : Synth Soundscapes & First Impressions

@Arcade Orchestra Producer, 80s synth nut and reverb junkie takes the Meris Mercury X for a spin in the Fortress of Synthetude. As always, some honest first impressions and a unique take you probably won't find elsewhere on "GearTube." This was just a first round of impressions as I built some custom presets - there will be more to come with this fantastic reverb pedal! This is a long video but it's broken up into chapters, so feel free to jump around. Let me know what you think in the comments!
