Meris Polymoon

This is a very unusual delay. Not designed for common application, it's more a sound design and dreamy soundscape tool.
The algo is not another typical "<effect name> in delay feedback line/wet signal" but rather a network of interlinked delay lines with modulation. Such a structure is inspired by rackmount effect units of the past and not found in other similar pedals. The resulting sound is unique and different and maybe not for everyone. Some standard delays can be dialed though.
The overall sound quality is very good and the package is wonderfully designed.
The only flaw is common with other Meris (and also Strymon) pedals: every knob has an alternate function (which may affect sound significantly) and without display it is difficult to read and dial values.

I wanted to try a pedal delay in addition to the plugins I’m using in my DAW, and after trying (and returning) the DM-202 (check my review) and TimeFactor, I purchased the Polymoon - as far as I know there are not that many other delay pedals that accept line level and MIDI. The Polymoon handles both, though you need to buy the Meris MIDI I/O to make MIDI work - which is a bit annoying and almost made me return the Polymoon to buy the LVX instead, which has 5 DIN MIDI.

Now that I’ve connected the Polymoon to the ins and outs of my audio-interface and setup the routing in my DAW, I can confirm it’s a fantastic alternative for plugins: the delay sounds fantastic, is highly modifiable and has an other-wordly phaser that reminds me of that classic Global Communications album.

It recognizes MIDI clock, which for me is an absolute must for delay pedals, and I can control the knob values with CC’s from my DAW or controler, which is especially handy for the Alt-functions.

I have only recently purchased this product, but it was worth the investment. It is the first Meris product I have on my board, but it certainly does not disappoint.

It's crystal clear, no buzzes, no undesired noises.
This is not your standard delay.
It opens up a lot of possibilities.
The secondary functions are great.

pros:
extremely versatile
good build quality

cons: the only thing I can think of is the price, which is kind of high, even though it really pays off the moment you plug in your Polymoon.

Meris has done an outstanding job.
