Spaceman Meridian

The Meridian is our most flexible, and sophisticated modulation effect to date, and will instantly whisk you into another dimension.

Its refined control layout makes it intuitive to navigate through a staggering array of liquid chorus tones, rubbery pitch vibratos, vocal flange effects and more. The MN3007 analog bucket brigade IC at the heart of the Meridian has a delay time range of 0.8ms to 50ms making it simple to cover a plethora of time based effects. The high quality signal path surrounding the delay line has been optimized with noise-reducing companding, and custom filtering to keep the tone clear and articulate while providing all the analog warmth BBDs are known for.

The modulation section offers three waveshapes: sine and triangle for classic chorus, vibrato, and flange sounds, and an experimental flux waveshape for off-kilter, slithering, seasick tones that can also add intriguing movement when used subtly.
Rate and Width may be controlled via expression pedal or 0-5V CV. Additionally the LFO may be disconnected opening up double tracking, and comb filter sounds. Negative feedback can be added to the delay line via the regen control for a focused vocal quality that is especially useful at short delay times. The utility of the Meridian is enhanced by a mix control capable of sweeping from 100% wet to 100% dry, and a dedicated level control, something often missing from modulation effects. Transit the Meridian and effortlessly flow across the quantum boundary, warping and bending time to your will.
