The Meridian: Your Ultimate Analog Modulation Machine
The Meridian is a versatile, analog modulation juggernaut. At its core lies a 1024-stage bucket brigade delay (BBD) line, offering a delay range from 0.8ms to 50ms. This flexibility allows you to craft a wide variety of tones, from lush chorus and true pitch-shifting vibrato to shimmering flange, phasing, and double-tracking effects. Designed with the highest sound quality in mind, the Meridian ensures a clear, articulate tone with the warm analog character that BBDs are known for, all while maintaining an ultra-low noise signal path.
