Meris Preset Switch 4-way Footswitch

A switch designed to leverage Meris presets without adding complexity

Meris has built its pedal range around a "studio-grade" approach: rich algorithms, fine adjustments, and the ability to save sounds to switch between different worlds in a fraction of a second. The Preset Switch fits perfectly into this logic: rather than adding a bulky control unit, it provides direct and ultra-efficient access to internal presets while maintaining the brand's ergonomics and aesthetics.

Result: you prepare your sounds at home (or during soundcheck), then recall them on stage with a simple press, without touching the knobs and without interrupting your playing.

Who is the Meris Preset Switch for, and in what contexts does it make a difference?

The Meris Preset Switch is aimed at guitarists (and more broadly musicians using Meris pedals) who want to secure their sound changes : switching from a slapback to an ambient delay, from subtle modulation to a radical texture, or from a rhythmic setting to a lead, without guesswork. It's especially useful if you play live, in studio, or in projects where transitions must be clean and reproducible.

Regarding styles, it fits wherever "scene-based" effects are used: rock, pop, worship, post-rock, ambient, indie, electro, but also any setup where a Meris pedal serves as the "cornerstone" of the pedalboard. Even at an intermediate level, the benefit is immediate: less stress, more consistency, and identical sounds from one song to the next.

Features and integration: 4 presets, multi-pedal, and DIY MIDI

The core of the Preset Switch is its four-way control allowing access to up to 4 presets with instant switching. The interface is deliberately straightforward: you recall your internal presets without needing to add a power supply or reconfigure your audio chain. The switch simply connects to the EXP input of your Meris pedal via a TRS cable (included), which facilitates integration even on an already wired pedalboard.

Using multiple Meris pedals? The Preset Switch can also be integrated into a multi-pedal setup via a Y-cable (not included), handy for centralizing preset calls without multiplying footswitches. Finally, it includes a mini Arduino card socket for DIY musicians wishing to build MIDI projects (Arduino board not included): an interesting gateway to customize an advanced setup without immediately switching to a large control center.

Sound

As a preset controller, the Meris Preset Switch is not intended to "color" your sound: it adds no gain, equalization, or audio conversion. Its contribution lies elsewhere, and it is musical: consistency (your settings are recalled identically) and responsiveness (instant change). In a live context, this translates to cleaner transitions, better-controlled nuances, and preserved playing dynamics, since you don't interrupt your inspiration to adjust parameters mid-song.
