Overview - Source Audio Mercury Flanger User Manual

The Mercury is housed in a durable, lightweight aluminum housing, packing rack mount power and
flexibility into a compact, easy-to-use stompbox.
The USB and Neuro ports transform the Mercury from a simple flanger pedal into a powerful multi-
effects unit. Using the free Neuro App (iOS / Android) or USB editor software (Mac / Windows), a
wide range of additional control parameters and effect types (chorus, phaser, resonator) are
accessible. When used together with the Neuro Hub, the Mercury is fully MIDI-controllable and 128
multi-pedal presets, or "scenes," can be saved for instant recall on the stage or in the studio. The
Mercury can also connect directly to a passive expression pedal or the Hot Hand for expressive
control of any parameter.
The Quick Start guide will help you with the basics. For more in-depth information about the Mercury
Flanger, move on to the following sections, starting with Connections.

Overview

Diverse Flanger Sounds – Choose from traditional flanger tones such as Classic, Thru-Zero, and
Shadow, or delve deeper into unique sounds cooked up in the Source Audio lab.
Flexible Stereo Routing – The Mercury is equally at home in a mono rig or a stereo rig. A variety of
routing modes such as True Stereo, Mono, Mono-to-Stereo, Sum-to-Mono and External Loop allow
the Mercury to harness the true power of stereo signal chains.
Compact Design – The durable, anodized aluminum housing has a slim profile, a small footprint, and
sturdy hardware that will withstand the rigors of the road.

Universal Bypass – True bypass or buffered bypass? The choice is yours. The Mercury features
high-quality signal relays for true bypass and transparent buffers for analog bypass.
Preset Saving – Save your favorite sound by pressing and holding the footswitch. No need to
remember knob positions in the middle of a show.
Neuro Technology – The Neuro App opens up new possibilities for the Mercury, including completely
new effect types, additional control parameters, and access to the Neuro Community, including free
presets from artists and other users. The Neuro Hub can store up to 128 presets for the Mercury,
easily recalled with a MIDI controller. You can also download any effects for the Gemini Chorus or
Lunar Phaser and use them on the Mercury Flanger.
Deep Control Set – Beyond the four knobs on the face of the Mercury are many additional
parameters. The Neuro App and USB Editor provide access to the inner workings of the flanger effect
for advanced users who want to create a unique signature sound.
Parametric EQ and Low Cut – A 4-band parametric EQ is included in the Mercury, allowing for fine
tonal control, and a low cut filter tightens up the low end.
