4ms MESA Reverb Module For Eurorack Systems

Ahead of Superbooth 2026, 4ms has introduced MESA, high-fidelity reverb module, created in collaboration with Valley Audio.

Running at 96 kHz with 64-bit double-precision processing, Mesa is “among the finest-sounding reverbs available at any price point”, according to 4ms.

The four modulation LFOs, pre-delay buffer, dual filters, and vast reverb network open the door to subtle chorusing, plucked strings, pitched echoes, swirling textures, and deep ventures into “genuinely alien sonic territory”.

Features:

  • Stereo Inputs and Outputs
  • Freeze: holds the reverberations forever. Button can be set to momentary or toggle/latch
  • Clear: clears the buffer, canceling all existing reverb and letting new echoes build up. Useful for gated reverbs or purging chaos
  • Size: Sets the overall delay time and apparent size of the reverb. Ranges from very short to extremely long.
  • Tuned Size button: Shortens the delay times and tunes the all-pass filters to an exponential response so that the reverb can be played with 1V/oct sources
  • Diffusion: Controls how diffused and smeared the reverb is. No diffusion results in audible echoes like in a delay effect
  • Diffuse Input: Engages the input diffusion stage that pre-diffuses and smears the signal before reverberation. Bypassing the stage sharpens the input signal.
  • Decay: Sets the speed at which the signal decays over time. The maximum setting results in a long reverb that evolves over time into a very slowly dying cloud of sound.
  • Pre-Delay: Determines the delay for when the original signal is fed into the reverberator. Ranges from 0 to 500ms.
  • Input Filter: Filters the incoming signal from low-pass to flat to high-pass
  • Reverb Filter: Filters the reverberations from low-pass to flat to high-pass
  • Dry/Wet: Control the mix of the original and reverberant signals. Reverb clipping light flashes when clipping at this stage.
  • Input Level: Boost/cut the input from -? to +3 dB. Input clipping light flashes red when clipping at this stage.
  • Mod Depth: Amount of modulation to apply to the left and right delay sections via the four modulation LFOs
  • Mod Rate: Speed of the modulation. Each of the four LFO’s speed is offset from the others
  • Mod Shape: Shape of the modulation LFOs. From rising sawtooth, to triangle, to falling ramp.

Pricing & Availability:

The 4ms MESA module is priced at $399 USD, with availability to be announced.

One thought on “4ms MESA Reverb Module For Eurorack Systems

  1. It looks very promissing, but – judging by specs read here – the only thing that makes me want Swells more, is its double filter that can cut both – high and low end.
