-- This Ottobit Jr by Meris is one of the craziest guitar pedal's i've tried in AWHILE.. I ran samples off the SP-404sx through the pedal to simulate how i'd normal process samples to get texture and a more lo-fi sample sound.

Dude, you need a second video with this. The world has to see you drop a beat on top of this toy.
Pedal creates so many unexpected yet smooth turns
Amazing tutorial and so great to see just how much enjoyment you're having with the pedal.
Top of my list to get and put Cello through it.
Cheers for the inspiration
this is amazing can imagine so many uses for it. Good work on the video too mate, love it.
I love seeing this reviewed from a synth/sequencer point of view since guitar players usually dive into these and have all the fun. The limitation of these boxes for guitar players has always been that the box is on the floor and you can't manipulate anything (because you're out of hands), but setting that thing on a table changes all that!
An awesome demo of an amazing pedal! No question that I need one of these now. Thank you Ricky, your enthusiasm is contagious.
Nice! Once again, your enthusiasm is infectious. Always fun.
Also, I’m reading the same book, ‘Habit’. Great read! Perfect for re-evaluating ones process, especially heading into the new year
I’ve had an Ottobit for 3days now and this is one of the best explorations of what it does. It also makes me want to check out more of what Ricky Tinez does. Thanks
"Sorry I'm smiling."
I know that feel.
why on earth would you apologize for smiling XD
This thing on breaks would sound incredible
I love this video! Made me pull my Ottobit Jr. off the shelf; you reminded me of what a fun little machine it is.
Enrique I met you at Knobcon 2019...hope you're doing well. I just picked up the Ottobit and the biggest surprise to me was how good the filter is on it.
Nice one. It’s the coolest. I’ve had one since they came out and it sits on the cue outs of my Octatrack. It’s never coming off. Dig the videos, keep em coming bro.
Man im actually so happy you got a sponsor. You make some ofthe best youtube videos i know. Now to get myself a sponsorship so i can afford this
One of your best videos so far man, the best video on this pedal for sure, you made me order one 😂
The Ottobit Jr. on the conga sample sounded like instant Los Samplers, which is awesome in my book.
yeah, instant atom tm sound right there
this sounds lovely. could make a really nice ambient set with these 2 together
I just got an Ottobit a few weeks ago.... The coolest stompbox ever. Hands down. \m/
Great video too!!
Just saw your name on the credits on The Rise of Skywalker. I was like wait, my boy Ricky? Lol good job man.
thanks man! was a super fun project :)
Random question: In the credits of the latest Star Wars, there's a cantina-style song credited to a Ricky Tinez? Is that you??!
Yep! Haha good eye Jacob :)
Whoa! I hope there’s a video coming up about that!
Got that Disney cash now!
Link! Link! Plzzz
@@RickyTinez You made a song for Star Wars with JJ Abrams ? That's unreal. I'd love to know more.
Dude you keep costing me money, forced me to add the 1010music blackbox, the Empress Zoia, and now I have to get this too!!! It looks like a fun new addition!
"1010music blackbox, the Empress Zoia," nice:) on my list too!
Good stuff. It's hard to find demos of guitar pedals with drums/synths/samplers/turntables. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Enzo too...
yo ricky, you should def put out an album of weird glitchy ambient tracks like the one at the end of the video. it's beautiful man!
Real nice. This one fell of my radar after starting with the Polymoon. Feels like it would also be right at home in the hands of Flying Lotus or the crew over at the house of Death Grips. Great demo.
That thing is deeper than the Marianas Trench! I got myself a Hedra and had so many of the same reactions. Need all the Meris pedals in my life. Great video! Unapologetically Excited.
Thank you for this. I need an Otto Bit in my life.
Oh snap @BLAKMOTH! Yeah definitely.
This would be super sick for your setup.
No doubt I was watching Ricky’s video imagining the possibilities.
Thank you for diving into the capabilities of this thing using mostly beats (which is what I'll be using this for). Keep on rockin bro❤
Yo! Thank you Joldrath!!
Really beautiful sounds🔥! Great video👍🏻!
Merris makes amazing machines, you can hardly call them pedals. The Ottobit jr is no excuse exception, it sounds amazing.....Thanks Ricky, now I want to get one....
Brilliant video dude. Love Meris.
I sold the majority of my guitar pedals since I never play guitar but still have that Ottobit.
Just got this in the mail and was ready to return it until seeing this video. Thank you.
Yo Ricky,
inspired by this video I also got myself an Ottobit. I love using it to stutter percussion (mostly without a lot of bitcrush), as you did here. (I was a little sad to learn that the pedal switches to mono when the looper os engaged tbh - was hoping to use it as a bus effect on my percussion - but that's another story)
Unfortunately, I haven't figured out the best way to sync it, yet. I tend to use a lot of start & stop in my production workflow, so tap tempo itself doesn't seem like a great option. Ofc the pedal takes midi clock, but that will always "start on the 1". However, the start point of the tap tempo/sync also defines the start and end of the stutter, and there are interesting effects to achieve when not just starting it on the 1. To get around this, I tried using a euclidean sequencer from my modular to sync it, and to define the start point of the stutter, by sending the euclidean triggers into the exp. in of the ottobit, set to tap tempo. Unfortunately, this comes with the pitfall of the (external tap) tempo constantly resetting the looper.
I think there is a better way to achieve this. Maybe you have an idea for a device or solution, that can aid here? Or you already came across something in your explorations of the ottobit? I am also on Live btw and use a hybrid setup, just like you. Would be very happy to hear your thoughts or see a video on it. Cheers!
Ive watched this like 10 times already probs should just get one at this point. Bless up Ricky ✌️
A very unique and killer approach to a pedal review. 🙏👍
This thing is definitely incredible! I wonder why all these companies even bother putting these things in guitar pedal format though. Guitarists don't mess with these things. They're all arguing over who makes the best imitation of a 50 year old overdrive 🤣
whoamanbecool.
Lmao I’m a guitarist and that’s funny
Yo that’s so true 😂😂
I want one just for the stutter, use an expression pedal, and morph between settings while playing an electric drum kit into it so I can do tempo changes on the fly
Real nice!! I would love to hear what this does to vocals
I have the Ottobit and the Polymoon. The Ottobit is awesome on drums.
Thank you Rickie, this is such a cool demo which led me to buy one for myself. It's so intuitive and easy to get to those awesome sounds! However I'm probably returning it and here is why: i'm using a digitakt to sequence a Nord drum 3p in a band and i had the ottobit on the 3p on sometimes subtle or not so subtle settings. Really great sounds. But... i just realised i could get 90% of those sounds and a lot more by sampling the 3p into the digitakt. That even frees up the 3p for more melodic live playing/sequencing. Am i missing something or should i go ahead and return the awesome ottobit and spend the money on more urgently needed gear? Greets from Luxembourg
Question: how do you record and monitor at the same time? Are you using your DAW for this? Im trying to find the most intuitive way to use pedals and stuff to edit tunes with and im having trouble routing everything
This man having the time of his life with some beeps and boops. Sometimes it’s the simple things!
I almost hooked my phone up to the Tr8s. Awesome pedal!
Sick, that's some dope magic! Next video is this with drummachine right?!
Love this pedal, its prolly my favorite meris pedal.
Cool stuff!
My guitar pedal suggestion would be the Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine. It's off the hook on guitar, would love to see what it does with synths.
I have the pyramids by EQD and looooveeeee it
Thanks for reviewing, do you think the pitch shifter - Hedra is useful as well? perhaps another video.
I feel it can achieve what Bastl thyme can do partially ( filter, bit reduction , sequencer , stutter, lfo ) , would be interesting to see you try/review it , and why not compare those two :)
Why everything cost money? This thing looks cool!
In 20 years everything will be given to eachother and we all will strive to have high value and stay getting stoked off eachother
299 a lot of the money
You are living in a fantasy. Exactly why would Méris spend all their time and money to produce a pedal such as this only to simply give it away for free? They are producing value.. yet you think it should be free? That would mean it has no value. Wake up. That is a typical utopian fantasy that will never ever ever come to fruition.
Mike M simply because he demos gear on his channel and you watch
@@IgnisCygnus147 lol you must be young
Would I be able to use this as a distortion like effect running after my Digitech Talker?
Sounds like that pedal is made for you. Can't imagine anyone else utilize this strangest thing in such a good way. You are truly a sound wizard and alchemist. So how do one make gold? Ricky: "Oh yea I'll show you".
I've been running my pedalboard in the fx loop of my mixer with my SP, endless sounds haha!
Might have to pick up an ottobit after this jeeeeeeeessusss
I have this pedal and absolutely love it! Do you have any idea how to make a jack-midi cable for that? any scheme for connections?
The sequencer part of this video sounds like a track by Oval.
I was thinking the same!!!!
You literally have a video on all the stuff I google. Thank you.
Yo, you posting the results from the tail end of the video anywhere? I would love to listen to that over and over and over again.
Definitely want this.... I have synths and Yea, I can always buy another one, but I’d rather spice up the ones I have. And I just love distortion, bitcrushers and all that. I’m a sucker for stutter effects. Thanks for another great video✌🏼🤘🏼💪🏼
That audible sponsor segway was about as smooth as this little pedal. Well done!
Very nice review with some amazing sounds. But I must add that this pedal really didn't hit the mark with while using guitar (got it on its release, but have rarely used it since). Hearing your demo, I guess this could really fit into my Euro rig or, better, with the DFAM. Really inspiring demo!
I had one of these briefly last year, sold it. Never tried running some vocals through it, some guitar. Nope. But, never ran rhythmic stuff through it like in this video and always felt like I should have explored that. Just found one at a too-good-to-pass-up price, gonna give it another shot. I've got a WMD Geiger Counter pro as well, basically the Meris is the Jeckyll and the Geiger is the Hyde of bitcrushing.
This thing is something else cool stuff Ricky
Nice job Ricky 👌
This reminds me of the kaossillator pro, which i would love to see in a side by side review with devices like this.
Sounds amazing!
I have the Oto Biscuit but now I want this too!
i love your hat man !
Would love to see this compared to / hear your opinion on octatrack's lofi fx. The ottobit stutter thing is way cool, but you could def get similar results from the octa's trigs and param locks. This pedal is pretty sweet though, cheers!
How is the Octatrack's realtime control? Most lo-fi effects I've played with in the past have very noticeable stepping as you sweep either bitrate or sample rate. This is smooth.
Oh man why did I watch this video! Thought I had zero need for a bitcrusher pedal, but this looks so much fun. Might still get an Octatrack instead though!
This loop at 7:35 man ! I couldn't stop smiling. Will probably get this ottobit jr to connect with my korg electribe sx :)
sinsinladef 420 hey man I rock an electribe sampler with the ottobit jr and love it
That combo sounds juicy
Tim Gleason it’s a good time 🕺🏽
MUST get the midi cable for it. The stutter just becomes so much better
This was really nice to just listen to.
Hey, is this a piece of gear you used on Breadkrumz? The rhythms in the glitches remind me J05?
Wow, the spacy-ness around 5:00
Love your vids man
Couldn’t sample it cuz you were taking over it haha ya gotta give us a clean loop haha
Dope this video has me bout to cop the Ottobit jr
The SRR and BRR sound a bit metallic for my liking, cool pedal
Just bought The Power of Habit at the airport over Thanksgiving... might need to grab the audiobook as well. Good stuff man! Check out "The War of Art" (not to be confused with "The Art of War") if you haven't already.
This pedal is dope and I can't wait to check it out in person. Although as far as sequencing type pedals go, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Hologram Electronics Dream Sequence. This one seems far more intuitive... One at a time... :P
Dope! Ima check that out for sure thanks for letting me know about it.
Thank you for uploading.
omg this would be the perfect tool for juke/footwork
Maaan sounds dope!
Could You do a quick comparision between this pedal and octatrack's lofi fx?
Meris or Bliss? pick any pedals you think are the best for your setup.
Hi, Ricky. Does your Digitakt send MIDI CC to Meris OTTOBIT jr perfectly?
In my case, DT is set to send CC #14(BYPASS on/off) #16(SAMPLE RATE) #17(FILTER) #18(BITS) #19(STUTTER) toOTTOBIT jr.
For example, when my DT pattern A2 starts (or changed from the other pattern to A2), DT seems to not send MIDI CC immediately (then I just push the MIDI TRIG key, it sends).
But when I start (or changed from the other pattern to) A3 or A5, DT sends MIDI CC immediately.
My DT is upgraded to the 1.20A firmware, and my OTTOBiT jr is newest version.
I don't know if it's a DT's bug or probem, or a OTTOBIT jr's problem.
Do you have any knowledge about this?
Have you tried the Meris LVX? How does it compare to the Ottobit Jr?
Just sold my oto biscuit and god gives me a replacement. Nice
Guitar pedals in the last 5 years or so have become incredible sound design tools. The modular like compact design makes them very flexible.
Take a look at Red panda, the Particle V2 and the Tensor are fantastic.
MY MAN are you in the new star wars film? i was looking at the credits and theres a song credited to ricky tinez, is that you? hahaha
yea thats me! Wild times
@@RickyTinez Glad to hear that, im really happy for you! Hope you tell us what happened! :)
Well I’m sold! Ihope the gold at Meris are checking these comments cuz I’m sure you just sold a bunch more pedals for them!
Also you gotta let us know if you finally put a beat over this!
would've loved to seen how Ottobit sounds with a drum machine like TR8s
Great video mah dude! I’m loving ottobit jr with electribe sampler, but the volume gets out of control if I push the BRR past noon. I noticed you went quite high without a problem. How do you prevent that?
Did u find a solution ??
So crispy 😭😍
Sold on the stutter!
This is like 4 separate pedals in one box. Ppl crying about the price don't realize that. Try building a modular just to do what this thing does. Talk about broke. Really is a clean bitcrusher though. Awesome. Thank you for the demo.
ottobit crusting up that cheese in an all kinds of pleasing ways. real good times!!
makes me think of the t-wrex by alright devices
What's that on the table with the Windjammers character art? Respect if you fuck with that game.
beautiful Kid A / Amnesiac vibes
hahaha!! that's bunches of fun right there!!
that’s such a sick pedal damn. inspired by vintage videogames
Great video!
