  • Once every few years, a piece of gear will come on the market and set it on fire. Just when we think we've seen everything, a company that is new to the pedal game comes out with a stompbox PACKED with bit crushing, filtering, pitch sequencing, and stuttering capabilities coinciding with a digital brain that makes programming incredibly simple, and components that deliver the optimum fidelity. Ladies and gentlemen, that company is Meris, and this pedal is the OTTOBIT JR!

    Wow ... I love this thing already lol.
    Excellent job on the editing of this video too, great balance between showing what the pedal can do, showing how the dials afftect the sound, and explaining the madness behind this amazing piece of engineering! Probably my favourite Pedals And Effects vid

    Jesus, that's gotta be one of the best, if not THE best, most versatile bit crushers on the market. Also, that Pac Man sound was just dope.

    This is a bit off-topic, but I seriously love the videos you guys make, especially the artist interviews. I'd love to see you guys sit down with Mike Gordon from Phish. Awesome bass player who uses lots of effects heavily. Thanks and keep crankin' them out!

  • @effectsjunkie8530

    Great demo as usual. Ottobit Jr VS Revovler II. Go! You say it's simple but it looks like it can be involved as well.

  • @ansonstiles
    @ansonstiles 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Been intrigued by bit crushers. My Great Divide does some of what I imagine is but crushing, and with the octave. It can get pretty crazy. But I think y'all have sold me (again). It seems like this is a more practical option to getting super down Dirty and dubby with synth sounds on bass than actually buying and learning a key synth

    Needs more expression pedal control; not so much one for all. One way around this is to marry this pedal with a MorningStar MC8 and use the expression pedals on that to send midi cc's to the Ottobit Jr.
