Guitars Go In. Glitchy Sonic Mayhem Comes Out.
Gleefully glitchy, the Meris Ottobit Jr. bitcrusher takes the sound of vintage gaming consoles and expands it into a multifaceted stompbox for advanced sonic manipulation. The core of the Ottobit Jr. is its variable sample rate and bitcrushing controls, which allow you to add a dose of down-sampled grit or devolve a signal into sputtering, mangled nonsense. But, Meris pushes the boundaries of typical bitcrushers with triggered stutter effects and a sequencer module, which can drive pitch, filter, or decimation patterns. Equipped with straightforward controls, Ottobit Jr. is easy to use out of the box, yet it invites deep exploration and serves up a slew of effects, including rhythmic tremolo, wild filter modulations, and more. Artists and producers at Sweetwater have found myriad ways to employ the Ottobit Jr., both live and in the studio. Guitars, synth, bass, drums — crush them all with the Meris Ottobit Jr.
