"Arcade Tones" à la Meris: The DNA of the Ottobit Jr.
The Ottobit Jr. was designed as a bridge between the aesthetics of lo-fi consoles and samplers and the demands of a premium studio pedal. The idea is not just to "degrade": Meris adds a low-pass filter inspired by vintage synths to shape the high end, make the crush more musical, and achieve expressive sweeps, like an electronic machine. Within the Meris lineup, the Ottobit Jr. stands out as the quintessential "glitch/retro-futuristic" creative tool, with an architecture designed for live use (Tap, presets, MIDI) without sacrificing the immediate fun of the knobs.
Who Is the Ottobit Jr. For and Which Styles Does It Excel In?
If you're looking for a guitar effects pedal that breaks out of the usual "drive/modulation" framework, the Ottobit Jr. is an idea accelerator. It appeals to guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists who want playable digital textures : indie, alternative rock, prog, modern metal, electro, hip-hop, ambient, sound design... In the studio, it becomes a color box to texture a take, create a glitch fill, or give a "vintage video game" character to a track. Live, the stereo, Tap Tempo, and sequences allow building transitions, drops, and instant variations, even on a compact pedalboard.

Excellent pedal that I can't put the maximum score on for several reasons. I received a first pedal with a knob that did not work. This is where my 3-week ordeal began, punctuated by the deafening silences of the deplorable Woodbrass after-sales service.
Then, ease of use... It requires a little time to be mastered, and the manual, although very pretty (like all the packaging), is still quite terse. Quality/price ratio, again, I find it a bit expensive.
Now that all that's been said... It is a fairly unique pedal and very very successful. I don't use it on anything and everything (I produce house music) and the result is there, whether you're looking for a subtle effect or in your face.
The sequencer is a real factory by chance. What I was looking for at the beginning was a stereo filter, which is quite rare in this format. This one is fantastic. But I also happen to love bitcrushers. Again... Unbelievable.Automatically translated

Questions frequently asked
Can the Ottobit Jr. be used with a bass or a synthesizer?
Thanks to the switchable input/output level, this pedal accepts instrument and line/synth levels. The maximum input level reaches +9 dBu in instrument mode and +12.5 dBu in line/synth mode.
What bit and sample rate reduction does this pedal offer?
The resolution reduction ranges from 1 to 24 bits, while the sample rate covers a range from 48 Hz to 48 kHz. The low-pass filter allows control over the high frequencies generated by decimation.
How do the stutter and sequencer work?
The Tap Tempo syncs the stutter and sequencer. Holding the ALT button provides access to edit the 6 steps via the potentiometers. The Sequencer Play Mode and Sequencer Multiply controls set the rhythmic behavior of the pattern.
Is the connectivity compatible with a stereo pedalboard?
The 6.35 mm TRS input accepts a mono or stereo signal, and the two 6.35 mm L/R outputs allow for stereo operation.
Meris Ottobit Jr.: how many presets and what MIDI compatibility?
Up to 16 internal presets can be recalled via MIDI. The multifunction expression jack also accepts an external selector providing direct access to the first 4 presets.
