Presenting the Meris Ottobit Jr Lo-Fi Filter Pedal inspired by the sounds of vintage gaming consoles
The tones of the Ottobit come from when Chips ruled the scene, let your Arcade Dreams be Reborn! Did we stutter? Yes we did. An era when silicon defined sonics that were burned in our memory for years… Ottobit Jr. brings those sounds directly to your pedalboard.
"I asked Angelo to design a filter to tame the harsher bitcrush settings. Damn that filter sounds good… like an analog synth. There were an infinite amount of cool sounds we were getting, so that’s what drove the decision to add MIDI and presets under the hood." --TERRY BURTON, ENGINEER/FOUNDER
To call it a bitcrusher would be an insult. The triggered stutter and pitch/filter/crush sequencers take you to side scrolling, coin collecting maze worlds. Add in a resonant low pass that competes with the best analog synths and grandpa SID would be proud.
