Pedals And Effects: World Premier of the Ottobit Jr. by Meris

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!

Knobs don't, it's a trap!

[@IanBussAudio]

OMG

[@Jasonweckard]

I hope Juan and Nick start a music project one day, it would be very interesting.

[@ideitbawx]

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

[@conky7819]

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.

[@MerisUs]

Conky - Appreciate your comment. Thanks.

[@sammadden5540]

I really like the way the demos are woven into the talk about the pedal now, hope it stays like that throughout the year.

[@mrmatthew2443]

So precious at the end when nick amsays ., I got this Pac-Man sound and Juan says. Cami hear it.... then.... nicks got his hat pulled over his face and Juan is twisting knobs..!!! Epic

[@ivanliptak19]

you guys did a great service to that pretty little box. cant wait to get my hands on one.

[@robertsimpson5801]

The guy on the left looks he is living the Life Aquatic. I dig it.

[@ELtaco37]

Editing on point today, keep it up

[@RezaMatix]

1. I want to come and hang out and check out all the pedals. 2. this might...might be the best youtube channel of all time. 3. Carry on.

[@ryank.creates9677]

Beautiful. Being only the 7th person to know about it and a big fan of bits, I want it on my board.

[@waltersmetak]

Excellent demo, very thorough and comprehensive - brilliant effect - already on order from Meris.

[@manawarrior2010]

Nick is such a power lad

[@TheKyojin]

오토비트 !!!

[@danthemanwithaplan]

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.

[@Chandler17447]

fun fact juan wore that shirt in his rig rundown

[@ChrisBuonoGuitar]

I was about to whiz this one across the room until I watched this. Thanks for talking me off the ledge, brothas.

[@christianjgodoy]

hey Juan, quick question. what pedal are you using on noctorniquet ? the low dubby sound. I'm a local el sereno bass player. love the videos

[@roccoharris]

this vid is really clear. really helpful. thanks, y'all!! ps... some very nice music gettin' made here in this lil' session, too. bravo!!

[@foodforthegods]

22:26 wait where's Nick HE JUST VANISHED

[@pennywiseRJ]

juan i love your videos and the conversation, but this year try to make a review and after a demo with you playing and demonstrating the settings of pedals with a solid bass line peace!!

[@ansonstiles]

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

[@thecountertyrant9654]

Love you guys ❤️

[@kwaapie]

This pedal is very unique!!!

[@sleepingchildhood5640]

Black dice vibes🤖 we need More videos

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Buying one next week!

[@DevonBlueWhitaker]

When and where can I get this!!!!! I need this asap!!!!!!! Please!!!!!? Please!!!!

[@orcabrain]

Best show on the FUCKIN innet

[@Creed_fan_69]

Juan is that bass a phil kubicki?

[@ernie_purmer]

"I got this pacman sound"

[@Raiders757]

This thing is awesome. I have absolutely no use for it with the style of music I play, but I want one. Maybe I can make myself a personal soundtrack to an old Nintendo game with it.

[@stereobloom3430]

I have too fallen into this trap too haha, I have a few pedals just chillin and I can't bring myself to sell them haha

[@somewhereelse000]

I love these guys! They show me all the pedals I don't need.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

Nice Yamaha bass! Is it the one with med scale?

[@nathanschneider1805]

At 17:52 is that the Ottobit Jr. only?! That sounds raaaaad.

[@conky7819]

Anyone know what model Moog Nick was using at the 12:00 mark? Looks like some weird rehoused Rouge or Prodigy? I'd always assumed Nick would be a Realistic MG-1 kinda guy.

[@FenBerrell]

Juan, what is that white bass you are using?

[@anrque]

Yamaha Motion B bass...

[@anrque]

Wasn't Meris' Terry Burton the founder of Strymon?

[@Hatren_Music]

yuuup

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Mike Tylka The dude knows how to make pedals.

[@alanredversangel]

Would love to hear this sequencing a straight up original note>octave up sound like an old Sid Chip voice.

[@Scooby743]

Need a Pedal with the RM features of the 500 Series...PLEASE ;)

[@powerinformation]

man awesome fretless ripper(?) Juan

[@CALL1STER]

Does anyone know if/when these will be available to the public? I emailed Meris but they haven't responded yet.

[@SoundnetworkCoUk0]

Hi Cal, should be early spring.

[@MerisUs]

Hi Cal! Sorry we missed your email. Just sent you a reply.

DIGGIN THE PACMAN SOUND NICK!!!!!

[@StupidEarthlings]

I love this pedal.. here's a balloon each.. 🎈🎈

[@Czyszy]

Wait. If it's an US designed pedal, why's there Hangul on the front plate?

[@MerisUs]

Hello from Meris. "Otto" means "8" in Italian = "8bit". Angelo is Italian American and Jinna is Korean American. We embrace our diversity.

[@Ercmcgr]

Pretty sure Juan referenced Glassjaw during the world "premiere premiere" part

[@Disharmonikash]

mind blowing pedal. and this is only a Jr. version. what the feck will a Sr. do??

[@pandanurse]

I would assume the same thing for the most part. The sr was just a rack version.

I wonder what this would sound like being ran through the arpanoid :o

[@samuelpinkerton5307]

awesome video pedal pimps

[@PilferMusic]

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.

[@jacopodemergazzi4928]

At 12.20 it sounds like ' One of these days' by Pink Floyd

You spend hours of research and hundreds of dollars to get that essential guitar tone out of the right guitar and amplifier...perhaps the best cables....the sweet strings...and then you buy this and that all goes out the window.
