WHEN CHIPS RULED THE SCENE
Arcade Dreams Reborn
Did I stutter? Yes I did. An era when silicon defined sonics that were burned in our memory for years... Ottobit Jr. brings those sounds directly to your pedalboard.

GREETINGS, PROGRAMS
"You want games? I'll give you games."
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.

TERRY BURTON
ENGINEER/FOUNDER
"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."

Controls - Meris Ottobit Jr.

• Sample Rate
  • Changes the sample rate from 48 Hz to 48 kHz.
  • Alt Function: Step 1 First step of the sequencer
• Filter
  • Changes the cutoff frequency of custom filter.
  • Alt Function: Step 2 Second step of the sequencer
• Bits
  • Changes the bit depth from 1 bit to 24 bits.
  • Alt Function: Step 3 Third step of the sequencer
• Stutter
  • Changes the play speed and length of the stutter.
  • Alt Function: Step 4 Fourth step of the sequencer
• Sequencer Play Mode
  • Sets Sequencer to Play Once, Play Twice, Play 4 Times, Play 8 Times, or Play Continuously.
  • Alt Function: Step 5 Fifth step of the sequencer
• Sequencer Multiply
  • Sets the sequencer speed as a multiple of the tap tempo.
  • Alt Function: Step 6 Sixth step of the sequencer
• Tap Tempo
  • Sets the speed and the timing of the Sequencer and the Stutter. Hold to freeze the Stutter Buffer.
• Tap LED / Alt Function Switch
  • Blinks at tap tempo rate. Alt Functions are only accessible when ALT (HOLD) switch is held.
• Bypass
  • Processes signal when LED is ON, passes dry signal entirely in analog (buffered or relay) when OFF.
• Bypass LED / Sequencer Type Switch
  • Switch LED Indicates bypass status. Small LEDs indicate active sequencer type. Both small LEDs OFF indicates sample rate sequencer active.
