Ottobit X
By Meris
Modular bitcrush/glitch/lo-fi texture engine with built-in preamp, filters, pitch-shifting, VHS-style delay and reverb, and a real-time looper.
About this pedal
Ottobit X expands the Ottobit Jr./Sr. lineage into a full modular degradation and texture engine: bitcrushing, stepped stutter, and advanced sequencing sit alongside glitch modes, filters, a preamp stage, pitch-shifters, and modulation, plus new VHS-style delay and reverb. A real-time vinyl-scratch looper, one-button looper, and variable-speed tape-stop add live-performance tools on top of the core crush/glitch engine.
