Meris Ottobit X Modular Degradation & '80s Texture Engine

'80s Dream Reborn: The Ultimate Lo-Fi & Glitch Multi-Effect

The Meris Ottobit X takes the vintage gaming-inspired sounds of the original Ottobit and transforms them into a massive modular degradation engine. Designed for guitarists, synth players, and producers, this pedal merges advanced bitcrushing with sprawling '80s nostalgia. Whether you want rhythmic arcade stutters, sweeping VHS-style delays, or real-time vinyl scratching, the Ottobit X delivers unprecedented lo-fi textures in a premium, full-stereo format.

Deep Modular Control

Navigate your sound design easily using the award-winning color LCD interface (borrowed from the flagship LVX and MercuryX). With an advanced ARM processor and 32-bit floating-point DSP, the Ottobit X allows you to route its 16-step sequencer to pitch, filter, or sample rate, letting you build complex, evolving chiptune sequences and rhythmic textures on the fly.

Key Features:

• Advanced Degradation: Variable sample rate and bitcrushing with volume scaling and dry blend.
• 6 Glitch & Stutter Modes: Includes Grain Freeze, Tape Stop (with variable speed), and the real-time "Wikki Wikki" vinyl scratch looper.
• VHS Ambience: Dual 2500ms VHS Delay and a unique VHS Reverb, both with play-speed manipulation for warped, degraded trails.
• Extensive Pitch & Filter Options: 5 pitch modes (including Poly Chroma and Lo-Fi) and 3 filter types (Ladder, State Variable, Otto Tron).
• Pro-Audio Integration: Switchable headroom for instrument or line/synth levels, true stereo I/O, full MIDI implementation (DIN and USB-C), and 99 preset locations.

Hand-built in California, the Ottobit X isn't just a bitcrusher—it's a complete ecosystem for lo-fi sound design, vintage tape modulation, and rhythmic glitch processing.
