Ottobit Jr.
A Maniacal Little Machine, inspired by vintage gaming consoles.
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.
"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.

I’ve been dreaming of designing the perfect Stutter effect for a long time. I gave the Ottobit Jr. the ability to detect your pick attack and align that with the current tempo to always keep its Stutter effect musical.
RICKY TINEZ "Man, it's so inspiring. This thing comes up with the wildest sounds. A million song ideas. I don't think I've ever had this much fun."

Reviews
The bitcrusher to end all bitcrushers.
…These are capable of rendering subtle “warming,” unsubtle distortion, robotic ring modulation, low-bit video game glitchiness, and way more. A Filter control is supremely musical (very Moog-like) and can mediate a lot of the wispier bit-crushing artifacts.
Any semblance of ‘guitariness’ is blasted into hyperspace.
You can choose just how lo-fi and grainy the sound gets, from more or less pristine at one extreme to utterly crushed at the other. Combine this with the sweepable low-pass filter – especially if there’s an expression pedal handy – and you’ve got some cracking old-school synth sounds available here.
