This thing looks nuts. Bit crushing, filters, sequencer...

Ottobit Jr from Meris

I really really liked the 8-bit sounds they got out of that on bass. As long as it doesn't lose low end it could be really really cool to get... one day. Unfortunately, finding a good reverb is next on my pedal list.

I've heard tons of good things about it, but unfortunately I can't justify spending over $200 on a pedal quite yet. :/ Right now I'm looking at the Holy Grail Nano, Skysurfer Reverb (once it's actually available in the US), Hall of Fame, and Digitech Polara.
According to Nick posting on Reddit, it look like they are shooting for $300 for the Ottobit Jr. Not bad considering everything it can do.
Hooley Dooley that is a cool pedal. Also must add I am loving Juan's Gibson fretless (grabber?)
When I got to the part of the video where they are showing how to set up the sequencer I sort of lost interest a bit. Looks like it's a big part of getting great sounds out of the pedal but its interface is not that great.
So, it's here....this is my most complex pedal by far. I'm stoked for more educational material to come out for it. I think with time spent I'm starting to get the hang of it tho...
I received both my Mercury7 and Ottobit Jr. the other day. The Ottobit is far more confusing to use than the Mercury7. Though they are both pretty complex. I think it's my lack of understanding for sequencers though.
So far both are amazing. I saw someone complain about the lack of blend on the Ottobit, but I haven't noticed any low end loss. Plus it's a bitcrusher, so...you know.
There's a super useful thread on the gear page about the pedals too if anyone needs info quicker than the manuals come in.

I'm very close to ordering one ... still fighting the impulse, I really shouldn't. Which, knowing myself, I probably will anyway. I'm weak.
