Meris Ottobit - 500 Series Bit Crusher and Ring Modulator  From Meris

Meris is an exciting new 500-series manufacturer that's bringing a lot of previous DSP experience with them. From the minds that brought you Strymon pedals and Line 6 pedal and amp modeling, Meris is bringing a dramatically different type of product to the familiar world of 500 series. Their reverb (Mercury7) and bit crusher (Ottobit) are tailor-made for engineers and musicians looking for professional-grade tools to create brand new sounds for the studio. The Mercury7 in particular is a reverb really meant for tweaking. It's not a "set and forget," preset-based box, but one that you won't take your hands off once you start twisting knobs. Even the 440 preamp comes with a dramatically different approach. It's not only a fast, forward, and great-sounding mic preamp, but a gateway between the world of pro audio and the world of guitar pedals. It's got an instrument level insert available to you on the front panel, and there is no end to the experimentation that will follow! The Meris design team includes Terry Burton, who previously founded Strymon, Angelo Mazzocco, Line6’s top choice DSP Engineer to the stars (Van Halen, the Edge, Dweezil Zappa, etc.), and Creative Director Jinna Kim, hailing from L.A.’s leading design studios, and who previously created the brand identity for Strymon.
