Never change, ILF.

I'm switching presets with a DMC3XL and its cool but it seems like the Ottobit doesn't load a preset just because the DMC3 is on that preset. I have to activate the preset with the DMC3 and that means holding the switch and waiting a second. Kinda kills the dynamics of playing a bit. Is anyone using MIDI and getting better results?

I know two test subjects doesn't make for a conclusive experiment, but perhaps that is just the nature of bitcrushers?

I do have my own little things where I'm like ugh wish this was a little different. But design is always about compromises, and for an initial foray into pedals, at a $300 price point, in this tight little package, I think Meris got so much right.
My main wish is that they had borrowed the idea of little preset button/placement from the Nemesis. I would rather have paid a little more for a device with some preset ability built in, without have to take up extra board space for a switch or Faves or Disaster Area box. Presets seem so essential for something this complex.
Haven't much been using the bit knob, but yeah I guess that because I wasn't getting much range of effect out of it. I do think bit crushing has an inherently steep curve. Sample rate gets me where i want to go anyway.
Haven't noticed volume issues but I'm running it on an aux off a mixer so its irrelevant. The thing that drives me a little bonkers is the dry kill. "With DRY MUTED, the pedal delivers wet only in active mode; in bypass, the entire pedal is muted". Like whyyyyyy would you mute everything in bypass? I get that there are cases where someone might want that, but that seems like a 2% use case. 98% of the time you still want the pedal to pass the dry signal through when its bypassed. What it means for me in practice is that I can't have any other pedals in a chain on this aux channel. I have to devote one to the Ottobit alone, which it's good enough that I'm doing but it's still regrettable. This just seems like a design flaw to me, especially when it would have been possible to have a third configuration in the setup menu. Can has update plz?
Speaking of which, is the firmware update-able on this ? No USB port.

Good feedback. That means you are living mostly in 16-bit land. SEGA-A-A-A-A-A-A

Not sure what is going on with your DMC3. The Ottobit will load a preset when you send it a program change message. Maybe there is a setting inside the DMC3 that holds off on sending the program change? I use my Ottobit Jr. with a DMC4 gen3 and it works great, and the patch switching is immediate.

DMC3 does have two different modes to switch presets. Sounds like your using the one meant for jumping to a specific preset without having to activate a bunch in between.

jwar wrote:I find the opposite on the Ottobit Jr. It can be too loud with my setup and the Merc7 too quiet. Odd. LOL
OH! There's also a dead spot in the sweep for the Merc7 with the blend. It cuts the signal completely when sweeping to the full toe down position. It's where I'm almost all the way toe down. Now I'm using a EV5, which is a 10K pot and I haven't checked if it requires something else. So take that with a grain of salt.
macsearcher wrote:Yes, SEGA land is the sweet spot for sure but I believe that the poster is saying that all of the sweet spots are within a very small knob turn. It would be really great if they were spread out over the entire sweep.
Several users have asked if any of these issues can be solved via Firmware updates or if the pedal is firmware updatable. Can you comment on that?
These are not criticisms, merely feedback from users and a lot of people seem to be seeing similar issues.
