Yay, thanks !

Damn it. I was hoping for some presets at least.

Glad there's a manual now though.

Hi jwar!
Happy to add to the manual as time goes by if you need more info.
Are there any specific presets in either the sounds samples or the video demo we made that you especially want explicit knob settings for?

Also, you mention "at least"; beyond presets is there anything else you need more detail on? We tried to cover every aspect of the pedal, but I don't want to leave anybody hanging.

No worries! It's not like it's anything important like an honest income, mutually respectful relationships, having enough digits and appendages to play guitar or, at the very least, scratch one's testicles or even when, just when dammit, is Game of Thrones going to finally air a new episode. It's only fucking music, which happens to be my standard response to the ever present, though thankfully rarer as I age, Music Nazi.

But I can understand why someone might find them boring. I like their official records just fine but the stuff I really like are the lofi unreleased stuff like the unofficial/unreleased I Saw The Sun compilation that I found somewhere online about a decade ago. For some reason, their sound, to my ears, lends itself well to the 2 or 4 track cassette lofi recording.

In the manual, am I the only one confused by the math? Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding something?

The Stutter control knob sets the stutter length and how many times the stutter repeats. The knob is broken up into
three speed ranges: full speed, double speed, half speed, and each range has 7 different selections. Adding to that, the minimum
position of the stutter knob turns the stutter off and turning the knob to its maximum sets the stutter to random, giving you 23
positions in total. Here they are:

Stutter knob sections:
1. Stutter Off
2. Full Speed, Stutter Once
3. Full
4. Double Speed, Stutter Three Times
5. Double Speed, Stutter Four Times
6. Double Speed, Stutter Six Times
7. Double Speed, Stutter Eight Times
8. Double Speed, Stutter Sixteen Times
9. Half Speed, Stutter Once
10. Half Speed, Stutter Twice
11. Half Speed, Stutter Three Times
12. Half Speed, Stutter Four Times
13. Half Speed, Stutter Six Times
14. Half Speed, Stutter Eight Times
15. Half Speed, Stutter Sixteen Times
16. Random (combination of all of the above, plus the reverse of all the above)

You're missing all the full speed stutter options. There are 7 divisions of each stutter speed plus off and random. That's 23.

Stutter Off
Full speed 1x
Full speed 2x
Full speed 3x
Full speed 4x
Full speed 6x
Full speed 8x
Full speed 16x
Double speed 1x
Double speed 2x
Double speed 3x
Double speed 4x
Double speed 6x
Double speed 8x
Double speed 16x
Half speed 1x
Half speed 2x
Half speed 3x
Half speed 4x
Half speed 6x
Half speed 8x
Half speed 16x
Random stutter

Sorry about that! Our mistake! The full speed sections got cut out. The manual is getting updated right now, and a corrected one will be released soon. Thanks for catching that! FretNoMore posted the correct list.

Updated Ottobit Jr. manual is up, and the Mercury7 full manual is up on our site now too.

How about just giving us some of your favorite settings? I love all the sounds you've made in demos or others so it's hard to pin one down you know?

Also, I don't see the Merc7 manual. I mainly needed the Ottobit Jr though, so I just wanted to let you know.

Let's get to the heart of the matter; is this Ryan Gosling's verb of choice?

I hope so. I mean, I have his poster on the wall near my rig for wanking purposes.

Jwar knows what's up.
His boner.
For Gosling.

Slowdive tried to gangfuck Ryan Gosling once.

Slowdive slowdied. True story.
