Two stereo tracks, 30 sec each, 24‑bit/48kHz. Modes: DUB (live control) and GEN (three LFOs drift loop start). Features: recording states Overdub/Insert/Copy Record, probability‑based reverse and inter‑track ducking, morphing filter (LPF→BPF→HPF), LFO modulation of loop points.
Controls: Buffer/Sample Start, Sample End, Tone, Split, Blend, Mode, Sample select (One/Two), Capture/Clear. LEDs: White empty, Red recording, Yellow recorded (DUB), Blue recorded (GEN). Footswitch: single click record on/off; triple click erase track; hold 2s clear both.
As of 2026-07-13, the price was £290 (Puremagnetik Webstore). For electrical repairs or opening the unit consult a qualified tech.
This is my first exposure to Puremagnetik - where this is actually their second pedal, preceded by the LAPS Multitrack Collage Machine.
Puremagnetik seemingly mines sort of similar territory to Chase Bliss, Discomfort Designs and Kinotone - creating micro-looper style manipulators and multi-track layering and effects shaping.
The JOTS consists of 2 x 30 second Samples / Buffers / Tracks which you manipulate in various ways. There are 2 x toggle-switches, one sets which Track you are shaping - One or Two. And you then have 2 Playback Modes - DUB which allows you to effect your sample with live movements / knob adjustments. The GEN mode consists of 3 independent LFO’s which each drift your sample start point.
I believe this is a classic sort of micro-looper / sampler / over-sampler - where you can manipulate and combine 2 Sample Tracks in various ways. Adjusting the start and end points for instance, direction and ducking.
Controls : Buffer / Sample Start, Sample End, Tone, < Reverse | Hide (ducking) >, Split (crossfade), Blend, Mode : DUB (Live Movement of Sample) / GEN (3 x LFO Sample Drift), Samples / Buffers : One / Two, Capture / Clear Footswitch.
LED Status
- White : Track is empty
- Red : Recording in progress
- Yellow : Track has a recoding (DUB Mode)
- Blue : Track has a recording (GEN Mode)
Footswitch Actions
- Single Click - Toggle Recording On/Off
- Triple Click - Erase the current track
- Hold 2 Seconds - Clear both tracks and reset JOTS to default state
The Pricing of the JOTS is $290 - available from the Puremagnetik Webstore, where the features are a little more streamlined than you get on the other brands I mentioned at the start. And therefore a shorter learning curve hopefully!
I’ve yet to decide the priority on this one, but it certainly has a distinct appeal for me. I could see myself deploying this on my board. It’s a full stereo effect - so that I can be very flexible where I place it on the board.
I typically go through a process to figure out how and where I would deploy a specific pedal. On occasion I can’t see any obvious way forward, a certain pedal might just not suit my preferences and sensibilities and I then move onto other priorities.
While I really quite like this one - so its a definite maybe for me.
I feel I get the gist of this one really well. It’s relatively straightforward to understand.
There are further nuances to this device - which you read up on courtesy of the JOTS manual.
