Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
When the original circuit was developed in the '80s, there were plenty of overdrives on the market that musicians found too "nasal", but Nobels worked hard to create a pedal with a very "open" sound that worked with you and your amp. The result was the ODR-1, German-made at its best with a combination of resistors and capacitors to give precise filters and a pedal that responds to your dynamics and adds texture to your sound in a very natural and musical way, while retaining the character of your guitar.
In 2020, Nobels chose to improve this circuit to release the ODR-1BC.
Listening to effects pedal users and professional musicians around the world, Nobels added a Bass Cut switch under the battery compartment, to help you reduce bass. In standard mode, you still have the full frequency response of the original, which is perfect for giving more warmth to your single pickups. What's more, the internal power supply circuit accepts 9 to 18 volts for greater dynamics. These new features don't alter the sound, but considerably increase the pedal's versatility for modern setups.
With the Drive setting, saturation can be adjusted for near-clear overdrive. The circuit also interacts well with your guitar's volume control, reducing saturation by lowering the volume. Tone is controlled by the Spectrum control with a central click and fluorescent pointers on knobs that glow in the dark. Push the Spectrum up to increase bass and treble at the same time. The midrange remains intact in any position of this control, ensuring transparency and warmth of sound.
