Nobels ODR-1 Natural Overdrive

Over the past decades, many internationally renowned musicians have chosen the ODR-1 Natural Overdrive, from Jerry Donahue to Tom Bukovac, Guthrie Trapp, Carl Verheyen, John Shanks, Tim Pierce, Robbie McIntosh, Clem Clempson, Micky Moody, and many others. All single-coil guitarists, most humbucker users, and even bassists love the ODR-1's clear, versatile, and full-bodied sound.

• Analog overdrive pedal
• Bass Cut switch to reduce low frequencies

The ODR-1 BC now features a bass cut switch under the battery cover, allowing you to select the original ODR-1 tone or slightly reduced sub-bass. It can now be powered with DC from 9 V to 18 V for increased dynamic range (if desired). Additionally, the control indicators now glow in the dark (GitD), making it easier to operate.

The ODR-1 has become a favorite among professionals, especially studio and session guitarists, thanks to its high sensitivity to the guitar’s volume control, delivering vibrant tonal variations while playing. The wide-spectrum tone control simultaneously boosts bass and treble when turned clockwise. The mids remain largely unaffected, ensuring a transparent and warm sound in any situation.
