Nobels CHO-mini Chorus Pedal

Brand

Nobels

Nobels is a respected brand in the guitar pedal market, primarily known for their ODR-1 overdrive pedal, which has become a staple for players seeking a natural, amp-like overdrive sound. The ODR-1 is celebrated for its smooth distortion, making it a popular choice among guitarists in genres such as rock and country. It has gained a loyal following, with endorsements from notable artists like Michael Wagener and Robbie McIntosh, who have praised its tone and versatility.

The ODR-1 is available in various versions, including the ODR-mini and the ODR-S, each designed to offer different tonal possibilities. The ODR-S model is particularly appreciated for its three-band EQ, which provides greater control over the tonal shape compared to the standard model. Nobels’ pedals, including the ODR-1, are often recommended as alternatives to more well-known overdrive pedals like the Tube Screamer, offering a unique character with a focus on warmth and clarity.

Chorus

A chorus pedal thickens and widens your tone by subtly duplicating your signal and shifting it slightly out of tune and time. The result is movement — shimmering cleans, liquid arpeggios, and that unmistakable 80s swirl that makes single notes feel fuller and chords sound expansive. From gentle sparkle to deep, watery modulation, chorus adds dimension without overwhelming your core sound.

Use it to bring life to clean passages, soften driven tones, or create spacious textures that sit beautifully in a band mix. Whether you’re after subtle depth or bold, warbling character, a chorus pedal is a simple way to make your guitar sound bigger, richer, and more immersive.

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.
