For over 30 years, the Nobels ODR-1 overdrive pedal has become a renowned classic and has developed cult-like status among guitarists worldwide. Seen as an indispensable staple in many professional setups, the pedal has become an industry standard that is widely imitated, but seldom surpassed.

The new Nobels ODR-mini 2 is the next stage in the evolution of the legendary ODR-1’s little brother, the ODR-mini. Due to popular demand, this diminutive powerhouse now features a very useful bass cut feature as an external control. Added to this, the upgraded full metal housing, along with the integrated Mounty-P Mounting Plates, completes the worthwhile upgrades for this compact dynamo.

Key Features

  • Natural Analog Mini Overdrive Effects Pedal
  • New Variable Bass Cut knob – helps to tame and adjust the low end
  • Spectrum Tone control – double filter tone control that simultaneously cuts/boosts bass and treble frequencies, with centre indent
  • New upgraded metal enclosure
  • True Bypass
  • Glow in the Dark pointer knobs
  • Includes 4x integrated Mounty-P Mounting Plates
  • Powered by a regular 9-18 V DC PSU (not supplied – requires centre – 2.1 mm, ~12 mA current draw)

For extended ease of use, the internal Bass Cut feature originally included in the ODR-1BC is now available as an external variable control right on the face of the pedal. This allows for complete optimisation of the pedal’s bass response on the fly, at the simple turn of a knob. The flexibility of this new additional control compliments Nobels’ unique and renowned SPECTRUM tone control, which alters the proportion of both the low-mid and high frequencies simultaneously. At midday, the frequencies remain almost untouched. However, moving from the minimum to maximum positions will deliver variations in frequency response that are suitable for a wealth of musical tastes and styles.

With its newly designed and upgraded full metal enclosure, the ODR-mini2 is capable of operating at either standard 9V or 18V for increased dynamic headroom. Along with all other Nobels pedals, the ODR-mini2 now also features 4 integrated Mounty-P Mounting Plates for safe and secure attachment to pedalboards.

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.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
