Here's what Nobels say about the ODR-1BC:

Over the decades key artists such as Jerry Donahue, Guthrie Trapp, Carl Verheyen, John Shanks, Tim Pierce, Robbie McIntosh, Clem Clempson, Micky Moody and countless other amazing players have made the ODR-1 Natural Overdrive part of their sonic arsenal. While all single coil guitarists as well as most humbucker users and even bassists love the clarity and versatility of the full sound of the ODR-1 some heavy humbucker players asked for the chance to reduce the sub-bass end.

Under the hood

The new ODR-1(bc) now offers a bass-cut switch under the battery cover to preset original ODR-1 sound or to preset slightly reduced sub-bass.

Operation now is possible from 9V – 18V DC for more headroom, if you want it. The pointers on the knobs now are GitD Glow-in-the-Dark.
The ODR-1 has proved to be a favourite with pros, especially session players, as it works so effectively with guitars’ volume controls for on-the-fly tonal changes in songs. The pedal’s wide range is controlled by a SPECTRUM control tone pot. Turning the knob clockwise increases the bass and treble at the same time. Midrange stays untouched in either direction to offer transparency with a pinch of warmth.

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 pedals use soft or hard clipping to add breakup, harmonic density and sustain while usually retaining more pick response than heavier distortion. A low-gain circuit can act as an always-on preamp or push an amplifier; a higher-gain design may supply its own compressed voice. Gain, tone, bass, presence, output and clipping options decide how the pedal stacks with other drives. The same pedal can sound open into a clean valve amp and congested into a saturated preamp, so judge it at the level and with the speakers it will actually meet.

Bass

Designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression or drive.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.
