Nobels ODR-1BC Overdrive Pedal with Bass Cut

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 single-coil guitarists, humbucker users and even bassists love the clarity and versatility of the ODR1, some heavy humbucker players asked for the chance to reduce the sub-bass end.

The new ODR-1BC now offers a bass-cut switch under the battery cover to preset original ODR-1 sound or to preset slightly reduced sub-bass. Operation is also now possible from 9V – 18V DC for more headroom, if you want it. The pointers on the knobs now are Glow-in-the-Dark.

The Nobels ODR1BC Overdrive Pedal 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.
