Nobels ODR-1 30th Anniversary Overdrive | Limited Gold Sparkle Edition Natural Overdrive
5000 Worldwide - Based On Holy Grail Of Original ODR-1 - Now w/Bass Cut Dial For More Control
It really is no surprise that this gorgeous sounding analogue natural overdrive has been so successful over the last 3 decades. It simply sounds fantastic! This special limited 30th Anniversary edition strives to recreate the holy grail circuitry of the original ODR-1 with an upgraded bass cut dial, 5000 pieces worldwide, and a flashy Golden Sparkle finish.
Over the past 3 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.
To celebrate these 30 year, Nobels have released this glamorous Gold Sparkle pedal - limited to 5000 pieces worldwide. But a new face lift isn't the only change they've made.
Whilst the ODR-1(BC) offers a bass-cut switch under the easily accessible battery cover to switch between the original ODR-1 sound or slightly reduced sub-bass, the ODR-1 30th Anniversary gives extra control for players by adding swapping the switch for a dial so they can fine tune to any situation. It also comes with the same upgraded features of glow-in-the-dark dial markers and 9v-18v power for more headroom if desired.
These added features haven't altered the fundamental tone and vibe of the original, but have increased the versatility of the pedal massively for modern rigs. The other controls (Drive, Spectrum and Level) remain, controlling the amount of gain, tonal characteristics and output of the pedal respectively. In any case, expect the same overdrive voice as the original ODR-1 - a tone that is open in comparison to the nasal trend for overdrives on the market when the pedal debuted.
The ODR-1 has proved to be a favourite with pros, especially session players, as it works so effectively with guitar 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.
