Nobels ODR-1X Natural Overdrive Pedal
The new Nobels ODR-1X is the next generation of this now legendary overdrive, heralding a new chapter in the Nobels overdrive legacy. Due to popular demand, a convenient external bass cut pot has been added, as well as the option to change between true bypass or buffered bypass. For hi-gain aficionados, a new switchable hi-gain boost is also now available. This is capable of transforming ODR-1X into a true hard rock monster.
With the ability to control both the gain boost and on/off remotely, along with the unique SPECTRUM tone control, fold-out Mounty-P mounting plates and knobs with fluorescent ‘Glow in the Dark’ pointers, the ODR-1X adds worthwhile flexibility and utility to a time-tested favourite.
Adjustable Bass Cut:
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 optimization 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.
Now under the Hood...
ODR-1X also now features the ability to switch between True Bypass and Buffered Bypass via a mini switch that is located within the top loading battery compartment. True Bypass gives the maximum tonal purity. While players who are using longer cable runs, can switch to Buffered Bypass mode to preserve high frequencies. No matter what Bypass mode you choose, you also have the functionality of being able to switch the pedal on and off and control the new Gain Boost feature remotely via the pedal’s TRS connection.
Release the Monster!
The gain boost switch....This switch turns the ODR-1 X into a real monster that needs to be tamed. It is suitable for powerful hard rock sounds or gives a solo the right assertiveness. This function can also be operated remotely.
You can also control everything remotely from the other side of the stage:
The ON/OFF functions and also the gain boost can be controlled remotely. If you connect a button with a mono cable, you switch the gain boost function. With a stereo cable and two buttons, the “tip” switches the gain boost function, while the “ring” switches the on/off function. Ideal for integrating the pedal into a rack system or a more complex pedalboard.
More Headroom - 9V~18V:
The pedal can be operated with up to 18V DC voltage. Different operating voltages have the consequence of influencing the dynamic behavior. At low voltages, an overdrive goes into saturation earlier, while at high operating voltages the signal remains more transparent.
Security-System - Integrated Mounty-P‘s:
If you play live and are serious about your setup, then screw your effects down with Nobel‘s Mounty-Ps. Velcro straps are great when you‘re playing at home or constantly moving your stuff back and forth, but they‘re a pain when gigging and constantly transporting. The Mounty-Ps cost is cleverly designed and on board. No chance of opening your pedal case and finding your carefully arranged pedals scratched up in a heap. Incidentally, they are also very suitable for protectingagainst theft!
