The Nobels ODR-1X at a glance:
With the ODR-1X, Nobels delivers an extended version of the ODR-1 with practical new features: Thanks to the stepless Bass Cut control and Gain Boost, two additional features have been integrated, allowing precise sound fine-tuning with rich gain reserves. The Bass cut allows precise processing options in the low frequencies, enabling a tidy bass frequency range to be adjusted according to taste and requirements. Thanks to the gain boost switch, the ODR-1X offers plenty of power - the gain Boost can be switched on and off in a versatile manner using an external footswitch (optionally available). In addition, the pedal has been equipped with "Glow-in-the-Dark-Pointer" controls, which are particularly useful in low light conditions!
With its broad sound image, which can be precisely adjusted despite its straightforward design, it provides the perfect basis for bluesy crunch and juicy Overdrive for rock. Especially in the studio scene of the music metropolis Nashville, Tennessee, these characteristics have made the compact pedal the absolute number one for recordings since the mid-90s. The electric guitar effects unit also cuts an excellent figure as Boost in front of an already distorting amp. While the Drive control determines the degree of distortion, the Spectrum control can be used to adjust the mid and treble character of the circuit.
