NISEBELLE’S DEMOS NEVER MISS, I SWEAR, EACH ONE KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER😭😭
The staff at the last place to just be able to hear you & say "try the Nobles" that's what you want in a guitar store. People who can just hear you & know what'll work. And that they saved you money after you decided to purchase...those are good people.
Your videos are truly a joy to watch and something our gear community needs! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Can’t wait for more Jag-Wars!
This was such a fun watch. Thanks for taking us with you gear hunting!
Hi Nisebelle, someone probably already told you somewhere in the comments, but to nobels also has a bass cut switch in the battery compartment so you can brighten up the tone if you want to.
Hey, this is so cool! It's awesome to see that the guitar shops in Seattle are still going strong. The Trading Musician has so many great memories. I even had a homeless guy warn me not to get ripped off by them once, back when homelessness wasn't such a big topic. They've always treated me well. But it's a shame that we've lost so many great shops in the south end. Don's Green River Music was epic, and A# was always fun, but they're both gone now. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure.
You should do more videos like this, watching you travel around the town is fun!
Pretty solid pick, sounds a bit like a Marshal Gov'ner pedal from 90s.
...
JHS has some fun pedalcasts since Josh has a collection of 4000+ pedals that they also regularly feature such a wide variety of brands.
When I bought my first overdrive pedal, it was a used DOD Mystic Blues that I bought second-hand for about $20.
It's still one of my favorite guitar pedals EVER, and I wouldn't change it for the world. It gives me exactly the tone that I need.
So I relate to the "I bought a surprisingly cheap yet unexpectedly good drive pedal" thing.
I just noticed that incredibly creative use of delay in the jam, your videos are genuinely some of the best I’ve seen and I’ll be first in line as soon as your original music hits the internet
Your editing is amazing, to the point even a instrument's noob like me loves your videos ! Thanks nisebelle
Thanks for sharing this, and taking us on your journey. Your song is awesome, your production sounds great!
love this format, the video itself, and the playing / composition at the end was superb!! Easily one of my favorite channels rn. Rock on nisebelle 🤟🏻
Such a chill fun watch, hope you do more videos like this!
Great video. I went through (maybe still going through) my OD/Distortion hunt and I loved hearing both the pedals you chose, but more importantly was your thought process. Too many RUclipsrs sing the praises of every demo pedal but few compare more than two and fewer still explain in context why one or more pedal might fit for different rigs. This was a pedal tour and I also liked the tour of literal shops and the city.
Great video this really satisfied the guitar geek in me. Oh and wonderful playing
sounds great, Nisbelle! Your new pedal really does match well with your rig and style!
This was the most fun guitar video I’ve seen in ages. It was a demo, a journey, a tour of one of my favorite cities, and the music and playing were great. Keep making stuff like this!
Nisebelle! Thanks for taking us shopping. Great choice of pedal. I love the demo at the end. Then you pulled out the violin and I said "whoa!" My friend, you are amazing. Happy playing to you!
Delightful vid, thanks for sharing!
Only just discovered your channel watching your old videos have inspired me to try a few mods and general maintenance and improve my soldering process keep rocking!🙂
that was a really cool video, also I loved the demo at the end!
Happy you found an overdrive that works for you 😊
And wow that demo at the end! You’re an amazing player and Ariel is such a cool guitar 💙
This is the first video I've watched from you. Good show. I subscribed.
I live about 45 miles from any legit music stores. I do almost all my pedal shopping online. Finding stuff that suits is nearly an impossible task because I can't play things before I buy them.
Thanks for the trip. I'll be checking your other stuff!
Your music and your videos are always so engaging and entertaining, thanks for sharing them with us! I used to be a pedal fiend before I became a mom and couldn't justify the spending. I've done a few shootouts over the years, to narrow it down to the ones I actually love and will use, and aside from a couple unique "boutique" ones that I kept because I'd never be able to get them again, now I end up playing with a Boss BD-2 the most. With a GE-7 EQ in front of it, I have been able to sculpt almost any tone I like, and it also happens to be the first pedal I ever bought
So fun to see you go to the same shops I did on my quest for an OD pedal. I ended up getting a Plumes from American music. It works great with my Epiphone SG (aftermarket pickups).
Your videos are always so fun AND informative. Thank you for representing our city in such a great way ❤
Just bumped into this video unexpectedly, but I've got to say, this video format is honestly really good, and super entertaining and engaging. Would absolutely love to see more of it, absolutely stellar work! Instantly subscribed! ^_^
Nisebelle, a very informative and useful video!!! Thank You Darlin'!!!!
Each video you upload is a banger! I would love to see a tour of your small studio and the gear in it!
Love that you got your pedal from one of my favorite places Trading musician, bought and sold so much gear through them over the years
nobels is one my favorites. great stacked or on its own. plus you can connect up 18volts to it . giving it tons of headroom. its a perfect simple od. great choice love the playing!
Nice. I liked the "let's involve the whole city in my pedal video" approach. Also great: the honest self-reflexion when it comes to what you really need.👍
This was really great! As a new player, it's so easy to give into the reviews, features and hype of various pedals. But your real world approach was a great reminder of simplicity and that it doesn't need to be flashy or high end.
I also love seeing practical use of a Whammy. One of my favorites and this was a unique and simple showcase of that pedal.
The whammy is my favorite pedal on my board! If I could only keep on pedal it would be that haha
Glad you enjoyed the video!
2am nisebelle lets goo
Congrats Nicebelle! That pedal sounds great. Loved the tune at the end too. Had to get up and dance. 😅
I love the background music in this, great watch!
I've been trying to learn how to play guitar for the last 15 years now. I always end up dropping it because I get distracted or because things happen in life.
I discovered your channel during a really exciting new chapter in my life and your videos have been one of my main inspirations when it comes to learning how to play again. Every time I receive a new video notification I get double the motivation because you always look so happy when you're playing and you always sound so good that I have to try and achieve that as well.
Thank you so much for the videos and for the inspiration!
You have no idea how happy that makes me to read! I’m so glad you’ve found some inspiration from these videos and I hope you keep on playing!
Great video!!
This video was so excellent! Thanks for taking us on your shopping journey, demonstrating financial restraint (this is something I struggle with lol), and fucking shredding throughout. Excited to see what's next from you :)))
i swear to god these demos r insane i'd kill for a full version
Great choice and great video 😁
This end demo was so sick! Can we please get a release? I keep listening to this.
Girl, I love that you're rockin' your true self! Subscribed!
Amazing tone and better playing. Loved your process for choosing a drive pedal 😅
It's always good to find the perfect, well anything. I've pretty much finished buying guitars, from an Edwards Les Paul Custom, to a Modded Strat and Penelope (My beloved telecaster) an AC15, and my now almost complete pedalboard, just waiting on the Wah/Volume pedal, TU3S and looper to come in. I have the perfect gear for me and now I just need to practice my exercises more and sculpting my tone.
I understand you were looking for a more transparent and tonally darker overdrive. You have made a very good choice, congratulations :) It is a choice that is compatible with your equipment. I follow your work and wish you continued success. Greetings from Turkey and my band Echo Noise. Gunay
YOU'RE AMAZING!! I love your videos and you truly inspire me to play more and try modding out sometime as well :) Thank you!!!
Wonderful content as always!
Great video, you're so good at putting a story together. Loved the demo song as well, like Covet meets that dog.
I've got the Nobels too, I love how smooth and articulate it sounds and it works great with my bright homemade guitar into my Marshall Origin that's set kinda dark.. Bonus is mine is a ltd edition in like a British Racing Green Sparkle so it's a little nicer to look at than the standard model haha!
Absolutely insane demo! Loved it. The ODR is sick, probably a bit too dark for my uses but I always enjoy hearing it in this type of context.
Fun video. I'm sitting next to my very first amp right now. I got it at Trading Musician... decades ago. I also spent like 3 hours in Dusty Strings looking for a "how to play beginner guitar" for my dad. I think they thought I was going to rob them.. But I found a book and got my dad into playing guitar.
Another one to consider is the TC Electronics MojoMojo OD. Been my favorite overdrive for a long time. Has a ton of bass, but it's a joy and like $50 new. Paul Gilbert used one for awhile, until they made him a signature Mojomojo. Not sure what the difference between the two is though.
I have tried dozens of overdrive pedals, the one thing I learned is that it is not pedal as such, but the interaction between amp and pedal that matters the most. If you realize that, you can get fantastic OD sounds with one or two 30-50 dollar drive pedals. Just test and mix until you find a good combination. And alwaysn always test on your own amp.
Great vlog and a good reminder that the world of music is out there with the sunshine, sunglasses, pavement, grass, and people, not in our collective amazon or reverb cart. Also, I've heard some iffy things about Big Ear so avoiding the pizza was probably for the best. I think your choice ended up sounding perfect; in the internet gear conversation, there's so much emphasis put on versatility that sometimes we get all this stuff and still have no direction. Thanks to the staff being right there, maybe we learned that the perfect pedal isn't the "best" pedal, it's the pedal that's just for you. Funnily enough, your pedalboard and set-and-forget use case has a lot in common with Josh Scott (creator of the Morning Glory), but he uses a Sovtek Mig 50 (very close to a Fender Bassman, darker than your amps) which explains why it felt like 96% right. Every time you hit the octave-up on the Whammy not only was it smooth (like you intended) but I had some the same feeling as my first time listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, so not only are you sounding good, but the music is happening! Excited to hear what you write.
This is so great. The take away for me is that the more expensive pedal is not necessarily "better". Sometimes a cheap pedal is great! I think even Josh from JHS would say that. 🤘
Sounds great that pedal, bargain price too.
Really like your playing, full of interesting ideas, your videos are always well put together and entertaining.
Hey what's not to like?!
I was very pleased to see the Mojo Hand Magpie get a look in. It's underrated and fabulous in equal measure. But you made the Nobels sound so good I may have to get one myself! And Nisebellle, you are FANTASTIC guitar player, like seriously top tier. That whole demo at the end is magnificent! Thank you!
I’d never heard of Mojo Hand FX before this but the Magpie was such a great pedal!
When I saw the last store I instantly thought you should of tried the odr 1 props to the shop for suggesting 1 something that is amazing but most people don’t know about 2 suggesting something good/different even if it is less expensive than what you were going to walk out with it shows that the store really has integrity
Used to buy and sell my gear at the Trading Musician back in the 90s! Lots a of good deals to be had back then. My petal vote would be DS1, DS2, Sansamp Classic and Tube Screamer..
Ah, the good ol' trading musician.
I'm on the OD hunt, too, but probably shouldn't be. I keep building another one, buying another one and modding it, and going back to the ol' SD-1 and DOD 250 pedals. WELP
damn! 12:03 kicks on and that sounds gooooooood. Thanks for the vid!
Love the Seattle scene (when the sun is out)!
Another win for the nobels! Great demo vid!
Yessss another upload!❤
Looking forward for more music from you.
I do not have a preferred overdrive but I am using my Boss DS-1w. It is so good I prefer the distortion from my pedal than my DSL20 drive channel.
It’s nice to see a RUclips pedal review video by someone who isn’t playing blues, jazz fusion, or metal. Getting a sense of how a pedal sounds when some goober is only playing blues licks is just impossible for me.
The first pedal I bought was a Tube Screamer in 1981 but it took more than 15 years for me to really get into Gear Acquirement Syndrome. I like my Rocktron Gainiac.
Amazing sounds from the lime green guy!! Keep up the amazing work.🎉❤
The best overdrive for me: T-Rex Møller (or Moller, if you don't have the Danish ø). I've tried quite a few overdrive pedals and this one just works better than any other, for me. It's similar to a Tube Screamer, but it's not a TS. The T-Rex Møller is more transparent, it doesn't have as much of those honky mids. These are the features:
- overdrive and a boost channel (gain, tone and level for the OD, one boost knob for the boost volume)
- a mix knob so you can mix in dry signal with your overdrive, so you'll cut through the mix better
- a button (version 1)/a switch (version 2) that gives you more or less low end; I prefer more.
It's simple, but it sounds really good! It has seriously worked with any other overdrive, distortion and fuzz pedal that I have tried it with, before or after those. It's crazy! I put my DOD Carcosa fuzz into it and it just fattened the fuzz up like a champ!
One interesting thing is that the guys at That Pedal Show did a shootout between different types of pedals compared to the King Of Tone, and it turns out that the T-Rex Møller sounds the closest. That's good, because you can find them for only 50 bucks. I have the first version of the pedal, but it's the same circuit, it's just that the V2 has a switch instead of a button for the low end toggle, as I wrote above.
Try the T-Rex Møller, I'm curious what you think!
Congrats on your choice. I use the Wampler take on the Nobels ODR1 (it’s called the ‘Belle’). I think it was $149 new (not even used). And I LOVE it! It’s my favorite OD pedal. I love that ODR-style sound.
Also my fave OD.
I love a cheap dupe. I recently sold my TS808 for like £100 cause I remembered I still had my first pedal - an Arion Tubulator that cost £20. I figured I couldn't imagine a person who'd reliably be able to tell the difference, and cashed in.
the nobels is my most recent overdrive addition, and it went instantly into permanent usage status in my stacking array.
This was fun!
I love how the shop did to opposite of UPsell you and you got exactly what you wanted. 🥰
Oh snap that’s crazy they have one of those pizza muffs
Good call on the Nobels’ EQ!! Fits perfectly with your rig. The added meat when switching from sparkly clean to drive is just right.
The fender pedal sounded amazing, sad that the boost wasn't apparent, that might be a winner for me. Right now my only OD is a kingtone duellist, albeit a bit expensive.
That demo jam is epic
I do love that in combo with the pedalboard it got some really nice Yvette Young vibes.
For me, my perfect pedal(s) is the Boss CE-20 dual chorus the SansAmp YYZ. Perfect for my fretless bass. The Boss gives you all their classic chorus and able store your settings. The YYZ gives just enough boost and grit. Perfect pedals for the bass.
Holy shit, that demo was such a banger!
Cool riff and interesting story-telling.
Holy guacamole! I found your Jag neck video today and you and I have so many of the same guitar loves! We both own Jags, you own a Bass VI and I’ve always wanted one. You also identify more as a bass player, and I do also. You have the Epiphone Valve Jr cab and my amp is an Epiphone Valve Jr! I also learned in this video you’re from Seattle and I live down in the Tacoma area (I NEED to go to those stores!!)
I have also been eyeing the Nobels OD. I played the mini version at GC while my girlfriend was at Ross shopping, but I wasn’t impressed. I think it also had to do with the Squier Jag a thousand people have used I was playing and non-dialed in demo pedal amp. I think if I went in with MY Jag and took the time to dial in the amp, it would yield better results.
I think I’ll play my Jaguar now! Thank you for inspiring me!
This truly speaks to me
that violin part is so cool i really didn't expect it but it works so well. kind of wish it was longer
Seems to go great with that Jag, which I also really like
Beautifully shot, beautifully mixed, and the editing! It’s awesome to see your content find its style.
Recently I’ve been chasing the ear-bleeding icepick treble sound on Atomizer and Songs About Fucking by Big Black - I play in & produce noise bands, and it helps to have one guitar part sound very dark and full of spitty velcro fuzz, while the other goes in that Albini icepick metal-on-metal direction. I’ve got close with various Interfax HP-1 clones but they all lack the industrial brutishness of the original.
Joe Gore's Porkolator is a solid option for HP-1 sounds. Some of that sound likely comes from the aluminum neck and pickups Albini used.
That lunch looked so delicious. Please tell me there's a behind the scenes clip that details all the menu choices 😄 I got the ODR mini a while back, and I really enjoy what it brings. You are getting some great sounds out of your ODR-1 and your rig in general!
Nice video - I just use a 40 buck Caline Crazy Cacti two stage drive (Fulltone clone)...Keely has just released the Tube Screamer/Nobel 2-1 pedal, too!
Dang thank you for reminding me about the ODR-1 Mini that's been sitting in my closet forever 😅 super underrated pedal, I back that choice
There’s a mini?! I may have to look into that so I can fit more delays on my bored haha
Sweet tones and tune! I had no idea Dusty Strings carried electric stuff. 👀
I'm always searching for fuzz and reverb pedals. Just picked up a Keeley Loomer, which has both. Love the muff setting on it. Can't say it's my favorite verb, but having the flexibility to run it pre or post fuzz is sweet.
Oh, great meeting you at Mike's gig on Saturday.
I didn't know they did either until I was on their website! I love the Loomer! Definitely one of my favorites fuzzes.
It was great to meet you as well! What a great show!
as ridiculous as the slice of pie fuzz is, i’ve actually had my eye on it since it came out. it’s silly and definitely doesn’t *visually* fit in on a “serious” pedal board, but it has a vibe and sounds amazing.
the odr-1 is a really fantastic hidden gem, and is absolutely worth checking out at least once. it’s definitely not for everyone, as you said, it’s very dark, but damn if it doesn’t sound great
If you like the Nobels and the Morning Glory check out the Browne Protein. It's quite expensive even used but it has both circuits in a small dual housing and each side has 3 controls.
these videos are so real
That outro demo was awesome
I foundy perfect OD pedal with the blackstar HT-Dual. It has a tube inside and brings real tube overdrive. Love to use it with my Roland Bluescube Artist. (Solid state)
that was wicked
Thanks for for Sharing 🎸🎶🎵🇬🇧
They all sounded great to me, but I'd probably go with the Keely for my sound. But forget all that, what we really need is a full breakdown and technical analysis of those absolute banger sunglasses!
The knock off raybans come stock with a black poly finish, gold hardware, and some really nice warm dark lenses!
Great channel!
that demo song sounded so good!! where can I stream it? Great video!
