My buddy Zac DelVecchio designed the specs and had ThroBak build the pickups. That particular 335 is definitely a freak. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words!
That was an excellent production video, I have one of these ODR one anniversary specials being delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much again, subscription added
I’ve heard great things about the Keeley! The dream 65 is shockingly close to the real deal. Use it as a backup if my amp goes down but now just use it out of convenience. Thank you again for your kindness. Really appreciate it man
Great tones! I’ve got the AionFX Andromeda which is an ODR-1 clone with a bass control. It’s my foundational pedal. It sits last in the chain because that is what most affects the tone, and it stacks gloriously with the EHX Spruce Goose (Bluesbreaker). Great use of that cut.
Hey Steve, it depends on what the client/producer/engineer wants. Sometimes it all goes analog to tape, sometimes all delays and verbs are in the box, sometimes a combination of the two. Some prefer my printed effects and a DI. So it all varies.
@@positivityduo I run into a radial DI that goes to a channel on my interface then to a track in my DAW. From the other side of that DI it goes to my Pedal Board and Amp then to the DAW. This gives the option of DI, Dry Amped Signal, and Dry Amped Signal with stereo effects if needed.
Great demo, nicely done. The different layers show the versatility of the pedal really well. I especially appreciated you using an ES-335 instead of a Strat as do myriads of other demos. What pickups are in your ES?
Really appreciate the kind words! I got lucky with this 335, definitely has something special about it. It has ThroBaks in it…a builder friend of mine here in town (Zac DelVecchio) had them wound to his specs.
Hi Nicky, I've been looking at this ODR-1 and I found that it matters that it's the one made in 92' which has the JFET inside it and that would be the OD-1
Love the content Nicky, really refreshing to see something different with this genre. The studio behind the scenes are fascinating and it was great to see your approach with building a track! Is the backing track something we could download, sounds like a lot of fun?
You are too kind! I haven’t released any of these electric tracks. Usually just doing it for other people’s records. I have a bunch of acoustic music released on the regular streaming platforms though. Appreciate you watching and thank you for the kind words and encouragement!
Killer demo! Would you say this would be able to cover some blues rock styles or a pushed fender type tone, say SRV, Philip Sayce and some Hendrix lower gain/pushed cleans? Does the gain go low and clear enough for that? Seems like this and other Nobels ODR-1 variants are awesome at being a great all around amp-like tone, but Ive never seen someone use one to pull out some of those type of tones yet, so just curious. Thanks!
It doesn’t have the super mid heavy TS thing in my opinion but I actually use it clean more than anything. Seems to live on about 2-3 on the drive knob most of the time when tracking. But can definitely roar if you need it to. Appreciate the kind words and you checking the video out
@@NickyV I was actually thinking of using it as a base tone to mimic a pushed amp, and then run another pedal into it at times rather than trying to use it like a tube screamer. How do you like the 30th with single coils? Thanks!
@@xderiwx Right on! It definitely sounds like a pushed amp to my ears. I love it with a Tele...track it all the time. Never ran an ODR live so not as familiar with how it reacts on a stage through a PA
Nick you own your craft. I am amazed at the variety of skills you posses. I dont mean to embarrass you but. your a damn fine guitar player and your a total genius sound tech then you show off as a production engineer. Where do you hide your cape?
The spectrum boosts or cuts highs and lows at the same time. My theory why people say it has too much low end is because they turn up the spectrum knob expecting it to get brighter but you're boosting lows too.
Totally get that, and I think most people don't realize this. Personally, I want to be able to get more sparkle on the top without bringing in anything below 200(ish)Hz. I think your theory is spot on, thank you for watching!
Right on! This one used my old fender 1x12 cab with a Celestion cream-back miced up in a closet. I also use an OX Box and it’s fantastic as well. Thanks for watching man!
I have the mini and the bass cut version of it, but I might switch the golden one as well. The mini has way to much bass and the bass cut version has not enough when the switch is on in my opinion. Is it just me?😅 I heard that from other people as well, I think it’s weird that they don’t checked the eq in different situations before they released it?
I have the mini and run my GE-7 eq right after it on one board, then the gold one on another. What you are saying about the mini is spot on. Don’t know about the bass cut one but the gold is the money
Not on this one. Had the 65 bassman running into a creamback in the other room. Honestly I haven’t tried the dream out yet…I just have it on there if I needed a second direct option for my live board. Definitely plan on digging into it soon though.
It’s popular everywhere now but I think a large part of that popularity spread from studio guys using it in Nashville then RUclips blowing it up. Similar thing happened in LA with Xotic Effects.
@@NickyV On a gig, it's faster and easier than digging around for a screwdriver and a rag. We all have a credit card in our wallet or bag or pocket or phone case.
I am sorry but for 50 euro I got a klone from the Klon Centaure and it sounds at least as good ( I think even better ) as this Nobels overdrive pedal.( 160 euro's ) You may think what you ethical find of this purchase but sound wise it is a fact . But you got your free pick and an official certificate so go for it man !!!
I have a few Klon style pedals, use an archer select quite a bit. The Klon sounds great in a room as a snarly attitude pedal and amazing live but the ODR-1 has something that working in the context of a mix for more uses. If budget is a concern I also have the cheap Nobels mini on my big studio board and love it on sessions. Just two different flavors for two different uses in my opinion.
I have both Nordlands (ODR-C and CC+), Nobels ODR-1 30th, and Karma ODR-10. I haven’t touched my Nordlands since I got the ODR-1 and Karma. Not that the Nordlands are inferior, I just get the sounds I want faster with the Nobels 30th and Karma

Great demo, Nicky! Thank you very much and kind regards from the Nobels team 🙂
Thank you for making such an inspiring product!
Hi Nobels team , you've created something cool , the overdrive pedal to go for .
Thank you very much for your warm words! All the best from the Nobels team!@@-Atmos1
@@nobelsofficial5766 i have the green reissue one. My favourit overdrive now. Is there a differince in the bass cut on this new pedal ?
The circuit is different, because its a clone of an old vintage "original" from 1993. And you can adjust the bass cut with a wider range.
That is some great tone!! Really enjoyed this video and your playing.
You are very kind. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!
I already knew the Nobels would sound amazing, but now I think I need a 335 to go with it. What a great pair.
Haha right on. This ones a freak...hard to make it sound too bad.
And a Bassman amp to! 😄 Great tone👍🏽
@@Bobby_Digital37thanks!
Great video sir! I especially liked seeing how you built up layers using the same pedal bit by adjusting the settings etc
Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
The versatility of that 335 is amazing. Great job on this! Thanks!

great demo i just got a nobles and it blows me away every time i use it
It’s crazy how it always seems to work
I use that pedal for everything, its a great tool. Thank you for a great video, loved the song actually 🎉
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words and so glad you like it.
Awesome pedal,,,ive played analog man ,,,maxon,,808 tube screamer,,,,,these pedals are a gift.....cheers.....just ordered one today from Nashville ❤
Killer! Appreciate you watching!
Great demo and playing! I have the bass-cut switch model and love it. Just ordered this one. All the best with your channel. Liked and sub'd.
Right on! Much appreciated and thank you for the kind words.
Skillfully and crafted with expertice....!!!
100%
Nice work Nicky V! Received my pedal Nbr 333. Fantastic pedal...
Nice! Appreciate it and thanks for watching
That was an excellent production video, I have one of these ODR one anniversary specials being delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it.
Thank you so much again, subscription added
You are too kind. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Also, thank you for the subscription!
ODR1 just sweetens up the tone , I love my mini , this anniversary version sounds sweet too .
I don’t think you can beat the mini for the money. Fantastic pedal. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this, very in depth and great playing, hats off to ya 👍🏻⭐️🌞🎸
Really appreciate the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it :)
Love that pedal, I just got the Keeley Noble Screamer, and it’s amazing. That Dream 65 has some amazing features, mine comes in this week.
I’ve heard great things about the Keeley! The dream 65 is shockingly close to the real deal. Use it as a backup if my amp goes down but now just use it out of convenience. Thank you again for your kindness. Really appreciate it man

Right on! I run my ODR with a BB from Exotic Effects (Bluesbreaker as well). Thanks for watching!
Hello Nick,
In general, are you printing your tone with Effects or, are you sending in a dry Guitar signal with Effects separate? Thanks,
Steve
Hey Steve, it depends on what the client/producer/engineer wants. Sometimes it all goes analog to tape, sometimes all delays and verbs are in the box, sometimes a combination of the two. Some prefer my printed effects and a DI. So it all varies.
So, if you’re asked for dry guitar with separate stereo effects, how do you capture it all for recording.
@@positivityduo I run into a radial DI that goes to a channel on my interface then to a track in my DAW. From the other side of that DI it goes to my Pedal Board and Amp then to the DAW. This gives the option of DI, Dry Amped Signal, and Dry Amped Signal with stereo effects if needed.
Nick, thanks Brother.

Hahaha appreciate it man. So glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Super Cool.
Sounds great , LTD edition is tempting . demo is interesting .
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
So Fantastic! What tremolo do you use? I'll be getting the ODR 1 for sure- thanks for the tip.
I was using a Strymon mobius for the trem. So glad you enjoyed it!

Great demo. I’ve just ordered the wampler belle, after having the too much bass problem with the visual sound open road and odr1 reissue.
Nice. I haven’t tried that one yet but might have to check it out.
Anniversary addition released to keep up with the Robert Keeley
Very nice. Definitely going to pick one up...I'll tell em at Sweetwater you sent me!😉Is the Royer/Speaker in an Iso cab?
Right on! This one used my old fender 1x12 cab with a Celestion cream-back miced up in a closet.

oh my word
Do you think this would be good for heavy rock for a warmer kind of sound ?
I’ve used it on a bunch of rock tracks. It’s definitely not a crazy high gain pedal but with an amp already crunching a bit it gets pretty dirty.
@@NickyV Ok thank you. It sounds really nice so I think I’d like to have it on hand. 🇺🇸👍
Great vid
Thank you!
doing a damn good job !
Thanks man!
love it
does the Mini have the bass cut mod?
No, not that I'm aware of. Thats why I swapped them out. The mini is amazing though...put it on probably 25 records in the last three months.
So not using the Dream on these? Sounds great.
Not on this one. Had the 65 bassman running into a creamback in the other room.
Honestly I haven’t tried the dream out yet…I just have it on there if I needed a second direct option for my live board. Definitely plan on digging into it soon though.
I'm in the UK and I still don't understand the Nashville reference when talking about the ODR-1.
It’s popular everywhere now but I think a large part of that popularity spread from studio guys using it in Nashville then RUclips blowing it up. Similar thing happened in LA with Xotic Effects.
Pro tip - use an old credit card for separating and lifting a pedal with dual lock off the board.
Killer! Will try that next time

Man back of a bytter knife
Or a new one and end up saving yourself a ton of money lol

@@NickyV Well , if you take your time and turn on the knobs of the klon a while you will be amazed how versatile that pedal is.
Nordland had 30th pedals! ODR-C! only 200 made! superior to Nobels
Superior? Nah, just a different take. The 30th Nobels pedal is awesome.
I have both Nordland and Nobles and the Nordland sounds better (quieter) and more versatile.
@@KennethKassabian You have the 30th anniversary edition? Also, I am a snob about noise. Definitely find the standard ODR to be quiet.
I have both Nordlands (ODR-C and CC+), Nobels ODR-1 30th, and Karma ODR-10. I haven’t touched my Nordlands since I got the ODR-1 and Karma. Not that the Nordlands are inferior, I just get the sounds I want faster with the Nobels 30th and Karma
Meh
I sold my green one because the bass, too much
imho a BASS cut would be easy mod,
