I know a lot of people go crazy over the old 90s one, but I think the mini and new one sound great too. Don’t get me wrong, if I had the 90s one I’d use it all the time, but these two are great. Also recently i saw the new one used at 18v instead of 9v and felt it subtly made it sound more like the original - in a blind comparison too so not just placebo
Thank you! Great review! You did everything right when you showed these two pedals and it's also right that you did it on the Alder Telekaster and mahogany Lespol because the red derv guitar itself has a lower tone spectrum than the alder guitar and this should be taken into account already in each specific case in practice!
I have Nobels ODR Mini, which I successfully bought on the occasion. I could not purchase the full version of Nobels ODR-1 in Russia and was worried that she would lose by sound to her big brother at the expense of SMD elements on the circuit board, but this did not happen. I only regret that my version does not have the ability to reduce low frequencies if necessary...
Did you use my silk suit advice on packing light, did ya get any cool souvenirs? Mmm I’ve been looking at the mini , but the bass cut full-size unit is pretty intriguing.
He he, in the end I didn't pack any silk, but went thrift shopping to see if I could find any there... no dice :( Next year! Otherwise all I got was this pedal. I went round all the local used guitar stores looking for a bargain too, but nothing to be found. Perhaps other NAMMers got there first! I'm yet to really get into the BC model, but I do think that little switch could be a godsend for all humbucker-equipped heavier rock players! And it's really not much pricier than the Mini... just chunkier!
I had a silver Nobels ODR-1 from the 2000's and then suffered through a house fire and lost many things including that pedal. I was extremely disappointed to see how outrageous the things are pricing. I just want my pedal back.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Michael. At least you are OK. I sympathize with you on the pricing, though - I've had my eye out for some older Nobels pedals for a while, and the prices are crazy high! Hope you manage to get another one day :)
@@RichWordsMusic I'm pretty much set with a triple combo of Tone City Blues Man, Bad Horse, Kaffir Lime - not sure if I need the Nobleman but would still love to hear your opinion 🙂
@@quiksilver78 I will endeavor to get some Tone City pedals in to try then! As we've talked about before, it's high on my list :) Maybe I should do some kind of 'affordable mini board' project, and they'd be ideal for that!
What, only three timestamps this week?! Crazy:
00:00 Hello and all about the Nobels ODR pedals
02:14 Single coil loop comparing both pedals
06:02 Humbucker loop with just the ODR-1 BC
Enjoy!

Both sound freaking incredible. My favorite overdrive. I need two!!
Yeah, having both is of course the best of both worlds as well 😎 And they're cheap enough to do that! They stack beautifully too... go for it, I say!

A really nobel sounding overdrive! I'll see myself out!
You left some sarcasm behind, is it ok if I use it?? I love that stuff
@@PooNinja Sure, why not?
Ha ha, you guys! I certainly felt very distinguihed while playing it.
@@RichWordsMusic Good!

👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers for watching as ever!
I have the mini. I don't like the very clicky footswitch. For me thereunder is similar enough not to need to change, apart from the click.
The one to compare to is the nordlander
I totally agree! That's on my list to try soon too :)
obligatory comparison with the Tone City Nobleman
Oh yes, that one's got to be done soon!
