Thanks Joe! I posted this re 18v: "A couple of you have asked me about running the ODR-10 on 18v vs 9v. I know Tim Pierce is running his at 18v, but he hasn't really A/B'd it at 9v. I did some testing: > Running it at 18v is fine, the circuit can handle it > At 18v there is a roughly 1db dip in the low end starting at ~200hz. That may make the pedal sound brighter and a touch more "open". I don't find the difference dramatic, but YMMV; it doesn't hurt to try both!"
@@karmaguitaramplifiers7967 thanks that’s good to know. I’m using a Strymon 500ma 9 volt tap from iso supply currently and it’s going well. Using live tomorrow.
I got the ODR-10 as soon as Greg announced it, since I already had the MTN-10 which is a fantastic pedal too. I love the ODR-10, to me it does the ODR-1 thing but with "more"! My ODR-1 mini and ODR-1 BC sound muffled and dull compared to the ODR-10. I used the ODR-1's mainly as a clean boost, but the ODR-10 can do that but also sounds great when you turn up the drive!
The latest version of the AnalogMan King of Tone can be run with 18V power, which provides a little more max volume and noticeably less compression / more clean headroom. The more open sound is very pleasant to my ears. I think you are experiencing the same thing here. Modern op amps can run from even higher voltage, but the limiting factor is usually the voltage rating on any electrolytic capacitors. Also you don't want to smoke the input circuitry on the next pedal with a super hot audio signal.
You did. a great thing Greg. Glad Tim's happy. I'm loving it and it stacks unbelievably with the MNT-10 into it. I need to try 18v

I’m gonna need both 😊

Personally a big fan of Tim and John Jorgenson. More-so than other Nobels players.
Is Tim playing the Line Boost into the ODR 10? It sounds wonderful and full.
As Buc says the screamer has too much clean tone coming through it. ODR10 sounds great.
You should compare the two pedals using the same 18v power. The Nobel will sound better and louder with a 18v power supply.
That's a good idea! I'm fairly certain that would be safe but wouldn't want to do it with Tim's, which is shipping back to him this week anyway.
Actually the 18v power supply is also recommanded for the Nobel screamer@@karmaguitaramplifiers7967
