I have played with a strat and tube screamer for most of my life, and while I can see that it fattens up the strat, I just have never resonated with it. Finally just replaced it with the ODR1 on my board today and am immediately enthralled.
As always, great playing guys. However, I feel like we would all benefit with more rhythm playing in your videos, to get a better understanding of the pedals overall character and idiosyncrasies. Chording with the ODR-1’s bass cut on/off would show how that low end affects the other notes clarity. Thanks for all you do.
I always assumed you guys knew about the Nobels. Out here in Nashville, it’s everywhere. My favorite take on the ODR-1 was the Visual Sound (now Truetone) Open Road. Such an underrated pedal. Anyone who plays a Fender and hangs on the bridge pickup, it’s your pedal. Absolute magic with Jazzmasters.
Love the open road but because of the large and strange shape it kept breaking in my pedal train bag, went through 2 of them and have had them repaired.
One of my favorite combos: a mid-gain ODR-1 into a low-gain Rat. Thick distortion with clarity--love it for shoegazey walls of sound. When I really want something crushing, I send those two into a Big Muff.
@@ThatPedalShow I was just thinking about that, by god! The Rat is one of my very favorite sleepers as an overdrive - with low gain and the filter high, it's great for fusiony tones - and the ODR-1 here is reminding me sometimes of Larry Carlton's tweed Deluxe sound, so the articulacy of the ODR-1 --> the thickness and sweetness of the Rat is probably great.
Great show. I agree wholeheartedly when Mick mentions that "it's all about context". Only The Pedal Show is able to bring that to us pedal lovers. To hear these pedals in a nose-to-nose comparison really lets us, the viewers, make better choices. Your show has also been very instrumental in helping me hear these differences. Thanks for all you do... Now on to buy a T-shirt!!
So excited to see this show, gents! Please, please schedule a future follow up to this comparing the ODR variants: Nordland ODR-C (built by Kai himself), the Shanks ODS-1, and the Browne Protein. This circuit is so interesting and the variants are all worthy of a listen. Anyway, I love pedal comparison shows, I could watch these all day long.
Exquisite episode. Eventhough I dont use a Fender nor Vox, just hearing the magic those Ods can add in Mick and Dan's tasteful tweaking is in my humble opinion what TPS does best: showcasing pedal's magic tone/uses with tasty guitar riffs. Keep rocking.. and yes there more great ODs to be discovered yet. Im lucky enoough to have a few magic ones myself and none are a Klon nor Tubescreamer. Each player has different taste. All is good.
Too many demos start low, play, add a bit, play, repeat. Who wants to know every shade of a pedal? I just want to know what it sounds like at its best and a bit about why, and how it reacts to different guitars is way more informative than how it differs when the gain is at 2 o clock or 5 o clock.
j ai une Vertex steel string qui est toujours allumée , et juste apres j ai la Nobels Odr1 , le son est une pure merveille , avec mes telecaster ca sonne comme dans un reve
I have an AC15. I have a Deluxe Reverb. I have an ODR-1. I have a TS9. This is right up my alley. Looking forward to watching the whole thing...very closely. Thanks gents
Thanks for sorting this out for us guys. Some of us neither have access to the pedals nor the knowledge to begin to make sense of our own pedal options. These videos are helpful to state the least.
I was shocked by the performance of this pedal when I first got one. It's no surprise it was the best kept secret for session musicians, this thing can do it all and get your signal in a very fantastic spot in the mix.
I love the in episode cut away to the vlogs out of the room. Makes the show feel like a TV episode instead of one long YT video! (Reminds me of GBBO 😂)
"He wanted to design a pedal that reacted the same way as his (old tube amp)...thus, the pedal was born..." -- literally every origin story of every overdrive pedal ever made
As a ac-15 guy who uses the odr1 and a blues driver. That’s a sound I know well. Side note turn the drive down to the 9 o’clock position and hitting it with a rat is a glorious noise.
Great episode, TPS! The Nobels has been my number one fave for 10+ years of live gigs and studio work. Just played 4 sets with it last night with crunchy rhythm and screaming leads. Always musical, inspiring and plays nicely in gain stacks. So happy that you finally found the ODR! Great stuff 👍
My first "boutique" OD was the Guthrie Trapp OD fro JRAD, their interpretation of the ODR. With a strat and clean blackface, it's the perfect bridge PU drive. Great show once again mates!
@@MrAwesomeSaucesome Mine is the older black one. A bit more gain on tap than the newer ones (I'm told). Keeping the gain below 11oclock is very satisfying. "Chewy" or "saggy" low end, just the right bite up top and wonderfully dynamic. My only gripe was it's a pedal that really sounds best LOUD to push your preamp, similar to how you might setup a klon. With a tele and Deluxe Reverb, it's the prefect drive. With a strat, really need more mids than it can push.
I've had the odr1 for 6 months, and could not be happier. It took several pedals to the pawn shop. Put it with a tumnus deluxe and set both on the lighter gain side, and you have heaven together. As far as the mid hump, I use an mxr 6 band to achieve as needed, usually around +5 to 8 dB on the 400 and 800 bands. Also using a Joyo Am Sound for added bass and light drive as needed.. The remote portion the odr1 is for turning the bass cut on and off with a footswitch btw, so makes setting for humbuckers or single coils on the fly in live settings a breeze. This peddle plays very well with others, has its own sound, and I feel like it's a mildly scooped version of a BD crossed with a TS. Just lovely as always D & M, cheers from KY.
Guys, you have to get ahold of the Nordland ODR-C if you haven’t played one already.. Bloody mint, with a bass cut, mids and multi band compression lift
@@1redgate8 Yeah it’s up there...but I’m a massive believer in “buy once; cry once”. Yes there’s hyper-inflated pedal prices but I have really discovered that you get what you pay for - especially here. Amazing pedal - and I have Kingsley/Vemuran offerings!
Totally agree, but what one needs is different for everyone. Either way, the guy's genius how he did the circuit. Happy I bought into the family - I did initially think it was all just hype...
An old bandmate of mine, very talented frontman/guitarist absolutely swears by this pedal, and didn't suggest but told me to buy one of these when I was starting to rebuild my rig and get back into a band setting. I put my LP through it into a cranked 65' Fender, bridge pickup, and understood immediately. The drive just punches through the mix, it just sings. I don't even like overdrive pedals, I normally boost with an eq, but this thing in front of it just sets the amp on fire. I use the level primarily but the drive, which even though I only like amp gain, still has great character, and I like to occasionally mix some of it in for some Steve Jonesish effects.
Dan @39:27 “As soon as the ODR went on, I wanted to play music”. DUDE I could instantly feel it was happening!! All the way across the Internet!! At 38:57 when you got on it my foot started tapping at the exact same time! It’s an inspiring pedal for sure in it’s own place 😊
Bukovac says that every time he hears a guitarist disappear in a live mix, it’s always on a Fender guitar. I think that’s the function of TS circuits: sort of a live-gig ‘ass saver’ for Fender guitars into Fender amps. Reversing the scoop. That said… every time you switch to the ODR, the sound is somehow more ‘charismatic.’ More satisfying and fun to listen to. Wild.
Yeah, when I saw Johnny Marr play with...I forget who, not The Smiths - but anyway, his Strat was the incredible disappearing guitar. The other guy had a 335, totally dominated the Fender.
If Bukovac said it, it’s true and that is not sarcasm. He is a tone, pedal, guitar and overall music genius. The man can play as fast as anyone about there but chooses to be musical. Sometimes he’ll throw a fast lick or run but he’s so damn musical and creative it boggles my mind. Man I love Uncle Larry. I always take his advice. He’s definitely someone you can trust having played on something like 600 or more albums. Plus he just has that ear where he can hear something and figure it out.
YES Stephen Munns. As for Fender backline, the notion that it doesn't cut through a live mix just runs contrary to the over 30years of playing and working with actual pros that I have in me. 🍀ain't talking about the cheapo things they build for bedrooms, but mate, even a bloody Champ will sit proud in a mix. Am astonished to even be having this conversation. As for Strats... Yeah I really have trouble picking Gilmour, Clapton, SRV, Jimi, out of a mix....RIDICULOUS
I AM INSTANTLY SOLD!! THIS IS THE OVER DRIVE PEDAL I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE ODR1 TILL THIS AWESOME VIDEO. THANKS ONCE AGAIN GUYS. IM GOING SHOPPING FOR MY ODR1 ASAP. signed GUITAR WIZARD.. ✌️ LUVS,N,GUITARS...
Saw the show Friday and was blown away. Ordered an ODR-1 that day and it showed up today. Fantastic with both Strat and LP and stacked into my ZenDrive was glorious! Cheers guys! Another well done show. I really appreciate how well you explain everything with each pedal. Thanks!
I've never been a tube screamer guy... if it was green I avoided it all together.... wow did I assume completely wrong about the ODR-1. I watched this video, and went and bought one. I've plugged it into multiple amps in my collection with multiple different guitars.... I absolutely LOVE the ODR-1!!!! Also very happy I didn't spend the money on the Waza Blues Driver, because it was on my list. The ODR-1 was the exact sound I looking for.
Don't discount the Tube Screamer just because it has been around so long and everyone seems to have one. A Tube Screamer can boost the ODR-1 or the Bllues Driver into the Lead EQ every live guitarist needs badly. To me the Tube screamer is a naturally good EQ curve for lead guitar.
This was a revelation. Thanks for using good, well-known, "affordable" amps for this video. I also really enjoyed all the detail: each amp individually, together, neck & bridge pickups, combo of pedals - that all really helped me hear the differences. Okay, I want one now.
Now I've watched some videos on the Wampler Belle and I think that it has some great options even over the ODR-1. Hmmm.... do you two have one of those?
Glad to see the ODR-1 getting some love on TPS. Got mine about 4 years ago for $50 US, this episode should help to drive up the used prices unfortunately. The ODR-1 works great with the Blues driver (also on my board)! Cheers and thanks for the fun episode!
Cheers boys, yet again i have used you as a reference and as a back catalogue for invaluable information. I am now off to my guitar shop to purchase one of the Nobles ODR1 pedals 😊 Brilliant, cheers again.
It's so much fuller and richer than the TS. I'm glad I chose the Nobels when I was searching for dirt. The Blues Driver does stand up to it though. I believe they're peers.
You guys are so timely. The ODR-1 (pre-bass-cut model) has recently replaced my TubeScreamer on my board. Drive at 1.5, Spectrum at 7 and Level at 4. But for me it requires a GE-7 EQ in front of it to boost 3.2K a hair and cut 200 a smidge. Yeah, the EQ takes up real estate but I like the results. Just enough girth with a hint of overdrive hair. My gear is a Highway-One Tele into an EC Vibrochamp. I'll leave out all the other pedals you two have "suckered" me into... ;-)
As is so often true - the beautifully balanced, smooth ODR-1 sounds a lot better in isolation, but the more aggressive sounding, honkier BD-2 would probably cut better in a band situation.
Just purchased a Nobels, and Wow!! First OD pedal that I can play through my Fender Deluxe Reverb and Marshall Origin 20 Combo amps without needing a boost pedal to sound great with gain. The bass cut is absolutely needed when playing humbuckers with tube amps. But not needed when using fender single coils. This pedal allows you to shape the tone in ways I could never find at this pedal price point -- giving you the ability to find the best dirty rock sounds with all sorts of guitar pickup combinations -- hums, mini hums, p-90s, single coils. And it's next-level with stacked on my J Rockett Silver Archer boost.
I did indeed. It was my fav ODR type of pedal until I tried Norland. I say the mid knob is worth it, literally takes you from Nashville to Texas with a twist of the knob. Shanks was pretty, Norland does the job
To my ears, the Wampler Belle OD sounds better than the original ODR-1. It has a much better shaped low end. And I'm a sucker for a well shaped low end.
very apt scheduling Dan & Mick (on purpose of course 😉) as the 'Nobel "Peace" prize' was awarded this very morning .... great that TPS got the Nobel BC 'sounds' prize too!
Great show D&M. You leggends taught me about pedals in the last couple of years, gave me enough insight to realise the ODR was a great pedal and it now it sits next to my Timmy. Both go into a mid-pushed Blackstar Artist.
I’ve been using my Vemuram ODS-1 combined with the Dane and other various TS-ish circuits and it is one of my favorite combos. Was so fun seeing you guys rip into it with those two.
Thanks for the tunes gents! ODR1 sounded great on the LP into the AC15, and thanks for using the AC15 in your shows. I love hearing the Matchless, and the Two Rock when you bust them out, but I really appreciate you guys playing through middle of the road gear occasionally too. My wallet can only stretch so far haha :D
Not even regarding the wallet just great to hear difference and comparing Shows how wide or narrow some of the gaps can be and how to achieve with our just buying the top of top cause even then you still have to dial in sounds for the most part
Great pedal comparison demo. Very comprehensive and informative. Happy with my ODR-1, and a have lot of fun combining it with a Danelectro Daddy O, and an RC Booster.
Further emphasises the multitude of influences in a rig instrument amp combo and playing style to find an od thats sits right for the individual, a million choices of glorious sounding od’s but finding the right one that works for you now that is the challenge! Great show really interesting cheers lads
The short blurb Dan gave on the ODR-1 was to date, the most informative I've heard..excellent! I'm enjoying you guys very much..informative, thorough, some clean humor, and mutual respect for one another. Thus far, I've heard no foul, off color, inuendos or expletives..truly refreshing!! Please keep it up!
I’ve just got the Ltd Edition ODR-1 in Green Sparkle and I’m so impressed! I’ve got the Wampler Belle which is great, very clever to fit so many features into a mini pedal. Although both sound nearly identical I’m definitely keeping both. I’m hoping to get the Boss BD-2w to replace my old BD-2 as that’s a different beast all together in my opinion.
Most guitar TH-cam channels aim for sub 10 minute videos with ‘5 things you need to know about…’ and have done a full demo of features and conclusion within 10 minutes. Not TPS, they don’t even turn the pedal on until 9:09. That is why we love TPS ❤️. Keep up the great work chaps (and Catherine et al) - great episode!
No idea why you never owned one, but I'm glad you do. :) Learned quite a bit about this pedal, gonna sell my mini ODR-1 and buy the one with the bass cut switch. Thanks.
I'm only halfway through, but this is a great show so far! Echoing what someone else said, I appreciate the times when y'all play through mid priced amps so we can get an idea what it would sound like for us peasants hahah. But I do have a question! I know the green side of the Protein is modeled after the ODR-1. Do you know if the tone control is also designed to mimic the spectrum of the ODR? Or is it just a plain ol tone control?
Fascinating how that Spectrum control works - I've often found that the standard TMB tone stack works in a similar, albeit unintended, way. More treble and/or bass = scooping of mids, more mids = perceived rolloff of extreme highs and lows - and to a certain extent, that's electronically true, not just psychoacoustic. If you've got the first 2 pots, Treble and Bass, dimed, and thus at their maximum resistance against signal running to ground, then pot 3, Mid, will see the minimum possible signal. So Spectrum isn't just clever, it actually mirrors the behavior of many, many Fender/Marshall/Vox-style tone controls in a single pot. Helps explain why the ODR-1 works so well with so many amps!
I have the Mythos Erlking, his take on the Nobels. It's an unbelievable pedal. Shame he stopped making them; apparently they were a pain in the ass to make.
Picked up a Nobels ODR1 based in large part on this demo. Great OD. Makes a dead clean BF sound like a pushed Tweed Deluxe or something in that area. Really do enjoy it. Thanks for the content gents.
If you want an awesome Ibanez Mostortion clone, check out the Karma MTN-10 pedal! I heard about the MTN-10 through Tim Pierce videos, and though I've never had an Ibanez Mostortion, it has great tonal qualities!
So many variables. Amp, guitar, pickups, effect line, style, etc. I’m even sure how each pedal sounds in the room is completely different than what’s heard online. Personally, I’ve never been able to get a satisfying sound out of a TS but so many others have. Really intrigued by the ODR-1. At such a competitive price, I’m gonna have to check it out! On another note, it would be interesting to see a show about how pedals, OD’s especially, sound through IR pedals like the Iridium, BOSS IR-200 & Two Notes. I don’t use an amp in my mix & go straight through to the board from an IR pedal.
I have tried to give the Blues Driver multiple shots on my board and I just cannot jive with it. Always way too bright and aggressive for my guitars and amps, that ODR-1 sounded great! Might need to grab one and give it a shot. Great side by side!
I've never tried it but sounds pretty good Personally new pedals don't have a good track record for me I've got an old TS but a newish Xotic Super Clean boost that is working for me
Yes, the "other green pedal". I've used one for years and prefer it to 808 circuits. It works well with every amp I've owned and is inexpensive. The pedal starter pack, drive edition, should be a TS, BD2, and ODR1.
Man, I love the Wampler Belle and the Blues Driver. Whenever I see a BD on a board I'm like, this is a good sign. The Belle is even better than an ODR-1. Fantastic episode, gentlemen.
Interestingly enough, the Visual Sound Open Road is a clone of the Nobels ODR1 and they can be had relatively cheap on the used market. That being said, pushing an ODR1 with a tube screamer has always been a favourite tone of the Nashville elite and that is exactly what the Truetone (formerly Visual Sound)VSXO does. Among all the very expensive boutique dual drive pedals out there, the VSXO definitely runs under the radar and can be purchased brand new for a third of the cost of its “competitors”. Would love to see Mick and Dan give one a try.
I have an Open Road, and it sounds great with single coils. For buckers, I wish it had a bass cut like the (new) original. I would also like to try the Wampler Belle, which is also off the ODR1 circuit, and has a bass roll off. The bass cut/roll off just makes it more versatile, but what a tone!
Got the VXSO instead of getting on the list for a KOT...does everything I need and has been on my board ever since I got it...just killer with a strat...just got a Wampler Dual Fusion that I need to shoot out against it.
48:39 "You need everything, everything on! Loud is better!" The exact same conclusions when I switch all my od's and fuzz on in just the right combinations - when Dan laughed, I was giddy at exactly the same moment, being brought to the same ‘high’ as they kept adding on the drives, having the exact same feeling. Love this show.
Mainly I noticed the ODR had a certain warmness and low end. I have a tube screamer - I turned the bass all the up on my amp and turned my Tele volume to 10 and pushed the tube settings to between 3 & 4 o’clock. Bridge pick up of course. It sounds nice! The screamer can get a bit wiry and dry sounding I think so turning the bass rounded things off nicely.
Thanks for doing this episode guys and fantastic playing at the end of the video. I bought my ODR1 about about a year and a half ago when Tom Bukovac was recommending them. It's one of the best bits of gear I've ever purchased. It's always on my board, it's always on and it's the perfect complement to my Tele and Deluxe Reverb. Cheers guys!
I went into a music store last weekend for an overdrive. I had it in my head I would walk out with the Bluesdriver or a Klone. I play a Gretsch with Dynasonics into a Vibro Champ. I tried over 20 pedals. I almost bought the Warm Audio ODD. I almost bought the Boss Bluesdriver. I ended up buying the Nobels ODR-1 Basscut you have in this video. To me it sounded the most amp like. You nailed it with even when dirty its got clarity. It was the cleanest dirty.
Many guitar-players are sleeping on: The Barber Gain Changer SR. I am located in NYC (with no lack of choices & options) so I have tried a few. This is not-to-say there aren't many incredible overdrives, but I'd put this-one, on my " Must Try List " - It's going with me to The Grave !!!
Mick, you saying "nothing has any meaning without context" pretty much sums up the philosophy of TPS as I understood over the years. Concepts like pedals don't have a sound of their own because all else also matters; and gear changing the way you play so it not always makes sense to have the same thing played over different stuff for comparison. Yeah deep thinkers you guys with great ears, I love it!!! =D =D =D
The bass cut on the new ODR-1 is a great feature. It sounds killer for an edge of breakup tone on my 68 Princeton RI and on my Two Rock Studio Signature. Don't hesitate to buy one, they are $109.00 US.
Thanks for the great tones! I've been playing almost 50 years (!) and have had many OD pedals in that time. A few years back I saw a review of the ODR MIni and got one. Last year I purchased my first Tubescreamer (believe it or not!) - the TS-9 Mini. I stack the TS into the ODR into either a Princeton or Fillmore 50. The combination of the 2 pedals is the most GLORIOUS sound ever!
You did a video of the vamuran version didn't you? And you did the dual drive Brown Proteïne. (Bluesbreaker and odr-1) So please make another episode with the proteïne and the vamuran and the Nobels and the bluesbreaker. (Maybe the Wampler versions of the Nobels and the bluesbreaker)
Mmh the pedal choice of several top tier studio artists. Mr bukovac and Mr pierce as some of the most notable. Gonna enjoy this, thanks lads. Enjoy the weekend :) and dont forget to be kind to each other, everyone!
ODR1 has that squishy compression to it that reminds me of the way an amp breaks up. I recon there are some cool tones you can get out of it by playing around with mid pushy drive pedals into it/after it (usually at lower to medium gain settings). Love combining it with a Klon. Awesome episode!
Great to see you guys reviewing the ODR-1. I love my original one I purchased in the mid 90's. I sometimes stack it with an original pro co rat pedal and through a 66 deluxe reverb that'll cover just about anything.
I never used an ODR-1, but I am very impressed. With the Strat the TS9 still does a thing, that it can't perfectly do, but in all other cases the ODR-1wins.
Very true...I've got a couple of very nice pedals that need a dark amp like Vox or Marshall Silvertone but I use a Fender style amp so been collecting dust 🤔
@@paulcowart3174 One of the problems of having multiple amps and guitars is trying to nail a good sound on a moving target. When I was in my teens and twenties I had my trusty Les Paul copy a Marshall JCM900 and about three pedals (Wah, boost and echo) and I knew it all inside out and could get any tone I needed...
Nice video guys!! I own and use these three pedals, the BD-2w as a full-time low gain, the ODR-1 with a medium gain, and the TS-9 as a medium/high gain. When I want more boost or gain with any of these three, I turn on the Electro-Harmonix LPB-1. This setup works perfectly with rockabilly, country, and 70's rock'n roll. In the end, I recommend all three for have any complete pedalboard.

I have played with a strat and tube screamer for most of my life, and while I can see that it fattens up the strat, I just have never resonated with it. Finally just replaced it with the ODR1 on my board today and am immediately enthralled.

Do you think the ODR 1 compliment a Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight amp stack?
@@rosskstar I haven't found a guitar-amp combo that does NOT benefit from the ODR-1. JMO.

I’ll have to try this too! I’m just running a rat now into overdriven amps on all my guitars to crush the input. It’d be a cool change

As a ac-15 guy who uses the odr1 and a blues driver. That’s a sound I know well. Side note turn the drive down to the 9 o’clock position and hitting it with a rat is a glorious noise.
I got the Wampler Belle. Its a clone of the Nobels Overdrive, but with some tweaks to make it more versatile. Brilliant pedal.
Great episode, TPS! The Nobels has been my number one fave for 10+ years of live gigs and studio work. Just played 4 sets with it last night with crunchy rhythm and screaming leads. Always musical, inspiring and plays nicely in gain stacks. So happy that you finally found the ODR! Great stuff 👍
My first "boutique" OD was the Guthrie Trapp OD fro JRAD, their interpretation of the ODR. With a strat and clean blackface, it's the perfect bridge PU drive. Great show once again mates!
I was considering one of those, I love the shape of those jrads and haven't tried an odr
@@MrAwesomeSaucesome Mine is the older black one. A bit more gain on tap than the newer ones (I'm told). Keeping the gain below 11oclock is very satisfying. "Chewy" or "saggy" low end, just the right bite up top and wonderfully dynamic. My only gripe was it's a pedal that really sounds best LOUD to push your preamp, similar to how you might setup a klon. With a tele and Deluxe Reverb, it's the prefect drive. With a strat, really need more mids than it can push.
I've had the odr1 for 6 months, and could not be happier. It took several pedals to the pawn shop. Put it with a tumnus deluxe and set both on the lighter gain side, and you have heaven together. As far as the mid hump, I use an mxr 6 band to achieve as needed, usually around +5 to 8 dB on the 400 and 800 bands. Also using a Joyo Am Sound for added bass and light drive as needed.. The remote portion the odr1 is for turning the bass cut on and off with a footswitch btw, so makes setting for humbuckers or single coils on the fly in live settings a breeze. This peddle plays very well with others, has its own sound, and I feel like it's a mildly scooped version of a BD crossed with a TS. Just lovely as always D & M, cheers from KY.
Guys, you have to get ahold of the Nordland ODR-C if you haven’t played one already.. Bloody mint, with a bass cut, mids and multi band compression lift
At a cost...big cost $$$ but yeah, that's his on the side boutique build and does give that extra tweakability.
@@1redgate8 Yeah it’s up there...but I’m a massive believer in “buy once; cry once”. Yes there’s hyper-inflated pedal prices but I have really discovered that you get what you pay for - especially here. Amazing pedal - and I have Kingsley/Vemuran offerings!
Totally agree, but what one needs is different for everyone. Either way, the guy's genius how he did the circuit. Happy I bought into the family - I did initially think it was all just hype...
An old bandmate of mine, very talented frontman/guitarist absolutely swears by this pedal, and didn't suggest but told me to buy one of these when I was starting to rebuild my rig and get back into a band setting. I put my LP through it into a cranked 65' Fender, bridge pickup, and understood immediately. The drive just punches through the mix, it just sings. I don't even like overdrive pedals, I normally boost with an eq, but this thing in front of it just sets the amp on fire. I use the level primarily but the drive, which even though I only like amp gain, still has great character, and I like to occasionally mix some of it in for some Steve Jonesish effects.
odr1 definitely the most underrated pedal. so much better than most drives. so clear and defined, and brightness that isnt harsh at all
Yet has this crunchiness that’s so damn good.
Dan @39:27 “As soon as the ODR went on, I wanted to play music”. DUDE I could instantly feel it was happening!! All the way across the Internet!! At 38:57 when you got on it my foot started tapping at the exact same time! It’s an inspiring pedal for sure in it’s own place 😊
Bukovac says that every time he hears a guitarist disappear in a live mix, it’s always on a Fender guitar. I think that’s the function of TS circuits: sort of a live-gig ‘ass saver’ for Fender guitars into Fender amps. Reversing the scoop.
That said… every time you switch to the ODR, the sound is somehow more ‘charismatic.’ More satisfying and fun to listen to. Wild.
Yeah, when I saw Johnny Marr play with...I forget who, not The Smiths - but anyway, his Strat was the incredible disappearing guitar. The other guy had a 335, totally dominated the Fender.
Strats, not Teles. Bukovac said that about Strats.
If Bukovac said it, it’s true and that is not sarcasm. He is a tone, pedal, guitar and overall music genius. The man can play as fast as anyone about there but chooses to be musical.
Sometimes he’ll throw a fast lick or run but he’s so damn musical and creative it boggles my mind. Man I love Uncle Larry. I always take his advice. He’s definitely someone you can trust having played on something like 600 or more albums. Plus he just has that ear where he can hear something and figure it out.
Never been true for me. In a band context I’m always in my Strat bridge pickup and it cuts perfectly.
YES Stephen Munns. As for Fender backline, the notion that it doesn't cut through a live mix just runs contrary to the over 30years of playing and working with actual pros that I have in me. 🍀ain't talking about the cheapo things they build for bedrooms, but mate, even a bloody Champ will sit proud in a mix. Am astonished to even be having this conversation. As for Strats... Yeah I really have trouble picking Gilmour, Clapton, SRV, Jimi, out of a mix....RIDICULOUS
I AM INSTANTLY SOLD!! THIS IS THE OVER DRIVE PEDAL I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE ODR1 TILL THIS AWESOME VIDEO. THANKS ONCE AGAIN GUYS. IM GOING SHOPPING FOR MY ODR1 ASAP. signed GUITAR WIZARD.. ✌️ LUVS,N,GUITARS...
I bought an odr1 mini 2 month ago and I'm still discovering it. Thank you for this.
Saw the show Friday and was blown away. Ordered an ODR-1 that day and it showed up today. Fantastic with both Strat and LP and stacked into my ZenDrive was glorious! Cheers guys! Another well done show. I really appreciate how well you explain everything with each pedal. Thanks!
Thanks for purchasing our pedal and kind regards from the Nobels team!
I've never been a tube screamer guy... if it was green I avoided it all together.... wow did I assume completely wrong about the ODR-1. I watched this video, and went and bought one. I've plugged it into multiple amps in my collection with multiple different guitars.... I absolutely LOVE the ODR-1!!!! Also very happy I didn't spend the money on the Waza Blues Driver, because it was on my list. The ODR-1 was the exact sound I looking for.
Don't discount the Tube Screamer just because it has been around so long and everyone seems to have one. A Tube Screamer can boost the ODR-1 or the Bllues Driver into the Lead EQ every live guitarist needs badly. To me the Tube screamer is a naturally good EQ curve for lead guitar.
It's very good to hear that from you, guys! I'm waiting my ODR-1 to arrive. Thanks!
I do love the ODR1. It grows on you. The way it reacts like an amp is just great. Particularly if you run it at higher voltages.
You run it at 18v?
@@donwojczynski8640 yes, actually I do. It does make some sort of difference.
This was a revelation. Thanks for using good, well-known, "affordable" amps for this video. I also really enjoyed all the detail: each amp individually, together, neck & bridge pickups, combo of pedals - that all really helped me hear the differences. Okay, I want one now.
Now I've watched some videos on the Wampler Belle and I think that it has some great options even over the ODR-1. Hmmm.... do you two have one of those?
Glad to see the ODR-1 getting some love on TPS. Got mine about 4 years ago for $50 US, this episode should help to drive up the used prices unfortunately. The ODR-1 works great with the Blues driver (also on my board)! Cheers and thanks for the fun episode!
Cheers boys, yet again i have used you as a reference and as a back catalogue for invaluable information. I am now off to my guitar shop to purchase one of the Nobles ODR1 pedals 😊
Brilliant, cheers again.
It's so much fuller and richer than the TS. I'm glad I chose the Nobels when I was searching for dirt. The Blues Driver does stand up to it though. I believe they're peers.
I hear you, but damn if the odr into tube screamer didn't sound fanflippintastic.
The ODR-1 is a pedal that does a decent job at being every kind of ever overdrive there is on the market
I've been using it to push through the mix and I think the frontman is angry at how effective it is.
You guys are so timely. The ODR-1 (pre-bass-cut model) has recently replaced my TubeScreamer on my board. Drive at 1.5, Spectrum at 7 and Level at 4. But for me it requires a GE-7 EQ in front of it to boost 3.2K a hair and cut 200 a smidge. Yeah, the EQ takes up real estate but I like the results. Just enough girth with a hint of overdrive hair. My gear is a Highway-One Tele into an EC Vibrochamp. I'll leave out all the other pedals you two have "suckered" me into... ;-)
As is so often true - the beautifully balanced, smooth ODR-1 sounds a lot better in isolation, but the more aggressive sounding, honkier BD-2 would probably cut better in a band situation.
Just purchased a Nobels, and Wow!! First OD pedal that I can play through my Fender Deluxe Reverb and Marshall Origin 20 Combo amps without needing a boost pedal to sound great with gain. The bass cut is absolutely needed when playing humbuckers with tube amps. But not needed when using fender single coils. This pedal allows you to shape the tone in ways I could never find at this pedal price point -- giving you the ability to find the best dirty rock sounds with all sorts of guitar pickup combinations -- hums, mini hums, p-90s, single coils. And it's next-level with stacked on my J Rockett Silver Archer boost.
Norland ODR-C is a king of ODR type of overdrives. Made by original Nobled designer. Try it
I wholeheartedly agree. I started out with the Nobels and loved it but the Nordland ODR-C really took things into a higher level of love.
Have you played the Shanks ODS1 by Vemuram? It's John Shanks take on the ODR1.
I have too … it’s glorious 😍
I did indeed. It was my fav ODR type of pedal until I tried Norland. I say the mid knob is worth it, literally takes you from Nashville to Texas with a twist of the knob. Shanks was pretty, Norland does the job
@@TheDarinAmes Now they have a CC+
You guys really do a thorough job. Great to finally see/hear a comprehensive demo of the ODR1. Thx
Thanks Jeff!
To my ears, the Wampler Belle OD sounds better than the original ODR-1. It has a much better shaped low end. And I'm a sucker for a well shaped low end.
Big fan of the Wampler Belle, yep
Ain't we all..!
Totally agree! I’ve had both and Belle is superior.
Belle for tweaking the bass and the clipping button
I see what you did there.
I ordered one yesterday in preparation for this episode! Dispatched this morning. Excellent.
Ha! Cooool!
very apt scheduling Dan & Mick (on purpose of course 😉) as the 'Nobel "Peace" prize' was awarded this very morning .... great that TPS got the Nobel BC 'sounds' prize too!
Wow, was it really? Awesome!
Let’s be honest, the Nobel peace prize isn’t worth the praise. They give it to any asshole. Just ask obummer.
Great show D&M.
You leggends taught me about pedals in the last couple of years, gave me enough insight to realise the ODR was a great pedal and it now it sits next to my Timmy. Both go into a mid-pushed Blackstar Artist.
Brilliant romp, can't get enough of the joy from both of you! Now to consider the Wampler Belle...
I’ve been using my Vemuram ODS-1 combined with the Dane and other various TS-ish circuits and it is one of my favorite combos. Was so fun seeing you guys rip into it with those two.
This excellent ( as always) presentation proves that equalization is of paramount importance to any OD or distortion device
Thanks for the tunes gents! ODR1 sounded great on the LP into the AC15, and thanks for using the AC15 in your shows. I love hearing the Matchless, and the Two Rock when you bust them out, but I really appreciate you guys playing through middle of the road gear occasionally too. My wallet can only stretch so far haha :D
Not even regarding the wallet just great to hear difference and comparing
Shows how wide or narrow some of the gaps can be and how to achieve with our just buying the top of top cause even then you still have to dial in sounds for the most part
One hell of educational guitar 🎸 show. Thank you Dan and Mick for the Mojo entertainment. ❤
Spending my lunch break with you guys
Bon apetit!
Great pedal comparison demo. Very comprehensive and informative. Happy with my ODR-1, and a have lot of fun combining it with a Danelectro Daddy O, and an RC Booster.
Further emphasises the multitude of influences in a rig instrument amp combo and playing style to find an od thats sits right for the individual, a million choices of glorious sounding od’s but finding the right one that works for you now that is the challenge! Great show really interesting cheers lads
Totally that Steve!
The short blurb Dan gave on the ODR-1 was to date, the most informative I've heard..excellent! I'm enjoying you guys very much..informative, thorough, some clean humor, and mutual respect for one another. Thus far, I've heard no foul, off color, inuendos or expletives..truly refreshing!! Please keep it up!
Got close there with the “just like my mum” anecdote 🤪
I’ve just got the Ltd Edition ODR-1 in Green Sparkle and I’m so impressed! I’ve got the Wampler Belle which is great, very clever to fit so many features into a mini pedal. Although both sound nearly identical I’m definitely keeping both. I’m hoping to get the Boss BD-2w to replace my old BD-2 as that’s a different beast all together in my opinion.
Thank you very much and kind regards from the Nobels Team
Most guitar TH-cam channels aim for sub 10 minute videos with ‘5 things you need to know about…’ and have done a full demo of features and conclusion within 10 minutes. Not TPS, they don’t even turn the pedal on until 9:09. That is why we love TPS ❤️. Keep up the great work chaps (and Catherine et al) - great episode!
Thank you!
No idea why you never owned one, but I'm glad you do. :)
Learned quite a bit about this pedal, gonna sell my mini ODR-1 and buy the one with the bass cut switch. Thanks.
I'm only halfway through, but this is a great show so far! Echoing what someone else said, I appreciate the times when y'all play through mid priced amps so we can get an idea what it would sound like for us peasants hahah. But I do have a question! I know the green side of the Protein is modeled after the ODR-1. Do you know if the tone control is also designed to mimic the spectrum of the ODR? Or is it just a plain ol tone control?
Not sure, we need to make that video
I was wondering exactly that - how does the Protein's tone knob affect the ODR side!!
Fascinating how that Spectrum control works - I've often found that the standard TMB tone stack works in a similar, albeit unintended, way. More treble and/or bass = scooping of mids, more mids = perceived rolloff of extreme highs and lows - and to a certain extent, that's electronically true, not just psychoacoustic. If you've got the first 2 pots, Treble and Bass, dimed, and thus at their maximum resistance against signal running to ground, then pot 3, Mid, will see the minimum possible signal. So Spectrum isn't just clever, it actually mirrors the behavior of many, many Fender/Marshall/Vox-style tone controls in a single pot. Helps explain why the ODR-1 works so well with so many amps!
I have the Mythos Erlking, his take on the Nobels. It's an unbelievable pedal. Shame he stopped making them; apparently they were a pain in the ass to make.
I wish he'd do another run! I've asked but yeah, he's not keen.
Picked up a Nobels ODR1 based in large part on this demo. Great OD. Makes a dead clean BF sound like a pushed Tweed Deluxe or something in that area. Really do enjoy it. Thanks for the content gents.
I’ve got an original 90s odr-1 , and just bought the nordland. They are both great! Now do the same with the ibanez mostortion
I still regret swapping my Mostortion for some other pedals when i was a teenager in the 90s. Super rare now.
“Before quiet stages were a problem” Lol!! Right on, mate!
If you want an awesome Ibanez Mostortion clone, check out the Karma MTN-10 pedal! I heard about the MTN-10 through Tim Pierce videos, and though I've never had an Ibanez Mostortion, it has great tonal qualities!
@@frankenstein4106 cool. I like the original ;)
@@frankenstein4106
Tim loves that Wampler Belle too.
So many variables. Amp, guitar, pickups, effect line, style, etc. I’m even sure how each pedal sounds in the room is completely different than what’s heard online. Personally, I’ve never been able to get a satisfying sound out of a TS but so many others have. Really intrigued by the ODR-1. At such a competitive price, I’m gonna have to check it out!
On another note, it would be interesting to see a show about how pedals, OD’s especially, sound through IR pedals like the Iridium, BOSS IR-200 & Two Notes. I don’t use an amp in my mix & go straight through to the board from an IR pedal.
I have tried to give the Blues Driver multiple shots on my board and I just cannot jive with it. Always way too bright and aggressive for my guitars and amps, that ODR-1 sounded great! Might need to grab one and give it a shot. Great side by side!
I've never tried it but sounds pretty good Personally new pedals don't have a good track record for me I've got an old TS but a newish Xotic Super Clean boost that is working for me
@@paulcowart3174 Same. Always sounds fizzy to me. Ive bought and returned it twice.
I started using the ODR-S in the early 2000's after I saw Pat Buchanan in Nashville playing one. It has never left my board.
Yes, the "other green pedal". I've used one for years and prefer it to 808 circuits. It works well with every amp I've owned and is inexpensive. The pedal starter pack, drive edition, should be a TS, BD2, and ODR1.
Ahhhh, the look of unbridled joy on your faces at the end with everything on and up was gold. It made me pick up my Tele and turn it up.
Man, I love the Wampler Belle and the Blues Driver. Whenever I see a BD on a board I'm like, this is a good sign. The Belle is even better than an ODR-1. Fantastic episode, gentlemen.
My ODR-1 arrived today. Can’t wait to take it to the gigs this weekend to see if it will be a keeper.
Interestingly enough, the Visual Sound Open Road is a clone of the Nobels ODR1 and they can be had relatively cheap on the used market. That being said, pushing an ODR1 with a tube screamer has always been a favourite tone of the Nashville elite and that is exactly what the Truetone (formerly Visual Sound)VSXO does. Among all the very expensive boutique dual drive pedals out there, the VSXO definitely runs under the radar and can be purchased brand new for a third of the cost of its “competitors”. Would love to see Mick and Dan give one a try.
I have an Open Road, and it sounds great with single coils. For buckers, I wish it had a bass cut like the (new) original. I would also like to try the Wampler Belle, which is also off the ODR1 circuit, and has a bass roll off. The bass cut/roll off just makes it more versatile, but what a tone!
Got the VXSO instead of getting on the list for a KOT...does everything I need and has been on my board ever since I got it...just killer with a strat...just got a Wampler Dual Fusion that I need to shoot out against it.
Love my VSXO!
@@MaPa60 absolutely!! The Open Road side of the VSXO has a bass roll off knob so you can gradually find the sweet spot. Truly a phenomenal pedal
@@kj677 Oh, I gotta check that one out. I did not know the VSXO had an Open Road in it, nor that it has a bass roll off. Tnx!
Well, I have an ODR-1, a BD-2W, and an AC15 so I guess I need a Deluxe Reverb too...
That is such a righteous sound of them all together!
48:39 "You need everything, everything on! Loud is better!" The exact same conclusions when I switch all my od's and fuzz on in just the right combinations - when Dan laughed, I was giddy at exactly the same moment, being brought to the same ‘high’ as they kept adding on the drives, having the exact same feeling. Love this show.
The ODR-1 sounds great when you push a klon style pedal with the treble boosted a bit into it.
My fav too!
they where missing a klon style here
Mainly I noticed the ODR had a certain warmness and low end. I have a tube screamer - I turned the bass all the up on my amp and turned my Tele volume to 10 and pushed the tube settings to between 3 & 4 o’clock. Bridge pick up of course. It sounds nice! The screamer can get a bit wiry and dry sounding I think so turning the bass rounded things off nicely.
I have always had a love for the Blues Driver, Both the Waza and the Keely one. Although the Super Phat Mod (Keeley) is the champ for me.
Thanks for doing this episode guys and fantastic playing at the end of the video. I bought my ODR1 about about a year and a half ago when Tom Bukovac was recommending them. It's one of the best bits of gear I've ever purchased. It's always on my board, it's always on and it's the perfect complement to my Tele and Deluxe Reverb. Cheers guys!
OMG... I got a pedal well before Dan and Mick did. Can this be a dream? It's a great pedal. I will try stacking it soon.
I went into a music store last weekend for an overdrive. I had it in my head I would walk out with the Bluesdriver or a Klone. I play a Gretsch with Dynasonics into a Vibro Champ. I tried over 20 pedals. I almost bought the Warm Audio ODD. I almost bought the Boss Bluesdriver. I ended up buying the Nobels ODR-1 Basscut you have in this video. To me it sounded the most amp like. You nailed it with even when dirty its got clarity. It was the cleanest dirty.
Many guitar-players are sleeping on: The Barber Gain Changer SR. I am located in NYC (with no lack of choices & options) so I have tried a few. This is not-to-say there aren't many incredible overdrives, but I'd put this-one, on my " Must Try List " - It's going with me to The Grave !!!
I like to mid-gain drive the amp with the ODR1, then kick in the Tube Screamer with little gain as a mid-hump boost instead. Try it!
Cool...I had been running my TS first after the guitar for years but recently tried my Xotic Clean boost first and loving it
Well this explains why I love the sound of my Wampler Belle (ODR-1 clone with extra sauce) so much... Great video y'all.
An OD with bass puts some useful variety in the dirt dept. For me it’s the Boss OD3.
Agreed. I bought the Tumnus Deluxe for this reason specifically. I can adjust the mids, bass and treble.
@@ico7909 I was actually talking about an OD for guitar that maintains some bass in the sound. Not familiar with ODs for bass guitar.
I ❤ your long and informative videos. Awesome stuff ! Thank you for all you do for us lowly guitarist. Blues On....💙
The BD2 still has the more natural sound to my ears. My favorite of the three for sure.
Mick, you saying "nothing has any meaning without context" pretty much sums up the philosophy of TPS as I understood over the years. Concepts like pedals don't have a sound of their own because all else also matters; and gear changing the way you play so it not always makes sense to have the same thing played over different stuff for comparison. Yeah deep thinkers you guys with great ears, I love it!!! =D =D =D
Started the show today while cooking breakfast for my son…thought David Grissom was there…nice playing Mick.
That must have been some loud cooking! Ha. CHeers!
🤣🤣🤣
@@ThatPedalShow Nope - had my headphones on…you two sounded really awesome today. Thanks for a great show!
The bass cut on the new ODR-1 is a great feature. It sounds killer for an edge of breakup tone on my 68 Princeton RI and on my Two Rock Studio Signature. Don't hesitate to buy one, they are $109.00 US.
you don't know
Another perfect lunchtime length episode! Happy TPSday everyone!
Where are you that it’s lunchtime?
UK
@@user-et2fj8xm5l This is an internet
@@raybrown1725 Hey Ray take a joke
Finally... An episode that doesn't cost me anything! I already have all of these. Great show guys.
Have you tried stacking multiples of each?
Same here, also for the amps, but still need a few more guitars 😂
Ditto!! Apart from the amps
Thanks for the great tones! I've been playing almost 50 years (!) and have had many OD pedals in that time. A few years back I saw a review of the ODR MIni and got one. Last year I purchased my first Tubescreamer (believe it or not!) - the TS-9 Mini. I stack the TS into the ODR into either a Princeton or Fillmore 50. The combination of the 2 pedals is the most GLORIOUS sound ever!
You did a video of the vamuran version didn't you? And you did the dual drive Brown Proteïne. (Bluesbreaker and odr-1)
So please make another episode with the proteïne and the vamuran and the Nobels and the bluesbreaker. (Maybe the Wampler versions of the Nobels and the bluesbreaker)
Oh jeez. That's one of The Sounds. Thanks! :)
Mmh the pedal choice of several top tier studio artists. Mr bukovac and Mr pierce as some of the most notable. Gonna enjoy this, thanks lads. Enjoy the weekend :) and dont forget to be kind to each other, everyone!
Yep, Thomas. I agree with every word. Peace, brother.
ODR1 has that squishy compression to it that reminds me of the way an amp breaks up. I recon there are some cool tones you can get out of it by playing around with mid pushy drive pedals into it/after it (usually at lower to medium gain settings). Love combining it with a Klon. Awesome episode!
They went ODR into TS at the end. I approved.
Your doctor mentioning affecting your "bottom end" using "digital technology" really makes you pray he's just a pedal nerd, as well!
Great to see you guys reviewing the ODR-1. I love my original one I purchased in the mid 90's. I sometimes stack it with an original pro co rat pedal and through a 66 deluxe reverb that'll cover just about anything.
Great combination!
I never used an ODR-1, but I am very impressed. With the Strat the TS9 still does a thing, that it can't perfectly do, but in all other cases the ODR-1wins.
Yes I prefer the TS
Just lovely. What a pedal! No wonder Uncle Larry pushed it all over Nashville! Thanks, lads!
It's so highly dependent on the guitar and amp you use - one minute I prefer the ODR, next minute the BD...
Very true...I've got a couple of very nice pedals that need a dark amp like Vox or Marshall Silvertone but I use a Fender style amp so been collecting dust 🤔
@@paulcowart3174 One of the problems of having multiple amps and guitars is trying to nail a good sound on a moving target. When I was in my teens and twenties I had my trusty Les Paul copy a Marshall JCM900 and about three pedals (Wah, boost and echo) and I knew it all inside out and could get any tone I needed...
Nice video guys!! I own and use these three pedals, the BD-2w as a full-time low gain, the ODR-1 with a medium gain, and the TS-9 as a medium/high gain. When I want more boost or gain with any of these three, I turn on the Electro-Harmonix LPB-1. This setup works perfectly with rockabilly, country, and 70's rock'n roll. In the end, I recommend all three for have any complete pedalboard.
The 335 and Tele in E flat are such a glorious combo to start with. Fantastic playing gentlemen
Thank you!
Yep, Mick should sell all his other guitars.....
Are you on drugs? Ha! That said, if I could absolutely only have one, it would probably have to be a 335. Or a Strat. Hmmmmm.
