I only take one star off the "features" because I can see why the bigger brother version has the bass cut switch. It has a thump in the low end that is hard to shake off.

I put a tubescreamer in front (low gain, level and tone at about 1 o'clock) to cut said bass and push the mids to the front.

The result is a beautiful thick tone, full of harmonics and with a very amp-like response. It cleans up well in response to the volume knob. It palm mutes nicely (some of the more "fuzz" like distortion/overdrives won't do that).

"Natural" overdrive is the perfect name for it, it's like having tube amp overdrive in your pocket.

Good choice for single coils
Serhat. 22.06.2024
Positive:
I am using Tele with single coils beside my Blues Junior 3, and I use this pedal to get a better and non-scratchy high gain sound. The result is very good. Blues Junior 3 owners know that if you stack overdrive pedals, then the amp sound gets very scratchy because of the amp speaker (which is actually designed for clean sounds :')

BUT, if you put Nobels after a tube screamer (guitar -> TS -> Nobels -> BJ3) that gives you a huge good hard rock sound. Strong low ends of this pedal make your bridge single coil as if it is humbucker, at the same time pedal cuts very high ends which eliminates scratchy distortion sound.

So, in my case that pedal works very good with my amp speaker to get a good high gain sound.

And the Spectrum knob is very versatile and unique to shape your sound for different genres, to be honest it is better than other pedals' "Tone" knobs. You need to see some videos which shows freq. change while rolling this knob.

Negative:
Strength is the weakness at the same time. Strong low ends are not good for neck position. Bigger version of this pedal has bass-cut feature which makes it better than mini version.

And the cheap quality knobs, I did not like them.

Amazing overdrive!
Viktorlab 16.03.2022
I think this is exceptionally versatile overdrive pedal, It can go from light crunch to nice medium thick overdrive, there is no bad setting on it.
I tried it with strat and tele through vox ac style amp and just sounds amazing. Build quality is decent taking in consideration the price tag.
It will definitely stay on my board.

What a disappointment
Mombasaflash 26.02.2022
The Nobels ODR-1 is a legend. This mini version is a disappointment. It is built well but it produces booming bass and the only way to reduce it is to settle for harsh treble instead.
