Description
The Nobels ODR-1BC is a legendary analog overdrive pedal prized by studio guitarists and touring professionals for nearly 30 years. Known for its natural, amp-like overdrive, it delivers warm, dynamic, and highly responsive tube-style crunch that cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob.
The updated BC (Bass Cut) version addresses the most common request from players by adding an internal bass-cut switch (easily accessible under the battery cover) to tame low-end mud — especially useful with humbuckers or in bigger rigs. It also supports 9V–18V operation for extra headroom and features glow-in-the-dark knob markings for easy visibility on stage.
Features
- Natural, transparent analog overdrive with excellent dynamic response
- Unique Spectrum control (simultaneously boosts/cuts bass and treble while leaving mids intact)
- Bass Cut switch for tighter low end (new on BC model)
- Runs on 9V to 18V for increased headroom
- Glow-in-the-Dark knob pointers
- Remote jack for momentary or latching switching
- Buffered bypass with low current draw
- Solid metal housing with overhead battery compartment
Ideal for blues, rock, and roots players seeking a versatile “always-on” overdrive or a transparent boost for solos, the ODR-1BC is often called one of the best-kept secrets in the pedal world.
