Nobels ODR-Mini 2 Overdrive Pedal Overview
The Nobels ODR-mini 2 represents the next generation of Nobels’ popular compact overdrive pedal, offering professional-level performance in a highly portable form. Building on the legacy of the iconic ODR-1, this mini pedal is designed for guitarists who want the classic, natural overdrive sound in a smaller, more convenient package, with new features that make it even more versatile.
Key Features and Upgrades:
Variable Bass Cut: One of the most significant additions to the ODR-mini 2 is the external bass cut control, which allows players to fine-tune the low-end response in real-time. This feature helps prevent muddiness and makes the pedal more adaptable across various setups and genres.
Spectrum Tone Control: Just like its larger counterparts, the ODR-mini 2 includes Nobels’ SPECTRUM tone control, a double-filter design that adjusts both bass and treble frequencies simultaneously. With a center detent for neutral settings, this control allows for detailed tone shaping to suit a variety of musical styles, from warm, subtle overdrive to brighter, more aggressive tones.
New Metal Enclosure: The upgraded metal housing improves the pedal’s durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of touring and live performances. The sleek and sturdy design adds to its overall professional feel.
True Bypass: Unlike some mini pedals that compromise signal integrity, the ODR-mini 2 offers true bypass switching, which ensures that your tone remains pure and unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
Glow in the Dark Knobs and Mounty-P Mounting Plates: Practical touches like glow-in-the-dark knob pointers make adjustments easier in dark environments, while the integrated Mounty-P plates provide secure attachment to pedalboards without the need for extra Velcro or other adhesives.
Technical Specs:
- Operates on 9V DC (standard) or 18V for increased headroom and dynamic range.
- The current draw is low, at approximately 12 mA, making it highly power-efficient.
- Compact and pedalboard-friendly design with quick attachment via the integrated mounting plates.
