Nobels ODR-MINI What's The Hype?!

[@acurabby]

Just the right amount of rawness that is evenly so without struggling wasting time to dial in the tone and saturation you've been looking for. My pedal since it came out.🌋

[@MrBostechman]

My go to OD pedal. Around 4:20 is the sweet spot if you want to roll off the volume to clean it up. I run a compressor in front to give it some more clarity, snap, and evenness. Not my only OD but this one cuts through the best. Different when you play with the other instruments in the mix and this one dos the trick. A studio session essential. If you run an EQ in the FX loop of the amp it’ll give it even more boost. But through cranked tube is where this thing really shines. Love your tone man.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you! Never thought of running an EQ in the FX loop 🤔

[@traviscrown9189]

It’s the sound. It’s the sound ive needed. Love the nobles!!

[@davidbakerscuba]

Wow Buddy, there are a lot of great tones in this pedal.

[@ulisescerrato8758]

I have the bigger one and I love it. It’s my favorite drive. I pair it Snouse Blackbox 2 . Those two are unbeatable.

[@HudsonCustomGuitars]

Dude, you're a breath of fresh air in this genre..."1st World Problems!" LOL Preach it, brother! Thank you for the insightful review, the excellent chops, but most of all, for the contagious smile you slapped on my pie-hole. Keep it loose & don't change a thing

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad people enjoy these videos as much as I enjoy making them. It really encourages me to keep going

[@wilmer33086]

I’m actually at work lol watching this video while working. Keeping up with TUESDAYS are for the BLUES. Buddy Blues!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸👍👍

[@frankiecalabro2617]

Buddy I bought one based on this review!!! You’re my numerous uno gear guy!!! It sounds awesome!!!!

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you!! Enjoy it!

[@blairmichaelhogan4502]

Just found your channel after randomly buying a used ODR mini - so of course I had to watch a few video KZbin vids (even though I’ve owned the full sized version for years and know exactly how it sounds). I’m sure glad I did though! Absolutely fantastic playing…instant sub.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks so much!! Welcome aboard the videos get weirder and weirder every week

[@thepedalcouple]

This was Musician's Friend Stupid Deal a couple of days ago and after listening to it on this this video we decided to buy it. Great playing Buddy!

[@ssm445]

12:46 a tube screamer before the nobels is really great, after it not so much (the pedal at the end of the chain is coloring the most, and you want that to be the nobels!)

[@BuddyBlues]

Will try it! Thank you! Honestly nobels before or after anything is a huge win haha

[@BuddyBlues]

I don't own a fuzz face but I have several fuzzes that are based on a fuzz face and it sounds really really great before an odr1. You can never go wrong

[@pauljude]

Smooth and well done video my friend. I just bought one so if I don't like it.... I will... I'll......, probably keep it anyways bc I can always change my mind in the future lol. Seriously, I love the tones you're getting man. Dig the channel 🤘

[@ihaveaproblem3153]

I have my mini green pedal coming in the mail, i feel it’s not going to replace a pedal I have because it’s pretty different, so it’s a pedal to keep around for a different sound, you just need this pedal to complete the overdrive pallet. Timmy, OCD, klon, king of tone, tube screamer (Bonsai) and rat have all lived or living on my board

[@BuddyBlues]

Exactly. It gets confused a lot with other od's because of its color but it really is in a league of its own

[@ihaveaproblem3153]

@@BuddyBlues yeah I played with it last night, it’s not great for chords because of the amount bass it gets muffled, soloing it’s pretty interesting, I paired it with a klon and I had so much sustain, I only have a katana at home, I’m going to run it into a cranked old school Marshall and music man on Friday and see what it’s like.

[@IamtheActionman]

Awesome demo, thanks dude.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank YOU!

[@megarxidas17]

Enjoy watching you play

[@wspeed657]

I agree with your gain statement. It seems that after 11 o'clock the gain gets raspy. But what do I know, I am just hearing it through youtubeland. It sounds fantastic on the lower gain settings. Nice playing too.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you! The odr pushing other things sounds awesome. The high gain on it is meh, for me at least

[@NoJusticeNoJeeps]

Running at 18v helps tighten things up

[@mantashaft]

Amazing array of tones you got there

[@tomcoryell]

Nice playing Buddy!

[@waterhead001]

Reminds me of a BB Preamp. I like it.

[@HammerFang]

It sounds great. Nice range of sounds. Thanks for this vid!

[@ricky4214]

i need to buy a mini od and i am so torn between this and the mxr timmy, thanks for the demo

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

The sleeper OD pedal that few know about is the Dan electro Daddy-O

[@dandavidson9030]

Great Demo 👍

[@physiciansassist1]

Someone has been practicing their Albert Collins kicks😂.. Seems like when you roll spectrum knob back, the mids become more pronounced. Which is opposite of a ts

[@Vin123man]

Enjoyed the video and subscribed. I’ve been using the mini after the wampler tumnus. Also use a boost before the tumnus for solo drive or add the nobels mini which is after the tumnus for solo drive. Any thoughts?

[@maddi917212]

You are so funny! Great sound, love your videos!!

[@danstringer7610]

Enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@johnhubbs]

I own a full size and a Mini, i might actually like the mini slightly better? I have mine set with low gain just after my Klone. To my ears they work well together.

[@austinfailz]

What’s the difference? I mean besides form factor. I kind of want one to pair with my TS Mini or Mooer OCD clone.

[@johnhubbs]

@@austinfailz I would say that the mini seems to have a little more low end and maybe just a touch less headroom if you want to have a drive before it. The bass-cut on the larger one is a nice option if your sound become too muddled. That being said I am still happy using either one.

[@stevebeaudoin7234]

Would like to hear it with a himbucker

[@CSLBRK]

Hey Buddy, you should have yourself a dream built guitar by warmoth and review it to us! Your channel is as great as your playing, witch is GREAT! Now take that GREAT and make it in bigger writing and put some fireworks around it!

[@RussC123]

I know this is an old video but what’s your favorite setting on this pedal when playing on the Strat bridge pickup?

[@BuddyBlues]

Level about unity with the clean guitar tone, I don’t like a noticeable volume jump on stage. Gain about 2 oclock, and tone around the 11 oclock mark. Ultimate sweetness

[@RussC123]

@@BuddyBlues Agreed! That’s spot-on to what I like with my tele. I’m going to try some of the other configurations you demo’d that I hadn’t tried before.. some definitely caught my attention

[@Herman138]

Hi,how do rate this pedal?from each corner guys says, its a great one,similar to the wampler Belle..thanks..

[@mykalgambullmusic5520]

I am on the 🚽 Good review 👍

[@xenod1066]

Awesome!

[@nunoharris]

Hi. Is this pedal more dirty than the Tube Screamer? Thanks

[@BuddyBlues]

Hello! About the same amount of gain but a little grittier I think. They’re also not similar pedals

[@sbadali1]

I had the full size ODR-1 and subsequently sold it on Reverb. It did not stand out compared to my other pedals and it did not make my Fender Princeton (or my other pedals) sound better. I never used it.

[@heyheymymind1939]

What overdrive pedal suits well to a Princeton?

[@CoenBijpost]

Definitely not a tubescreamer clone. The overlooked original. The green color fools everyone.

[@stanesposito2664]

Bought one and returned it after one day. I didn't get It to work for my set up and bought the Wampler Pantheon which I dig.

[@BuddyBlues]

Yeah man.. honestly not sure this will go on any of my pedal boards, I enjoyed it quite a bit in the low gain settings, but not in the high gain stuff

[@jaltsch1]

Same here. I love many of the ODR-1 devotees so I thought I'd give the mini a try, didn't do anything for me...but they all have originals, pro modded, etc. I subsequently picked up a used J Rockett GTO, which is based on an ODR, and I love it.

[@RulgertGhostalker]

with the spectrum more ccw, it sounds more tube sreamerish to me .... i don't know how your not hearing that, it sounds klon meets screamer to me.. i Doesn't sound like either Exactly, but more like klon with spectrum noon and ccw a little ways, then more screamer further ccw ... where going cw of noon it's more it's own thing.

[@ParFive]

I liked the way mine sounded just fine. Until it just stopped working. Pfft! Gone. No sound. I try to avoid chinese made pedals now. I had a Mooer pedal that just quit like that also. Buy American! Boutique builders need and deserve your support.
