Nobels ODR-B Bass Overdrive

December, 2006

Germany’s Nobels takes the familiar Boss-like stompbox format and adds a few innovative features, like a topside flip-up battery door and a groovy remote activating jack for triggering the effect with an external switch.


Its construction was average; I don’t expect that it would break easily, but its small plastic knobs and plastic jacks aren’t exactly confidence inspiring. Its distortion tone is pretty run-of-the-mill, although the 3-band EQ goes a long way toward massaging intrigue out of the fuzz sounds. Drive works as expected, upping the attack ante and bringing increased color and texture. The low price is an attractant, while the no-frills distorted tones get the job done.
