The Nashville Staple in a Small-sized Enclosure
The Nobels ODR-Mini packs the company's legendary natural-sounding dirt box into a small, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. There's nothing small about this stompbox's sound, however. It faithfully delivers the flexible range of tones that made its full-sized predecessor a cult classic among Nashville session players. Boasting a sound somewhere between the mythical transparent overdrive and the ubiquitous mid-forward green pedal, the ODR-Mini boasts a simple 3-knob control set. Drive and Level are self-explanatory; however, the mid-detented Spectrum knob is something special. Rather than operating as a typical tone control, Spectrum simultaneously dials in your bass and treble without affecting your mids. This gives you extremely transparent results, and it complements any amp you plug the pedal into. You also get true-bypass switching, glow-in-the-dark knobs, and 18-volt power compatibility. Whether you're aiming for light harmonic coloration, blues-like grit, or hard-rock crunch, the ODR-Mini is ready and raring to go.

Powerful 3-knob control set
The ODR-Mini features a trio of knobs: Drive, Spectrum, and Level. Like other dirt boxes, Drive controls the amount of saturation — the ODR-Mini is capable of everything from subtle coloration to tube-ish grit to muscular crunch. Level adjusts the output of the pedal. This is the knob you'd use to goose your amp. The mid-detented Spectrum knob it where the magic lies: this control enables you to cut or boost your bass and treble — simultaneously. Want to take your single-coil-equipped guitar from chickin'-pickin' clean into humbucker-esque fatness? Cranking this knob will do it. Best of all, the Spectrum control leaves your midrange untouched to maintain a natural, transparent sound. The guitarists here at Sweetwater also value this pedal's glow-in-the-dark knobs. The ODR-Mini's versatility lends it to lots of tweaking, and these easy-to-see knobs make doing so in dark studios and on dimly lit stages stress-free.
