NEW NOBELS PEDALS

The three new Nobels effects pedals, including the ODR-1X, ODR-mini2 and DEL-mini, offer an exciting addition for musicians looking for high-quality sound tools.

The ODR-1X is an extended version of the popular ODR-1 and offers a warm, dynamic overdrive sound that is ideal for various styles of music, including hard rock. With improved sound quality and additional customisation options, it allows players to create their own individual sound.

The ODR-mini2 is the compact version that offers the same great sound characteristics in a handy format. It’s perfect for pedalboards with limited space but still offers the flexibility that musicians need.

The DEL-mini, on the other hand, is a versatile delay pedal that offers a variety of delay options, from short, analogue echoes to longer, atmospheric sounds. It is easy to use and allows the player to refine their sound with ease.

Now available in your favourite Nobels shop!

Tommy Emmanuel – ODR-1 30th Anniversary

At the Guitar Summit 2024, we had the opportunity to present a golden Nobels ODR-1 30th Anniversary Pedal to Tommy Emmanuel. Incidentally, Tommy is already a long-time user of the ODR-1, but he had not yet tried out the anniversary model.

As he was under stress, he wanted to test it at his leisure.

Here is his comment: ‘Nice to see you in Mannheim recently. MANY thanks for the new 30th Anniversary ODR 1 …. What a great pedal. I’m amazed at how much tone I can achieve while still getting plenty of grit, growl and dirt!!! I think this is your best pedal ever. I wish you good health, good business and lots of fun. Thanks again for your kindness! Rock on! Tommy’

Of course we are very happy about that. If you have the opportunity to see Tommy Emmanuel live…. go there! It’s an incredible experience.
