ODR-1 BC
Natural Overdrive
Over the past few decades, many internationally renowned top musicians have chosen the ODR-1 Natural Overdrive, from Jerry Donahue to Tom Bukovac, Guthrie Trapp, Carl Verheyen, John Shanks, Tim Pierce, Robbie McIntosh, Clem Clempson, Micky Moody, and many others. All single-coil guitarists, most humbucker players, and even bassists love the clarity and versatility of the ODR-1’s full sound. However, some heavy humbucker players asked for the option to slightly attenuate the sub-bass. And we’ve made that happen!
UNDER THE HOOD….
The ODR-1 BC now features a bass-cut switch under the battery cover, allowing you to choose between the original ODR-1 sound or a slightly reduced sub-bass.
Operation is now possible with 9V–18V DC for more headroom (if desired). Additionally, the knob pointers are now glow-in-the-dark (GitD), which makes operation easier.
The ODR-1 has become a favorite among professionals, especially session and studio guitarists, as the pedal responds very sensitively to the guitar’s volume knob, offering lively tonal variations while playing. The wide-range Spectrum tone control boosts both bass and treble simultaneously when turned clockwise. The mids are altered only slightly. This guarantees a transparent, warm tone in every position.
