Professor’s Notes
The ODR-1(bc) brings the soul of the original—creamy edge-of-breakup tones and smooth overdrive—but adds just enough control to adapt to today’s rigs. It keeps your sound honest while helping it land in the mix exactly where it belongs.

Description
For decades the ODR-1 has earned its place in studios and on stages thanks to its natural overdrive, rich feel and touch sensitivity. Now the ODR-1(bc) (“bc” for Bass-Cut) takes everything players loved and adds a few thoughtful refinements that matter in real rigs.
You get the same signature feel—warm, expressive, amp-like drive that doesn’t steal your tone. But now you also get: a Bass Cut switch on the top panel so you can tame excessive low end mid-gig; support for 9–18 V operation which gives more headroom and better response on hotter rigs; and fun glow-in-the-dark knobs so you can dial tone in without fumbling in the dark. The Spectrum control gives you broad EQ flexibility—whether you’re using single-coils or humbuckers—and the Drive/Level controls keep things intuitive.
What this means for you as a player: if you want a pedal that gives you the classic Nobels character but with tighter low-end control, higher headroom and gig-friendly convenience, the ODR-1(bc) is a smart choice. It doesn’t compromise on musicality, it just gives you more rig-adaptability.
