If like me you like a lot about it but since it is the same territory/function as a MarshallBluesBreaker or even many of the Dumble pedals then the new Nobels ODR mini 2checks all the boxes. It would easily pass a Blindfold Test you would need a handson them all to tell any meaningful difference. It is like an entry level Porsche, if it,smells, looks and tastes like a ....
NOTE: do not buy the mini 1 by accident. If budget is tightthen there is Tone City Nobleman at $60.00 USD
What about the Nordland ODR-C?
ReplyDeleteAll these clones new and improved are corporate. Every couple of years it becomes a fashion when someone often a influential player who discovers a discontinued product. Then all the companies want a piece of the pie and make a clone. They all claim they have a better product. They do not. they have a different product. The stupidest is the Rat. You can buy a real Proco Rat II . It is affordable and literally unchanged and single part in it for decades. They only made 300 of the first one so when someone famous decades ago made a record it was almost never a version one. So version two is indeed the king and the best. Nearly all the clones sweeten the sound, which is beyond stupid. The whole reason a real Rat sounds great is because it is crude and unruly. Why try and turn a Rat into a Klon by sweetening the sound. The Nordland ODR-C is like the Timmy. It is on paper a better pedal just like a titanium violin is better on paper than a Stradivarius.
