Don’t judge it by the cover

A great sounding, versatile trem in a shitty, oversized box, with clumsy controls. The box literally fell apart when I acquired it. First I had to glue back the metal sheet to show the lettering of the cheap plastic controls on the case. Then the pedal still staggered sound when it was switched off, so I had to take it to a tech guy. He said it looked like it had been put together in a hurry, before evacuating a factory, he had to re-solder everything. What I’m left with is a well functioning, and good sounding pedal, with lots of options, but I had to work for it. Output level control is a great addition, unfortunately missing from several trems that suck volume, like Boss TR-2. There’s a high filter that reduces the effect on higher pitch notes when turned up, which I’ve found very useful for fills and sevenths over trem base chords. The pedal is slightly larger and heavier than a Boss pedal, but less sturdy, I believe dropping it on the wrong side with the cheesy pc board mounted knobs would destroy it. Despite of it is being functionally outstanding, it did not make me a fan of Nobels pedals. I only wonder if Nobels “legendary” OD-1 was put together so carelessly, how did it make to be a legend.

"@nobelspedals Just found this on an old old board that was sitting in my basement. Now I just need your overdrive pedal to go with it. I'll pick one up when in in Germany in May."
