This is a hand signed and painted John Landgraff Dynamic Overdrive Pedal #11 made for me on 5/27/2000 in my hometown of Pensacola, Florida. John’s pedals became quite famous and sought after in the guitar world. He has since passed away and was a kind and gentle soul. He worked on and built amps and pedals out of Blue Angel Music and kept me dialed in for many years on the gulf coast. I didn’t move to Music City until 2 years later. I first heard about the Don Kelley band at the Blues Angel Music store in Pcola and that led to me searching them out at Roberts Western World when I moved here in 2002. The rest is history. I’ve misplaced this pedal a few times and luckily always got it back. It’s special to me for many reasons. It’s made by an old friend, it sounds amazing, it’s very rare and worth a ton in Japan! I’m so glad my buddy, Greg Voros, found it in a guitar case today. PS: That’s all the stuff that came in the box with the pedal. The adventure continues! 😎🎶🤘

In an Instagram post from April 11th, 2025, guitarist Guthrie Trapp confirmed his use of the Nobels ODR-1 Plus 10th Anniversary Natural Overdrive, specifically a rehoused version. Trapp stated, "Out of all the overdrives I’ve tried, this one sounds the best to me. It also has the boost which is awesome. Xact Tone Solutions can rehouse it and add a proper switch for the boost. That’s the black unmarked box with 3 knobs and two switches you might have seen me use. It has to be the 10th Anniversary model though."
