Nobels od 1......any thoughts ,comments?

Thought I would love it ........turns out to be very heavy-handed , smooth in an undefined way (you don't hear string to string) and also a bit fizzy from all but the very lowest settings ...........Am I missing something ?

Is it brand new? I bought one second hand and there was an issue with it and I needed to get it repaired.

Once sorted, it sounded pretty damn good

Surprised you find it fizzy. It's great for fattening up a bridge pickup. Try it on a nocaster bridge pup with gain setup halfway perhaps.

No, probably not.

I don't like them either, to me they sound bland and characterless - not positively awful, but I've never understood the hype about them.

Is it a green one or a silver one?

Apparently on some of the silver ones the level and gain pots are the wrong way round and need to be swapped.

Full size or mini? I was thinking of getting a new mini ODR1.

I got one and returned it as I found it very bassy and not as pleasing as all the reports

Mini......massively popular in Nashville although I can't see the fuss myself......not bad but not special 
I think it probably works well with Tele and Strat to be fair but not Humbuckers

It's a Tele I usually use it with, haven't really tried it with humbuckers

Awesome pedals if a little bass heavy at times. 
Never tried a mini but the older ones are great.

Too much bass for me. Made heavier gain tones unusable.

As mentioned, lots of bass! Great for pushing a Marshall further into overdrive I found as the bass never got out of hand and the Marshalls distinctive EQ was allowed to peak through. Never got the ‘nashville’ tele users’ love for it with clean amps though - it’s not a tube screamer.  

The PaulC Timmy can tread similar ground and sound better doing it as well as dozens of other sounds.

my feelings exactly

They sound great with Tele or Strat bridge single coils.  Obviously tele’s are popular in Nashville hence the reason for their popularity also.

The mini is supposed to sound a bit different as well.  I really like my green reissue, a different flavour to a timmy, sounds fatter with more gain, lass versatile but magic for tele bridge lead playing.
