Read a lot of hype about this lil' guy and needed a low gain OD. I got one in the mail today via PGS (fastest shipping I've ever encountered, btw. From Portland to Vermont in 2 days, for free!)

Out of the box -- I got a lemon. First of all, the footpad (it looks like a boss pedal) was not glued down, it seemingly melted the glue and was loose. I placed it where it should be and it seems fine. The metal plate where the knobs are is peeling up from the edge, and is a bit bent. WHAT THE FUCK. $99 pedal you figure they could use some QC.

This thing better sound heavenly or its going back.

ship it back, pgs always takes care of customers, haven't heard a bad thing yet.
Let us know how it sounds, I've only heard a few clips here and there but I've always heard about it.

Interested to see how you like it, I really want one of these.

I'll be doing a demo -- haven't made one in a while and the only ones on youtube are PGS demos.

first of all, send that shit back... and use this code ODR25 to get $25 off the price...this code is good thru 8/29

I have really wanted to play one of these, also that puppy ROX!!!

Shit, man! I used school10 and go $10 off. I emailed PGS, I dunno how I'd get them to change the code I used.

I would tell them that u r extremely disappointed in this products quality and u just want to return it.......... unless they will exchange it and let u use the ODR25 code....... ............for ur hassle of getting a lemon

I had the ODR-S for ages, a few years before everyone went mental for them, so the price was a little more realistic. Dead good pedal, for sure.

Used it pretty extensively at volume with my band last night -- it's just what I needed. Does the low gain overdrive sound really well, I don't think it sounds as good past 8 (drive) or so, but the controls are very interactive, similar to a RAT. Also, tons of volume on tap, it works as a clean boost (or close to clean). I think I'll put together a demo today after I go into to town to get strings.

I have the original gray model. I liked it but eventually the input jack cut out on me and I haven't bothered with trying to fix it.

They sound pretty damn good though

Yeah, unfortunately they are definitely cheaply made.

Yeah, plastic PCB-mounted jacks that aren't fixed to the chassis- super-unreliable. I had to fix both the input and power jacks on mine a few times before both it and I'd had enough.

The original Nobels series were actually the coloured ones like these, the "grey with coloured sticker" ones came second.

Looks like they're making a limited edition ODR-1plus with a boost switch

all metal and shit.

I have this empty metal Nobels case sat at home, want it?

Now I just wonder if they make/made a GAY distortion too?
