NAMM 2020: Speak to a lot of Nashville session greats about their favorite overdrive pedal, and plenty will point to one box, the ODR-1 from German brand Nobels - and now that highly lauded stompbox has received a tonal tweak or two.

The new ODR-1BC plays host to two major changes, the first of which is an internal Bass Cut switch to tame low-end, which will prove handy for humbucker players.

The ODR-1BC is available now for £99 (approx $129) - see Nobels for more info.
