Founded in 1983 by Bernhard Kurzke, Nobels started out as a small company with big ambitions: great sounds, clever ideas, and fair prices. Since then, Nobels has pursued a clear motto: “No fashion! Just straight, high standards with that little extra for the musician!”
The Natural Overdrive ODR-1, first introduced in 1993, made Nobels particularly well known in studio circles. Its open, natural sound established itself as the antithesis to the “nasal” overdrives that were widespread at the time. Musicians such as Gary Moore, Bryan Adams, and Mark Knopfler appreciated this character and integrated the effect into their setups.
At the same time, Nobels constantly worked on improvements: reissues, bass cut switches, new housings, true bypass options, glow-in-the-dark knobs—always with the goal of combining the best in sound, operation, and reliability.
The ODR-1 is the classic among Nobels pedals and is available in different versions. But other effects such as the CHO-Mini Stereo Chorus or the DEL-Mini Delay also combine tradition with innovation in Nobels‘ typical way.
At Nobels, it‘s not fashion that counts, but substance: big names and session pros swear by the character, versatility, and attention to detail. Not least because Nobels has consistently listened and developed over many years. Whether it‘s the ODR-1 or the new mini pedals, when you choose Nobels, you get first-class effects with history, maturity, and state-of-the-art convenience.
