Hi all
Thinking of picking up an ODR-1 again. Had a silver one ages ago and even an original green one which I sold for a decent profit even before prices went mad (it was no better than the silver, sounded identical!!)
Anyway, the ODR-1 with the bass cut appeals but am now aware of loads of other options out there.
Not really interested in the mini nor the VS Open Road (wasn't as good as my old silver one, side by side - less defined, less gain, mushier) but the new Wampler Belle and Way Huge STO in particular are the two that look high quality without being massively more expensive than the Nobels. Any other options?
Honestly, the way huge tops the list coz it'll be well built, full size and a proper relay bypass (if it's like others?) but interested in others' thoughts.
Fyi I'm keen on the higher (i.e. medium) gain sounds - it's got a bit of RAT in there when wound up, really miss that part of its tone!

That's what I've heard too. Been thinking about ordering one, but think I want to go Greer Soma 63 for my next drive....
The internal trim pot settings are mostly very subtle.
Has the same sound but treble, mid and bass controls and more gain (if you need it)
They were always cheaper than the odr-1 as well
I have tried one of these in the past, certainly gainier and nice in its own right. Perhaps I need both??
I didn't find the subtle tonal variations offered by the Wampler enough to warrant the significant price difference.
I had the non-bass cut ODR-1 reissue. It could be that overdrive pedal that you could use for virtually any style, but it simply has too much low end.
