Wampler Belle Overdrive

[SubApathy]

Wampler has released the Belle (Nobles ODR-1 based). It's a mini pedal with a cool little clipping button, which is pretty cool.

Wampler has a mini Plexi Drive pedal coming down the line as well...but this Belle sounds pretty great.

This looks really interesting! I’m excited to hear some comparisons to similar circuits.

Mini nobels with bass control sounds great on paper, yes. The sweetwater demo didn't sound very good, tbh, though they typically don't (sorry!). And the copy about tweaks to make it sound less "hi fi" gives me pause. Still definitely thinking about ordering one!

Not much interest in this one, but mini Plexi?! Sign me up for that one. Is the there any rumor on when that is dropping?

 

[Bucksears]

I have to say, if I was going to spring for (just) a Nobels ODR-1 type, this would be it. Bass control is a must, for me, on this circuit.
I totally forgot, though, that half of the Paisley Deluxe is the Underdog Overdrive; the full EQ on that side is a big plus.

I'll be interested to see what features that Mini Plexi brings.

This sounds pretty great. I wish they would consolidate their drive selection a little bit. It’s quite vast!

Being able to tighten the bass on an ODR-1 would be epic.

mini plexidrive sounds interesting!

 

[CaliCaveMan]

I grabbed one as I like the ODR1 with a couple amps I have. We’ll see....

This od looks really interesting

Kudos to Wampler for thinking about us Europeans by getting these to a local dealer. Shipping and customs can be such a hassle these days.

The sweetwater demo didn't sound very good, tbh, though they typically don't (sorry!).

I have bought pedals based on good sounding demos, only to find out that once I plugged them in they sounded like the Sweetwater demo.

 

[Bluesful]

Just me, or is there a weird, grating top-end going on in the Sweetwater demo?

I've been looking for another Nobels type drive to compare with my Rockett Chicken Soup. Would love to try the Nordland but it's a little pricey for me. This might be the ticket.

 

[Grenville]

To Belle or Nobels, that is the question... er, maybe not.

 

[Blix]

If I didn't already have the ODR-C which rules, I'd get one of these.

I'm going with "For Whom the Belle Tolls"

Had to order one because that’s what I do. Buy every ODR-1 clone and variant. This looks awfully similar to the Wampler Claymore, which is the tribute Brian did for our buddy Alex Clay.

The Claymore is indeed a special edition of this pedal.

I hope that it's the same circuit as the Underdog Overdrive. I loved that pedal and regret selling it.
