This is the new 4-in-1 Overdrive and Boost from Keeley Electronics, the Noble Screamer!

Check out all the technical details here: https://robertkeeley.com/product/noble-screamer-overdrive-and-boost/

This is a dynamic combination of 2 of the most popular overdrive pedals ever: the Nobles ODR-1 and the Ibanez Tube Screamer. By mixing and matching the tone and overdrive characteristics of each of these pedals, there are endless tone combinations!

I resonated a lot more with the "OD" side of the unit, both in tone and drive. I was actually shocked at the amount of difference between the 2 settings, as I thought the ODR-1 and Tubescreamer were much closer to each other in character (I guess not?). The OD side is much more transparent and full-range, and the TS side has that classic mid bump and low and high end cut.

Lots of fun!
