nobels

Although German pedal brand Nobels is well-known for its signature overdrive ODR-1, hardly anyone is aware that – at some point in the ’90s – the company released a line of pedals including several modulation effects and even a delay. The new Nobels DEL-mini represents a welcome return of this legendary pedal brand in the realm of non-gain-related effects.

This digital pedal’s layout, with its three knobs for Time (also adjustable via Tap Tempo), Feedback, and Mix and a 3-way Mode switch, is as straightforward as it can get. At the same time, the selection of algorithms doesn’t take risks or need any explanation: Tape, Analog, and Digital.

Hence, this is a pedal whose destiny resides in how it sounds, and the YouTubers who have posted about it so far have very good things to say about it, in particular in consideration of its extremely affordable $99/£99 price tag.
