DEMO Nobleman- C2C nobelium

[Guardians of the analog]

Build Rating

5.00 star(s)

When @vigilante398 announced this project I knew I wanted to build it but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on it. I tried to talk myself out of it but ultimately it served a purpose and will get used. My first tube pedal project that I didn't feel was just a gimmick.

The nobelium is the noble tube bass preamp/di for anyone whose been living under a rock. I really nice clean interpretation of your bass. The tubes give it a nice warmth and depth that my sludgehammer did not have. The EQ is very responsive and powerful in sculpting your tone. And, it takes pedals extremely well.

It was a simple build with a low parts count but costly build with the transformer. I ended up going with the LBA transformer because hand wound. I used a couple ECC82s from my stash of tubes, these were in an amp I no longer have so bonus. For my design I went with the nobleman Baron Zemo. Super thrilled with how the build turned out. Simply love playing through this. For the sound clip I showed compression and drive, perhaps another clip with modulation is coming.

She's a beaut. Art is always on point. Nice job. Sounds great too. I hope to hear a clip with modulation for sure.

@Guardians of the analog gave me a sneak preview of that clip and I immediately went to order one. Freaking out of stock. WTF @vigilante398 ???

Oh weird, I knew stock was getting low but didn't realize I had under-stocked the website. I still have 2 or 3 boards on hand and more on order, just added them to stock.

thanks, I'll have to throw some flanger and phaser at it with dirt

I'm surprised you didn't have this built already

Rightfully named too after watching that demo…im not a big bass player but I can see why people would like this.

The cleans this can get is kind of shall I say perfect…really accentuates the bass in a nice why. Awesome demo too!

Turned out !

The moment of lust and covetousness has passed. I'm all about my new Strat at the moment......

Not like the Nobelium project is going anywhere. New Strats are good too.

Down to 1 in stock, but should have 50 more in about a week, @MichaelW will have plenty of chances

I can't believe I missed this one - what an awesome build!

I also appreciate the sound sample - we need more demos! This is probably the pedal I am most excited about right now and I haven't even gotten started on it yet. I have the transformer (LB) but still need the tubes and hv caps. Hopefully this weekend I can start populating the board and find out what else I'm missing (there's always that random resistor), but at the end of the day I know that no matter what I'm not going to get everything in my first orders

 

[Feral Feline]

We should be allowed multiple Imogies 'cause "" wasn't enough, I wanted to add "" as well as a few others not even available.

That's so...




... it hard-core copulates.

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Missed this one somehow. Absolutely killer. Sounds incredible— might be a spendy build, but compared to the other options it’s well worth it, it seems!

 

[Audandash]

Love the purple! Great build. I am sure you are aware as well but in the future if you wanted to change the leds to a more purple (because why not, lol) I have found the tayda clear pink leds have more of a violet tint vs a pink color.
