I was graced with this a couple weeks ago:
"Hello!
Your page description mentioned you sometimes entertain petition projects. I've struck out in the past with this particular request so I thought I'd take it to the net!
I am a big fan of the Nobels ODR-1 and love the huge crush of bass that pedal provides. I first found this sound in the Browne Protein's right side, but aside from being unwieldy (attached to another circuit, too big), the way that pedal is voiced causes cave-in so I get lost in the mix when I really should be selling a huge second verse after a chorus with lift. This has been an elusive tone for whatever reason; Browne's standalone right side of the Protein, the Atom, lacks headroom. Other "ODRs" like the XTS Imperial Overdrive don't sound like an ODR-1 to me for this purpose. Even the Nordland ODR-CC+, which is by all reports the new-and-improved ODR-1 doesn't do it, and that one even has a bass control. Right now I use an ODR-Mini at 18 volts. But personally I could use more bass!
Most people don't know what I'm talking about when I try to describe this so hopefully this isn't an insane-sounding message. If I had to articulate, it's like a "goooounnn" or a big boulder of sound. Anyways, if you're willing to take a stab at a bass-y boom-y ODR-1, let me know!"
Where to even start...
