ODR-C 

 

 

4/8 

Level 

This knob 

H

 adjusts the output-volume of the ODR-C. 

Drive  

This  control 

I

  set  the  amount  of  overdrive.  It  can  be  adjusted  between  "almost  clean"  and  "heavily 

overdriven".  The  volume  changes  depending  on  the  position  of  the  knob.  Then,  if  necessary,  adjust  the 

volume  with  the  Level-control 

H

.  The  overdrive  circuit  limits  the  signal  and  therefore  it  sounds  more 

compressed (longer sustain) and it produces a lot of harmonics too. 

Spectrum  

This control 

J

 has always been special! Unlike other devices on the market (called Tone or Treble), which 

prune the signal simply in the treble (dull control) I use an active electronics, which regulates not only the 

treble (from about 1 kHz), but likewise the basses around approx. 300 Hz - so rather the lower middle range. 

 

Orange: 

The  center-position  is  the  normal  sound.  In  this  position  the  button  engages  noticeably. 

Gray: 

Turning the knob to the right raises treble and bass. 

Green: 

Turning the knob to the left will lower treble and bass accordingly. 

 

What remains is a good sounding middle section (600 Hz to 1 kHz). This results in well playable 

 

sounds in all positions.
