And now I am the proud owner of the Blues Pro pedal. It works great with my hollow body, gives it the mid boost that it needs, without squaking all over the place.
hey i keep coming back and watching this video, very nice. could you maybe describe pros/cons of the small fry and the blues pro? i think i might get one of these as a more lead based pedal, which do you prefer?
Personally, I prefer the Small Fry. The Blues Pro is too far to the tubescreamer side of the spectrum. You don't really hear it on these clips so much, but it has a fair amount of midhump and some cut in the highs and lows. While the midhump is not as nasally or pronounced as a TS, it's still more than I care for, especially with bridge pickups...
You're welcome! I've heard countless great things about Mr Barber. He makes very fine pedals. I have a Tone Press and would recommend it highly as well as the Small Fry.... I might try to get my hands on an LTD SR next!
I'm not sure how old my Nobels is, but it is one of the early green ones. It does indeed color the tone a bit. I use a loop-master and place the Nobels in one of the loops... Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks! The Nobels pretty well stays in my pedalboard for lower gain sounds. For gainier stuff, the Small Fry works better. The Blues Pro is a little too much like a Tubescreamer for me, although the mid hump is not as honky. It sounds fine with the neck pickup, but gets obnoxious with the bridge pickup, IMO.
Actually, I was searching for clips of the small fry, but then I heard the nobels and found out how much cheaper it is. I think I'm going to buy one myself. Thanks!
Something to be aware of.... The newer model of the Nobels is supposedly quite different from the older lime green one, at least according to most. I haven't played one of the newer ones but I hear they don't sound like the old ones. The old ones seem to be going for $80-120 nowdays....
Just bought a new one and it sounds great!! First, I emailed the people from Nobels and they told me that the new one has exactly the same components as the old version, and that different pedals may only sound slightly different due to the tolerance of the internal components. Well, anyway, I really like my new one!!! Thanks again for this clip!
I want this video on my WX395 phone.

I've got a Nobels OD-1 plus 10th anniversary and it's very smooth and natural. The best OD you can get for under $100
