Karma ODR-10

Introducing the Karma ODR-10!

Not just an ODR-1 clone - this is a clone of an extraordinary unit from the early 1990s, on loan to me from Tim Pierce.

I’ve had many requests to clone this circuit but have resisted until my friend Tim sent me his pristine original from the early 1990s to analyze. These early Nobels now command premium prices on the used market.

When I put Tim’s up against several of the current models and clones, the difference was dramatic. I agree with Tim - an ODR-1 from the early 90s sounds like an amp, while the new ones and clones sound like a pedal.

Now, almost a year and many prototypes later, I’ve been able to accurately replicate not just the ODR-1, but Tim Pierce’s specific original. Tim’s response after living with the final prototype: “Greg, this is a great thing that you did ... I want guitar players to have this sound...I think people will really love it. Congrats man, you did it!...it sounds identical to my ODR-1 :)”

(To be clear - Tim and I are not in business together; he sees this as a service to the guitar community, and I’m just thrilled to have gotten his input, encouragement, and support. We’ve known each other for many years from working on album sessions together.)
