Imagine my surprise when I saw the prices on what was explained to be a cheaper pedal. It looks like a behringer for gods sales.

Which isn't that surprising because before Behringer produced their Boss, Line 6 etc. clones and before countless others entered the market with rebranded chinese clones in a time where YouTube didn't yet exist there were Danelectro/FAB, Jacques, George Dennis, Onerr, DOD/Digitech, Pearl AND Nobels among others offering alternatives to Boss, Dunlop/MXR, Maxon/Ibanez & Co. for guitarists on a budget. So, they cut costs where they could.

I use the reissue; worth the 85 euro i paid for it (new) some years ago. Don't think there are rare components to make the old different from the reissue.
 
The fact that they have reissues for over a hundred bucks and a mini version now ( I just checked) makes this even more ridiculous.
 
I have the reissue and I like it and use it but I can use a Boss pedal just as easy. Overdrive pedals are dime a dozen. I have tried them all and they are perhaps the most overrated pedal type made ha
 
I looooove this.
All these morons thinking every pedal made is a beanie baby.

They often dont even know how many were even ever made. They just HAVE to have it for their “collection”. Maybe stack then next to their wall of He-Man toys.

Limited edition pedals and “Vintage” gear is a pyramid scheme perpetuated by the same population of fools all buying and selling the same gear to each other for increasing costs.

Nobels weren't even that well known in Germany. They sold some MIDI stuff, ABY switchers and some effects including a few ODR variants.

Back in the late '80s I had a Nobels Sound Studio 1-X.

It was something like a Rockman, that had a half-decent overdrive, gate, some chorus and delay. Used it for several 4-track-cassette demos. Sounded pretty-good.

This is the first time since then (25 years ago) that I've heard the name Nobels mentioned. Didn't know they were still-around.

Should have kept it! It might be worth 120,000$ by the end of next year.
 
I like my Nobels OD more than any other OD I’ve used.

14,000$ CAD lol. Imagine I bought that thing, paid the tax on it ( 1,820$) and told my wife I drained part of our emergency fund for a pedal that would probably be no better than what I already have? She'd love that. Sorry kids, no Disney land this year, daddy spent 15k on a pedal he won't use.
