Oneder Effects Onederwall Review: It’s Biblical, You Know x

One half Onederbolt distortion, one half turbo big muff, but all goodness.

Few pedal companies have become more important to me in the last year than Oneder Effects. The Red Ryder is the RAT-style pedal I’ve been missing, the Major Award was seriously fun fuzz, and now a new pedal graces my board. The Onederwall has arrived and for the past few months, has been the main sound behind my gigging pedalboard/my band.

The Onederwall is a hilariously named pedal that doesn’t really have anything to do with Oasis or the iconic song however. The right side is a Big Muff-style fuzz, with three voicing options including classic mid scoop fuzz (down on toggle), flatter mids with more gain (middle on toggle), or a diode lift with much heavier lows (up on toggle).

The other side is the revamped Oneder Drive circuit, now named the Onederbolt. It has two modes controlled by the top most toggle on the left side, which are op amp clipping (up) or a LED/silicon hybrid sound (down). However, there is yet ANOTHER toggle switch hidden on there that allows for boosting the high end and sustain when in the up position.

You can also use the final toggle switch in the middle of the footswitches to change between running the fuzz into the drive, or vice versa, when stacking both on together. Boy that’s a lot to talk about.

The good news is that they basically all sound good all the time, so you don’t need to worry about struggling to dial in great tone with only the boost mode on, and op amp clipping, but the tone rolled off, etc….You will never find yourself bored of the Onederwall, that’s for sure.

Demo below, the guitar is my trusty RWM Tele with a single P90 pickup, plus the amps you hear are the Universal Audio Ruby & Dream amp/cab sims in stereo.

The sounds are just massive and crushing from the Onederwall. It’s perfectly dialed in for a lot of the punk, pop punk, and 2000s alt rock that I was raised on and continue to play. Most importantly though, the Onederbolt drive side is highly flexible. Now, it always sounds like the Oneder drive, and I mean that in a positive way. But it has so many small and subtle ways to tweak the sound. Want it fuller? Crispier? Lighter? Louder? All possible without losing the characteristic sound of the pedal. You’ll never be confused if it’s a Tube Screamer or Klon, and I really like that. If I’m going to shell out a couple hundred bucks for a boutique drive, I want it to retain some individuality.

But realistically, there’s a lot of surplus value with the Onderwall too. Anytime you can get two pedals on your board with one power supply, I’m pleased. Fuzz and drive are two of the most important parts of any rig for me, and both of these are top tier sounding examples. The Onederwall is biblical, an instant hit for me and another high end release from Nick at Oneder Effects!
