    Everything is configurable, used in two modes: either in "following pedals" or program mode.
    Imagine a series of pedals to boot your high quality :)
    Full MIDI

    UTILIZATION

    I used several multi effects, it is the most logical, the clearer and more intuitive!

    SOUND QUALITY

    We are in effect upscale, all effects present in this multi effect are of high quality.
    Miss can be a noise gate type "hush" of roctron, but we nitpick!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I keep this one solid, efficient, quality and really efficient.
    Damage, ps pedal "expression!

    A rack at his feet

    TC Electronic Nova SystemPublished on 12/02/12 at 03:54
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Everything has been said

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is simpler than on a rack More detailed course on the pedals.
    This is an exceptional compromise between the rack and pedals ....

    SOUND QUALITY

    Effects very transparent, unquestionable quality TC.
    I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the distortion, extremely versatile and excellent quality ... I used to date the Fulldrive II, and / or dual overdrive Vox: believe me or not, I have rows in the closet, and I quickly acquired the nova drive that allows two saturations in series or in parallel, in complement that of the nova.
    TC was not known for its distos, but then .... Ben gosh!

    TC was not known for its distos, but then .... Ben gosh!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a little less than a year.
    I started with pedals in all directions, and then I went to the racks (G-Major 2), keeping in distos pedals (Fulldrive II Dual Overd Vox were my favorite - especially FULLDRIVE-up nova system ....). I love to program a bit more before the effects that can only pedals ... and especially keep settings in memory ...!

    I am interested in the Nova System because there is no button "tap tempo" on the g-major 2 ... and I'm not keen on programming the afternoon ...

    And .. I almost turned all that I had ... thanks to the innovative system! What is appreciable ...

    I use to complement (not mandatory ...) of the nova drive, a 7-band equalizer BOSS pedals in, and .... that's it!

    I complete my pedalboard reflechis has a nova modulator, because the relatively small number of effect blocks can not superimpose or distos modulations ... (which is my hobby ...).

    I seem to have found everything you need, and just what it takes, feet, and I stopped my research material from this innovative system which I did not expect much! !

    I would do this choice a thousand times! Complete the Nova System with one or the other (but not too much!) Typee pedal, analog, you love ... is a very good idea ...

    The only "regret is the lack of Wah Wah - but I do not use it.

    everything has been said analog distortion, reverb, compressor, delay, pitch, harmonize, chorus, noise gate, EQ tap-tempo tuner etc..
    Very full, no effects and unnecessary gadget that would be unusable.


    The sound editing is done directly on the nova.
    It can communicate with a computer by noon but the connection nova is not thought of as a computer peripheral, rather it is the complement of a guitar and an amp.

    UTILIZATION

    The settings are simple we choose the effect you set parameters and stored.
    Patches are constructed by registering multiple combinations of effects, but I use it more like a pedal board and I turn the effects on demand.

    The manual is well done, simple and allows to understand the operation.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The quality of the effects is the strong point of the nova system: clean, varied and hot.
    Good value for money.

    I use a strat and an amp directly perform facade.
    In clear, with just a little reverb is crystalline.
    Its saturated and once properly adjusted the sensitivity, it has a good heat.

    I use most often distorse, the delay and reverb.
    I do not use the tremolo or the flangler.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for a few months and repeats concert, I have a natural and precise sound I keep the sensitivity of my guitar ..

    I had zoom, korg, I dabbled line6 and the nova system is well above the level of the quality of the effects.

    What I like most: sound, ease of use, small footprint.

    It lacks a built-in expression pedal.

    Triplette-MIDI in / or / throuh
    -Connector for expression pedal or GSwitch TC to call the preset mode Pedal
    -Power connector (no need external power)


    UTILIZATION

    We can not say that editing on this machine is very simple.
    The number of available parameters is complete, the use of menus and submenus is imperative and requires the user manual.
    Once tamed, the Nova System finally seems logical. The manual is well written and clear, though it lacks some subtleties to be discovered by chance and use.
    No software publisher, or usb socket to communicate with a pc.
    The MIDI dump is still possible for updates and load banks.
    Each effect can be edited in a comprehensive and nuanced. You can store 4 settings "favorites" for each one that can be recalled at any time to develop an entire preset. Each program can be saved in a bank. 30 factory programs, and 60 available to the user. This is less than the competition but more than adequate.
    Each parameter can be edited via a two-line monochrome display, very bright. Four knobs serve to vary the settings on the display.
    Two main modes of operation:
    PRESET MODE: In this mode switches the pedal increment two banks and three other programs operate in the bank. There are three switches to operate the Boost, Tap / Tempo (and tuner), delay. In this mode, 3 sounds per bank may seem insufficient, but we made it.
    PEDAL MODE: here it is as if we had a traditional pedalboard to 8 pedals. The limitation comes from the fact that you can not stack multiple effects of the same famille.Par ex: it's either chorus or flanger or phaser but never together. This is a restriction to the truth but I do not see when I had to use a flanger together with a chorus ... Same for the pitch, not Octaver along the harmonizer. It does not matter but you must know.
    Just then prepare its sounds in advance (as we would solve the pedals) and then turn them on and off on demand as with a traditional pedalboard.
    There is also a speaker simulator for direct output to console or a tuner enregistreur.Ainsi accurate but difficult to read because of the narrowness of the display, it helps out good anyway.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Here, there is more ambiguity.
    The sound quality is at the rendezvous, as always with TC Electronic, we fly far above the competition in terms of transparency, dynamics, compliance with it connected. This is the digital (except DO), but no emulation! The sound is great, the staggering Delay, reverbs small but perfectly usable, the sublime chorus ... Everything is monstrously efficient!
    There are no miles sounds like an esoteric Line6 HD500 or a Digitech RP1000, but everything is far from usable ridiculous, far from my face.
    Small problem: the overdrive and distortion, while being of good behavior, look ordinary in terms of the quality of the rest. The sounds are similar, roughly speaking a SD-1 and DS-1 at Boss. Nice but not transcendant.Attention in front of a tube amp that makes him seriously anyway, but it will forget the abysmal distos the metal beyond the grave!
    This is done to the Rock and Heavy Metal to the limit, of Maiden Hendrix to Satriani through if we want ...
    Do not hesitate to put the Nova in the loop and connect his favorite distortion pedal in front.
    In any case, having heard the G-System of the same brand (but three and a half times more expensive), I was hoping to get a bit of magic in this TC Electronic pedal "economic" and I'm not disappointed! ! I assure you that there is a world between this machine and disappointing Boss GT10, the side of IRONMONGER Line6 successful emulations with a cold but still marked.
    For better is AxeFX, G-System (more complete).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for three weeks in the rehearsal studio and home studio. For this I set all of the pedals to stick with the band's repertoire. Few hours of toil and trial and error, but the rewards are worth it. Exit my pedalboard heavy and cumbersome. My preferred configuration is: just NovaSystem with my expression pedal in front of my Laney VC30 on clean channel.
    For concerts I plan to pull through the loop and use my BlackStar HTdual for saturation because of its texture.
    Before acquiring the Nova System, I tried a Vox Tonelab SE, Line 6 HD 500, Boss GT10 and DigitechRP1000. I admit that these products are more complete in terms of possibilities, not really sound limitations in delusions. It's really the sound that tipped the balance in favor of TC. When you hear the purity of the TC effects, we realize that it is not the same audience. A very similar rate, we must choose between opulence and ... quality.
    The price / quality ratio seems paradoxically more favorable to the Nova System.
    Not only that choice I would do the same budget, but I plan to stay in the same family and migrate to the big brother to have the cake and eat it too.

    Very nice display feature
    Anodized aluminum housing - very durable
    Great switches

    UTILIZATION

    The Nova System is designed to replace a pedalboard setup. It is a multi-effects processor, which is a term that makes many guitarists groan - one tends to think of the old cheesy processor units with over a hundred sounds, but zero GOOD sounds - but this unit is full of excellent tones. It has a smaller amount of presets, as well as different effects models, as something like a Line 6 M9 has, but they tend to be higher quality sounds. The unit is really easy to navigate and program.

    SOUND QUALITY

    First things first - the delays and reverbs are PERFECT. They don't get much better than this, folks - you'd have to get into mega-expensive Axe Fx units to get any noticeable difference. The analog drive unit is surprisingly good. I thought the addition of having analog drive instead of digital distortion was a great move on TC's part - digital distortions frankly typically sound like crap. Now, distortion is one of the most personal of sonic touches that any guitarist looking for their "signature tone" can have, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but TC Electronic has made it easy to bypass the distortion signal so one can use one's amp distortion or another external pedal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I love this pedal. The functionality is vast, deep, and yet simple. Two gripes - it weighs a lot for the size, so it definitely adds a considerable mass to a pedalboard. That's not totally a bad thing - it seems to be extra durable, but I wanted to mention this in order to be thorough. The other gripe I have is with the switching - it seems like the switch activates the function upon the RELEASE of the switch, and not upon the PRESS of the switch, like 99.99999% of all other units. This is a bit awkward to get used to. It's not the most annoying feature in the world, but for someone that is used to many sound changes in the course of a set, this can make the stomp timing a bit harder to nail.

    All in all, this is a great unit.

J ' I even managed to get a heavy sound, while it does not register the pedalboard ... and what is the distortion ... I do not find anything wrong slightly lacking in bass but nothing good means of comparison grave.Mais distortion are: Mesa Boogie V-Twin, Vox bull dog, Blackstar HT dual.J 've concervé the blackstar with a gold ground tung, to have an OD of each preset .... yes you have of course, the distortion of the blackstar will be inclined to that of the nova.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have now for three months, used during rehearsals alone ... I would say that at present, the nova system + a small distortion pedal for aditional = best quality / price / size / practice.
    I buy a replacement, and to be honest mate three guitarists of all three very good hesitated seriously sell their monstrueu pedalboard and expensive it is to say ... cherie

    everything is good: the overdrive and distortion is analog not digital understood that means you can turn down the volume on the guitar that keeps the dynamic simulations like no tricks or was all or nothing

    it's simple: I put the distortion with the gain to 20 (max is 30) delay and reverb on the neck pickup and the volume was 5 les paul I have a good crunch blues and round we feel the attack behind but clean and defined, and presto! I switch the toggle switch and I spend about two microphones has the upper back and it tumbles and then I switch the switch again to finish the micro acute and bam!

    and same if I move the knobs of tone

    Brief shades are made as they should be

    OVERALL OPINION

    then understand it: this thing is very well thought out guitar is not for cosmonauts computer sound engineer plumber (I have nothing against eh)

    it is a rig of pedals at his feet who walks the fire of God in front of an amp on the clean channel
    I know ... it can be frustrating to say that his great tube amp only serves as a power amp and often when one returns to the distortion of the amplifier is that the multi effect in question has no grain ... ,.... but he

    my laney l5t112 is not the last of dung (excuse me if I fart but it's to say), well the nova with its crunch makes it both a perfect front and it's rare .. . especially with the distortion


    icing on the cake: If your amp crunch you look great and you have the best overdrive pedal shops at 500 euros each, while the nova erase the drive to get quietly through the loop of your amp with the line imput (and some level adjustments) and you take advantage of the delay and reverb, or they must be ... and other bad effects as

    I forgot: the sound cleans are to die but you guessed because of a clean if you Casez a chorus and a delay of tc tc you will understand quickly!

    I pass on the compressor, chorus, who are intelligent picth shifter top and allow to sculpt will see the video of Ron Thal for the compressor is subtle

    2 modes: pedal in play play preset or take pedal play it scrolls through presets but also in each preset you can enable or disable the effects as if you have the pedals in chain

    ha yes ... there is also noise gate and EQ: EQ I then with my boost or lower frequencies to find me the mediums that go to a blues, and you can dig your mids for cold metal sound that I ' not like it but hey

    and those who say that the crunch is not going far enough to the metal? so they like what pickups? may be tired? (Micro) burstbuckers me I just sent it to Gibson and

    Then of course you will find people who will say yes but you can not do with the method 4 cables ... ouiiiiinnnnnnnnnn!

    it's true! but what is it with the nova? to a distortion of the nova in front of the amp and effects in the loop of the amp.

    yeah. except that if you want to buy it a distortion, turn the front (it will be as good as the nova) and put the nova in the loop of the amplifier

    then the method is 4 cables for those who want the cake and butter
    and 280 euros opportunity for such a quality sound ben um they have already a very good creamy butter


    value for money: even at the cost of nine (390) is top

    I had a boss GT6 TONELAB POD XT it has nothing to do and yet it was worth as much if not more

    modeling we get tired quickly even if the lack of momentum for the home studio is very well
    for a true sound better the nova, the config is classic, one that makes the guitar sound to which we return, with the known effects that give the grain rather than 457 gadgets, amps, soap boxes, placement of microphones , room size, color sofa Ocean Way recordings etc etc

    Another point that was not important to me at the time of purchase but who is now is the lack of effects loop. So I no longer use the section OD / distortion as I plugged the Nova in the loop of my amp. Ditto for the compressor to spend after my overdrive pedal and it's not great either. In short all these faults are erased by the G-System (as if by chance ...) but budget issue ...
    Also in the idea of ​​changing its in a "click" I plan to buy the MIDI in 4X ment of G-LAB, which contains four loops midi controllable (what can the Nova) and for € 140. If I ever want to further improve the ergonomics I could always buy a MIDI pedal to control everything.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
    Super. As a multi purpose and since I use no effect too "exotic" for me is impeccable.

    Which instruments do you use?
    Ibanez AT300 singature, Blackstar HT-60, BB Preamp, Tech21 GT2-...

    Which ones you prefer, you hate?
    Plus: delay, reverb, Octave, Detune
    Less: Flanger, Phaser

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it before the stage. Today I miss certain things but does not affect the super quality. Today I made my way to something else (rack + foot controller)

    Pdalier the possibility of racks.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is in English but is found only on the trs site in French Tc-Electronic.

    The edition of the sounds and the configuration are gnrale trs simple.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are often as good trs in TC. Nothing to say is top!

    As for the distortion, what you want I bet all

    Well I love! To play the blues to the big rock that really chih trs well!
    The distortion is straightforward, although Dfine and can play full chords with a big sound! Not really a send! Nothing to do with all these amp simulators, speakers often seen ...

    L is the simple, the trs simple! You only have 4 to paramtres rgler the disto! But more than enough for the basic sound is analog trs good!

    However, to play the mtal, I think it will be a little lightweight ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Pdalier I use this for a week so it's a first draft that I am the! I'll be back when I know more ;-)

    I have used and tried a lot of pdalier but I never really satisfied with the t distortion and amp simlulations shovel ... L with the Nova, I'm tr s content!

    The report qualitPrix seem all that honorable. This is when the same good stuff that trs j'espre keep between 5 and 10 years.

    I would do this choice.

    In contrast, IL RSID significant noise when I put the sound distortion and I do not play! I have not found the origin of these sounds but comes from pdalier! I do not know yet if it's my pdalier which is somewhat dfectueux or is it "normal" ... I will look into whether a esprant my default pdalier .

    Added 07/06/08

    Well I said the BTIS. Parasitic noise did not come from pdalier but the guitar ... The problem is rgl! I would also add that the problem does not pdalier of breath (unless all levels are the bottom ... and poorly rgls)

    In short this is pdalier top

    I refer to the previous opinion or the TC site

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration, the editing of sounds is a breeze, no complications with the hundreds of parameters of conventional digital effects.
    The manual actually gives some small Downpipe significant for optimal use of the machine.

    SOUND QUALITY

    A distortion / OD analog with régalges bases and conventional digital effects (delay, reverb, chorus ect ...) can get most of the desired effects for a versatile guitar (rock, blues ..) with quality idéniable sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had three months and I love it!
    Most: simplicity and efficiency effects, multi size (very compact), finish strong
    Cons: yes there are still, no button (on / off) the cable must be removed to disconnect the power supply (it's a little void in this price), the BOOST switch out of position, I always tend to look for a solo enchainer
    Quality / price ratio: 8 / 10 (but just because of the power supply. Besides a POD X3 I bought just before, so no comparison in sound, use and price ( 200 euros greatly improved in quality)
    Repeat this choice, absolutely, this pedal deserves to be known

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
    As for the delay and reverb is very very good. I expected since I know quite well the brand.
    The Overdrives are quite vintage but in very very Russian soul, like the distortion that are excellent (and yet j'tait "anti-pedals.") But still enough fat and a bit messy in the grave.
    Chorus I do not like so much but I'm not REALLY a fan of chorus or flange.
    The tremolo and vibrato are also russi.
    Little more, I learned a apprcier the pitch shifter with this multi purpose <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
    Compressor: I use a lot of sounds clear, one can do anything with.
    Which instruments do you use?
    I use a ESP Horizon S. Duncan, who is a very versatile guitar thanks to the split. I plug directly into the Nova facade of a Brunetti Maranello. Nova and almost made me forget that Brunetti was a fantastic overdrive channel.

    What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

    Sounds saturated destiny to "lead" are really very very good. Add a little delay, reverb and a very lightweight round is played. on the other hand I dtest rendering of distortion coupled with the Chorus.

    He also embellishes clean sounds.

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    Approximately 2 months

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    The possibility to use mode or preset mode Pedal. The G switch is ultimately be necessary to take full advantage of multi purpose.

    Its small size is also one more so than weight.

    Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    I possd in a Pod all beginners, and a Zoom G2, and a Rocktron Intellifex and Boss GT10.
    The innovative system has nothing to do (although Intellifex silent monster but a difficult paramtrer). It is widely over a Boss and has absolutely nothing to do with a Line 6 also.
    This is a step up (view more)

    How do you report qualitprix?
    Since its release j'tait very interested. But the introductory price (680) was too lev for me, I rabatue a Boss GT10 that I left a bad taste and I n'tait never happy with my sound.
    When the price has dropped recently, I did not rflchi, and I sold the boss bought the Nova.

    Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

    Yes! But j'hsiterai with Carl Martin Quattro <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

    Everything.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration gnrale Is it easy?
    Absolutely, I who am a big fnant I have not had the courage to open the manual (in English for that matter) that I said out! Well obviously I would not operate to its maximum capacity at this time.

    The edition of sound effects or is it easy?
    Indeed yes, it is difficult to get any easier, I would have AIM Schematic view of the curve for EQ, it's a bit of the PIE meters with just the frquence in Hz and various paramtres

    The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
    Probably, I did not read.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
    The trs is good, personally I found the sound lead guitar / solo with my ENGL silent grin and awful, and this thanks pdalier I finally found the perfect sound enjoyment , enjoyable, but all the same pchu.

    Which instruments do you use?
    A Jackson RR3, ENGL Fireball amp, I only metal, a few times cleans all of the same (hh pagan metal. I added my line 6 Ubermetal pedals in the loop.
    What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
    I love the couple pitch + delay and reverb, it really gives the sound of beauty, which is often a bit "raw" my taste, I like hot and sweep round the ear, the notes in the Acute & Co remains enjoyable and I found my happiness.

    HOWEVER, I knew I had read reviews dj, the distortion is really the problem is the distortion for pussy, no way to make music with the raw a, at once make sure you have a cot burne more pedals. APRS good, and 500 were not a big distortion is a little boring but ... the rest largely Relva level.

    I put 8 / 10 this product just because of the distortion, if not have a free t hsiter 10.

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long have you use it?
    1 month

    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    Versatility, the quality of the product.

    The weight is a bit heavy! gonna break my back again ...
    No On / Off button, shit what is essential even when ...
    The tuner is not great.

    Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    Yes, chorus + reverb pedals simple, not a multi pdalier effect.

    How do you report qualitprix?
    Good without being excellent.

    Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    bought a few days ago, I was tired of lugging the pedals, and occupy the entire floor around, play the tap dancer ...
    I wanted a multi-effects sends, I first bought a VOX TONELAB EX, sounds in the headphones sound OK but branch of an amp is a disaster!
    is screaming, it sounds synthetic, ca lack of major yet, God knows if I pass the time working in vain ...
    then return home Euroguitar for resale, and I fall on the NOVA ... slap! Start with a branch in a tiny terror, it sounds! it's beautiful!

    put from the power supply or select the presets.Que say, except that it (TRS far!) the best multi-effects I've ever had under the legs! !
    yes I would do without this choice hsiter! the NOVA bluff me completely!
