The detail that deserves to be mentioned again: analog circuitry for the drive and digital for the rest
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is simple?
So I am sorry to start with a sad news, but the general configuration is not easy at first. Having flown (as usual) the manual here I am very unprepared when the time of connection was coming. Level connection is plain, but once connected, understand how the machine requires a little concentration ... Although theoretically knowing the 2 modes (preset and pedal), nothing is clear at this moment ...
Fortunately, I'm reminded myself that he had to stay to support the MOD switch, what I read on a forum (perhaps that of AF?) A few months ago. Even in re-flying the manual, can not find this indication (but maybe I did not look in front of the holes).
If you're accustomed to the relative simplicity Line 6 is the change of scenery! However, the NOVA SYSTEM is not poorly thought out so far, do not make me say what I did not say. Indeed, we can still start to tame the beast after a few dozen minutes.
The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes and no ... We go into too much detail sometimes and other times not enough. Clarity is not always the watchword. However, the explanations of the effects is quite detailed and worked.
At the same time, that's where I'm coming, this is a product that is intended to insiders, looking for specific criteria: transparency and sound quality to name just two. This necessarily involves numerous tuning possibilities, details on pretty sharp.
Editing sounds and effects is easy?
The edition itself, yes. There are a lot of parameters which may confuse more lazy ... But we will not complain, eh!
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Moultes repeatedly said once: Yes, its clear, transparent, quality effects is absolutely appalling, after years of playing live with efffets POD XT LIVE in the loop (without simus, we agree) in multiple conditions, there is indeed change ... and wholesale. There or Line 6 makes you change your signal, the Nova System makes you a signal sublimate.
Which instruments do you use?
Live in a LANEY VH100R with a PRS CE-24
Which ones do you prefer?
I do not really offend anyone by saying that all effects are widely exploited and even more than that. The drive is convincing enough (less than a TS-808), as distortions, but I've really had the time to look in detail above.
The tremolo is magical. The delays will take a little more work to get his ideal (too much choice killed a choice). The Whammy (without pedal) produces a LOW (-2 oct) pretty realistic to the point that I think I'll use it for my records.
Do you hate?
There is nothing hateful about this item ... Soooo haaaa! The tuner!
Its accuracy is more qu'hasardeuse (but already mentioned below) and it's still REALLY bad for a product of this caliber! Line 6 in this area has done better.
OVERALL OPINION
For how long have you been using it?
Since only a few hours.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I have owned and tested a lot of line 6. But the NOVA system has no competitor in its price range, quality effects worth its weight in Euros.
After it is a shame to only be able to quickly change the bank via the G-pédaletruc (remember the name) because it would allow more flexibility in live situations. But should sell well G-force, right?
What is special as the most / least valuable?
Plus: The sound, the sound, the sound ... and sound!
Fewest: Setting lazy, not very friendly. Change of bank anything but practice ... Tuner to the questionable accuracy.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Good, very even. It is significant to note that CT offers high quality products at reasonable prices, because such a policy is often at the expense of quality, but not here ...
And on occasion, is the price of 2 pedals ... Then it quickly saw ...
Then must show strength over time, but so far there are not too many complaints, a good sign!
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
