two machines side effects:
can be chosen independently for each machine is a multiband compressor, compressor simple, or a noise gate, while digital.

I find the idea of ​​a dual noise gate / compressor in this format really attractive ...

pedal rather small 13 x 13 cm, metal case, heavy, it inspires confidence.

no battery, power supply provided (good)

traditional connection: an a priori input and output jacks for each machine (4 e / s so)
"A priori" becaufe the routing capabilities can be more complex:
see examples in the manual
https://www.tcelectronic.com/media/Nova_Dynamics_FR.pdf

Despite these possibilities, I searched in vain for the sidechain:
<blockquote> Is it possible to use the dynamics of the signal A to signal B applied to?
(Eg for use in loop using the momentum from clean to reduce their saturated) </blockquote>
that's what I asked the salesman who assured me that yes, she was even studied for.
Ben is wrong. no sidechain. dynamics obtained by analyzing a signal applies a signal point to the same bar. you can just have two different effects to each side of the other.

it's a shame, especially as the number of e / s would have been sufficient

UTILIZATION

multilingual manual in the box

Because all it is is not intuitive, but we still quick tour of the beast

SOUND QUALITY

Personally I bought this pedal yesterday becaufe I needed a noise gate, only, and not a guitar.

the idea is to distort my battery electronic excessive.

most of the noise gate delays for a guitarist to have opening and closing long hair for drum sounds.
here it goes to the rhythm. attack and release to zero really fast.

over most of the time the gates guitar are not transparent: a filter is applied to remove the sounds other than a guitar, like the crackling of a cymbal distorted.
unusable for me.

Here the sound is transparent frankly, it was a real gate, simply.
I tested with my mixing desk (the original one hand, noise gate by nova on the other), and I'm infoutu feel the difference (even on my good monitor), the convertos do very well their job
the pedal is not blowing a hair (good news for a noisegate ^ ^)
and suddenly it was truly beautiful silence, as the distos bruitent does not alone

I do not comment compressors.

OVERALL OPINION

a good little pedal, happy with my purchase (new € 130)

just a shame that a sidechain function have not been implemented
it would have increased the efficiency of the gate (I was able to totally let go in the analog Feedback distos)
and it was also interesting on the cuts for those who mucking around a bit more than simply to swell the sound of their guitar.

it is funny and makes doubly good job (at least in noise gate)
