Jazzystème « The best pedal I've ever seen ... »
Published on 12/27/12 at 10:51This is the best machine I have ever seen in my life ... Double pedal, an overdrive and distortion analog, but with digital settings and therefore memorisable. Everything is said in other reviews, I emphasize a point that does everything:
It is possible to change the routing and also on overdrive, mix the adjustment knob allows you to keep a part of your clean sound, having the overdrive at the same time as parallel.
It opens huge opportunities: I use it as follows:
You can keep a mix noon on overdrive for your sound clearer, your overdrive on one effect block (block overdrive). In addition, if you route the two machines in parallel, you can still add more distortion, parallel - ie your clear sound, your sound Overd, and its parallel out distortion on your amp. Note absolutely: the fact that there is an equalization (Bass / Treble) on EVERY block effect, separately, you can have a very acute overdrive, and put in the background, a very grave distortion, which overlaps with your clear sound. Playing on the mix of overdrive and volume of each effect (volume separated for each block!), And the equalization of each block, you can mix the three layers without interference between them ... This is huge for coloring the sound underlay for background ... sounds buesy to Ray Vaughan to ... or John Scofield .... And any other sound ... and especially to discover the worlds at your fingertips with these three levels of your guitar ... superimposable to different volumes and different equalizations!!!
The routing is memorized preset by preset - it is possible to record sound with a parallel routing (ie distortion, overdrive and clear parallel with separate settings (volume and equalization ...!!) Then the other in series with a routing, overdrive and distortion, then another preset with distortion and overdrive ...
This is the analog buttons have surprising effects - you can increase the saturation by increasing the drive, increasing acute OR OR by increasing the volume of the guitar ... Everything is connected, and I've never seen a pedal as beautifully conceived!!
Last but not least, there is a buffer to the inside ... thus, when in the beginning of the chain effect of the loss of signal due to the length of cables (problems of impedance, sometimes used by jazzmen ...).
UTILIZATION
Config of the sound is easy to understand. But it's worth it to spend time with button button to understand how they interact together ... Consulting the manual, well done, however, is useful to understand some features.
Over the top of the top! The best pedal in the world ...
SOUND QUALITY
Extremely versatile depending on the settings: blues crunch, overdrive on the acute, everything is possible on this pedal! The sound of the guitar met, and ... everything is parameterizable as desired provided that we take the time! Only the hard thrash metal surtellurique is inaccessible. But this pedal to boost a distortion of tube amps ....
I use it with my guitars, my two Höfner, a telecaster old, my vigier surfretter ... It is really dazzling! Spend time to understand the usability of this pedal, and you will not need anything ...
Nova drive is before the nova system in my pedal board ... Between the two, I have a 7-band equalizer boss, and my dear boss chorus ensemble.
Nb: the nova drive is ULTRA quiet ... much quieter, incidentally, that the overdrive or distortion of the nova system ... that I no longer use (of the nova system) .... I've never been so happy with this config, extremely simple and very high quality ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about eight months ... I still discovers ... the settings are really very purpose! And the possibilities almost endless!
I was enormously of distortion pedals ... it was from 3 to 4 years I thought I had found what I wanted with my mosfet fulldrive II, and / or my dual vox overdrive (which I changed lamp) ...
Nay: Fulldrive my dear .... and my vox are stored in the closet for many months: nova drive is over the top (taupe, friends?)!
Choice IMPERATIVE: nova drive is very above the rest of the best overdrives, and more it is used, the more you discovers ... I will spend a few years with the pedals ... And do not see at all by what I can replace ...
