NOVA System by TC Electronic presented by Steffen Brix

[CatDieselPwr]

Hey man are you related to Hans Brix?

[reallybored32]

Hey man please respond! i need some help to choose between this and the line 6 m13. i play lots of classic rock, and progressive rock, like rush, EVH, yes, led zepp, and some occasional gnr stuff. i have a strat and a marshall jcm 800 which i love the drive on. which is better if i want the use the drive on my amp and still use the effects and OD from the pedal. THANKS!

[TavernacleRecords]

@reallybored32 I haven't tried the m13, but after getting to know my Nova System, I can't imagine ever liking the sound of anything from Line 6 more than I like the Nova. I've had some experience with a few Line 6 products and I don't dislike them; I just think the sound of the Nova is superior. It doesn't sound like something trying to emulate something else.

Hej - så sætter den begge delay tider til det samme...

Mvh

Steffen

[MichaelGaard]

Hej Steffen.

Hvis man bruger Dual Delay og man sætter begge tempo på lad os sige det du har med en forskel på 15ms.

Hvad vil den gøre hvis man så laver Tap Tempo? Vil den så sætte begge delay tider til det samme eller stadig holde dem adskilt med 15ms??

hello

cool sound

could you explain me about the lag.

Is it true?

please...explain it.

[TavernacleRecords]

@jr51501 While there is some degree of lag with any unit of this type, I don't see it as an issue with the Nova. Your reference to lag is probably more about the design of the footswitches. Instead of engaging when you step on them, they engage when you release them. So you press the footswitch just before you want to switch, and when you release the switch the change takes place. It's easy to get used to, and I've found that I actually prefer it that way.

Hej Steffen. Wonderful tone. Do you have the external pedal plugged into the drive input or the line input? I have not tried external distortion or overdrive with my Nova System yet and I want to use an external OD sent to a low gain DIST on the NS. Does it take pedals well? Tak! Joe

[steffenbrix]

@ImageRiver

Hey and thanks!

I've always played into to the drive input....but with that said I never use the drive in the Nova... so I don't know how it works with other drives. But it will make your sound more midrangy... for better and for worse. Try out the excellent EMMA Stinkbug for great drive-tones :)

[TavernacleRecords]

@ImageRiver It does take pedals very well. I never thought I would want more than one pedal for OD/distortion until I got the Nova System and tried both an OD and a heavy distortion in front of it. Sounds good even when I also add the built-in Drive with both pedals engaged, and with everything in front of the amp. I've had mine for a few weeks now and so far haven't even found the need to try it through the amp's effects loop.

[MONDOCHITARRA]

WHY YOU USES THE "FIRST" INPUT IN THE FENDER TWIN REVERB IS BETTER???I HAVE TOTAL SAME GEARS!!!

[steffenbrix]

@MONDOCHITARRA

I'm not sure I understand your question? I think both channels sound equally good on the Fender Twin Reverb..

[21380]

Sounds very very good. I´m waiting for my nova system to arrive :)

[cbastriani]

Very subtle settings. I LOVE it! Thats how a pro should sound, not in the ocean!

[odissey04]

Hi Nice sound !!!!Do you use Nova on FX loop or front of amp????Thanks.

[steffenbrix]

@odissey04

in front of the amps...

[PF1964]

Could you also get this guitar sound if you had the fender Blues junior instead?

[steffenbrix]

@PF1964

Well, the Blues Junior is voiced very differently than a Twin Reverb - more gritty..no so much top sparkle. So of course it will not be the same - but I'm sure you can get nice sounds anyway. I use two amps, which is needed if you want that broad sound..

[dprgsrv]

great sound! well done! can i have your reverb settings??

[dyantre]

This sounds sounds really cool!

The sounds gets so huge when you activate the stereo pitch.

Maybe a stupid question but, do you have to run the effect through two different amps to be able to use this stereo pitch? What exactly does it do to your sound?



[neokram]

I hear the difference, no worries ;-))

[xaulito]

HI Steffen, your sound remember me Wayne Kranz..very good guitar sound!

[zigzaghookie]

Can this unit give a good Rush sounding chorus/delay/distortion?

[STorpedo]

Hey, I just got a nova system myself, but I had one simple question; is physically unplugging it the only way to turn it off? Or is there some button I'm missing?

[steffenbrix]

@STorpedo

yes....an on/off switch is much missed on this compact unit

[tsironakos]

@steffenbrix Oh no! I have the DigiTech RP250 and it has the same problem. Well, it's my fate! I ordered this yesterday... Waiting...

[bigdaddy1382]

You have a beautiful sound bro. Would love to hear you play more.

[heliobluesrock]

I loved NOVA SYSTEM! And alson sounds like Eric Johnson's clean channel. Just fell in love for this pedal!!!!

[toranuguitars]

very nice!

I'll steal your setting :D

[frenche10]

what are eq settings,also can you post video with drive setting,or anything else,

sounds class.

[steffenbrix]

@frenche10

no eq og drive on this clip...

[ApollinarisSoda]

Besides a recently bought Nova System I also have a Korg ToneWorks. HUGE difference This Nova System has such a great dynamic range and reveals every winding in my pickup coils. Actually, now I also have a new guitar.

[huberten]

is there any tuner in NOVA?

[steffenbrix]

yep...you just press and hold the tap tempo switch. And it works fine..

[Evyanaf]

Very nice demo!

I have a Nova System and I think it's an awesome unit. I'd be happy if you could share some more of your settings.

[steffenbrix]

Thank you very much!

I don't know what to tell you... I don't really have more settings that I use on the NOVA :)

[steffenbrix]

Thanks ;)

[LeBeauNoir]

Thank you very much for a very clear explanation of the product!

Nice playin' too...
