TC Electronic Nova System

The Audible Choice
Nova System is the complete, floor-based effects solution for the dedicated guitar player who knows quality when he sees it. Its unique inclusion of an all-analog programmable distortion/overdrive section under preset and expression control makes it the perfect choice whether you want to trim down your rack setup, step up from your pedal patchwork or simply just want the ultimate combination of operational simplicity and audio superiority.

Add to this an array of effects taken straight from the king of floor-based processors; G-System and you have top-notch compression, EQ, noise gate, modulation, pitch, delay and reverb right at your feet. All you need is a guitar and an amp and youre good to go first class.

Genuine, Analog Drive Circuit
What makes Nova System so remarkably different is the NDT™ - Nova Drive Technology - a unique, new drive and distortion circuit that gets you the best of both worlds: World-class analog distortion and overdrive with digital control. This is the real deal no modeling. While the NDT™ is 100 percent analog and physically separated from the digital effects, its control potmeters are digital. This way you can tweak, store and recall as many drive settings as you want - you can even hook up an expression pedal and control the amount of distortion in real-time. Its wide gain range covers your every need from light breakup to heavy distortion.

Top-notch Effects
Equipped with TC branded quality effects from delays and reverbs to compressor, EQ and modulation, Nova System is the obvious all-in-one solution for any guitarist who wants setup simplicity without sacrificing tonal fidelity. All neatly programmable and storable in 60 user presets. Its 30 factory presets give you a demonstration of just what this unit provides; great sound quality and an immense versatility of effects combinations all designed to get you started right out of the box.

As I'm pretty happy with the dirty channel on my amp, I assume I'd run this through the effects loop for best results from all the other effects.

My question is what about presets? Would you recommend editing them all to remove the drive effect or just leave them? I've never run a drive pedal in my effects loop so don't know how it'll effect the signal.

Seems like they should have done two outputs on this. One for preamp, the other for effects loop...

@richardlpalmer

If you are happy with the dirty channel on your amp i would edit the presets and use the delays modulations and reverbs through the loop. Distortions don't sound great after the preamp and are best placed before to add more gain.

Yes two outputs would have been great!

How would this amp do set in front of an Orange Tiny Terror? It doesnt have an effects loop, so I'd have to run it before the preamp. My Orange is set up for overdrive tones and i roll back on the neck for semi-cleans. I see myself using the delays, reverb, and modulation, and maybe an overdrive with a slight mid cut for heavier stuff. How do you think this would do? Any opinions? Thanks!

@jacobtheguitarfreak The effects work best after the distortion but will still sound great through your amp, its all about the sound that your happy with. You can set the overdrive on the unit to push your amp or tweak the EQ to give you a different sound completely.

[RNRDOLL]

just use an amp and stick this in the effects loop (which will bypass the nova systems od/dist). Never believe any effects unit can replace a good ol' tube amp. They are only meant as supplementary tools.

@MrIcefromheaven

you absolutely nailed it.

If you play pretty good gear, i would definitely advice to get a nova system. With less good equipment, a modelling system would be a better thing. In the Moment, that you buy an Amp with character, first thing you do is sell the crappy modelling things.

@symbolic90 If you've got midi on your amp then yes. If you got the standard 1/4 inch plug then you'll need something like the MIDI Solutions Relay.

Cheers // Martin.

[RisingEternity]

is it possible to get a DISTURBED or BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE sound with that? ;)

[DeadBodySoul]

I have an Peavey 5150, would the Nova sound great for this Amp ? By the Way i dont know to plug this Nova in - to get the best Results...

[lantyboy696]

No offence but you made me not want one of these :\

[symbolic90]

Is there some way changing an amplifier's channel with this multieffect?

[WeslieJJ94]

TC Electronics Nova system or Line6 M13 ?

[quiddz]

... question... I'm running the Nova through a Suhr Badger 18 ... that has a serial loop effect setup. However; I can only get the Nova to work by running cable from Nova to normal guitar jack on the front of the amp. I think i may be using the wrong type of cable for the serial loop... do I need to use some kind of special stereo cable? I just can't seem to get the serial loop to work with my normal guitar cables...

How many presets can you store on this? Where are they accessible? 

[airmiami]

What midi pedal would control this? What can the midi do exactly...? I've never used midi on an effects pedal before. Also, how many presets can be stored?
