  • how is the noise gate and the graphic EQ on the nova system ? I am thinking of getting this.

  • @chopshop777 My best recommendation is to try it out.

  • Hi I have a New System and need to buy a wha pedal and expression. What pedal do you think appropriate? You can control effects such as volume and wham a Cry Baby? Thanks for answer.

  • @zero82611 Find an ordinary expression pedal and control any parameter with that :)

  • Hi TC,

    Can the Nova Drive do that JCM800-like distortion sound, too, or its distortion channel is different?

  • @HoTpAnTs411 yes you can dial in a JCM800-ish higain type of sound as NOVA System's overdrive emulates the classic overdrive originally only found in tube amps.

    Just purchased the NOVA System and I'm taking it back. I like the sounds, but here are a few gripes:

    1. can't turn on and off EQ unless you incorporate a preset with EQ.

    2. limited tone choices on od and dist (they're both pretty good) you'll be wishing

    you had a few more choices later on.

    3. My biggest deal breaker.......too much of a delay when switching from, say, a clean sound with some slight dealy to a saturated dist lead with heavy delay. Almost 1/10th of a sec??

  • The reason Peter has a Boss Tuner is because THE INTERNAL TUNER IS NOT CHROMATIC! Found this out today when I bought one. I guess TC didn't want that mentioned in their video. Seriously, how can you make a multi effects that sounds this good and only include a six-note guitar tuner? Have the Danish not yet discovered drop D tuning?

  • Anybody else notice the volume drop at 4:47 (compressor plus OD)?

  • what's that riff @ 4:36 ? Is there a song based on it??

  • can someone do a slow down of his lick on 7:07?

  • The key to getting the max out of this unit, is I believe, running it in front of a really high quality tube amp. I play in a cover band and will soon unload a bunch of rack-based shit for this thing to minimize setup time. Nice piece by TC and Thorn.

  • yakety fucking yak

  • does anyone know what kind of power supply peter thorn is using beneath his boss tuner? it doesnt look like a voodoo, just curious
