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.

I play this …
I play this through a Les Paul, into an Orange tube amp. I compared it to a Boss GT10 and the Line6 M13. There is a LOT to explore in the menus and this is a very difficult pedal to set up. but its sound beats boss and line6. I wanted the Orange sound i paid for, not amp models, synths or speaker sims, and this did not color my sound, as you add effects you can hear your tone preserved. pro stuff. if you want crazy sounds and you want your amp to sound like something else, this isn’t for you.

the tones seem way better but has less amp models I guess
from the demos on …
from the demos on youtube, i would say that the TC makes much better sound then Line 6 but i didn´t hear both in real live comparison.
By myself i really miss a looper and a screamer in the TC nova system, that would make it a really first choice. That would be also very nice if they would make a option for analog delay while running in the send mode thru the stereo amp. Than one could get along with only one unit.
cant wait to get my …
cant wait to get my own system! I ordered it 2 days ago
There are 2 ways to …
There are 2 ways to access patches on the nova system. The first allows you turn the effects on and off at any time. To change patch you must hold the pedal down more than 0.5sec.
The second gives you 3 patches on the bottom row (instantly) and lets you select mod delay boost and tap tempo.
If you use a suitable expression pedal you can control the volume. It’s placed after the compressor so you will be fine.
Question From …
Question From StefanpriceUK :Can you switch the effects on and off when in a patch, older multi effects you either use manual mode (like seperate stomp box style) or programme which is patches and you can’t stomp effects in and out.
Also How can I use my volume pedal AFTER the comp, I don’t want to violin INTO compression as the compressor will try to normalise the swell and defeat the object.
How do the sound …
How do the sound quality of the effects in the Line 6 M13 and TC nova system compare?
If you wanna use …
If you wanna use the effects and the overdrive of your amp, you should put the nova in the fx loop. Otherwise you overdrive the effects.

There is no delay …
There is no delay in switching presets and no volume changes (unless your using the boost function), we have had several customers who use this unit live with no issues at all.
hey thanks for the …
hey thanks for the review. i’ve read somewhere that there’s a delay of about half a second after kicking a switch before the system actually changes the preset. and that, simultaneously, there’s also a slight increase in volume which then decreases again. is this true? half a second for switching is long, especially for live use.
best & thanks
how much does this …
how much does this thing weight?
this unit only is …
this unit only is designed to go in front of the amp however if your not using the drive on it you could use it in the loop,
you could use your other od’s in front of the nova system and then go straight into a clean amp,
if you are wanting to use the amps lead channel then the Line 6 M13 allows you to put the modulations and delays through the loop and use all of the od sounds on the unit in front of the amp.
do you run this on …
do you run this on the effects loop or just infront of the amp? this may be an issue for me cause i would use od stuff infront and the other effects like delay or modulation on the loop, or are you able to run this unit separately like im saying (some effects on the loop and other infront of the amp)?
