Nova - Your tone is everything

The sensation of weight, the grandiose design and overall

build quality instinctively tell you these aren’t just ordinary

stompboxes. They’re so much more – the essence of your

tone!

Built upon the legacy and knowledge of TC’s world-

renowned effects processors the Nova pedals raise the bar

for guitar effect pedals and redefine what it means to be

“state-of-the-art”. The ND-1 Nova Delay offer

uncompromised studio quality effects in a compact floor-

based design.

With 6 different stereo delay types and the option to store

up to 9 presets customizable by an array of style

parameters ranging from vintage tape to digital delay this

pedal easily serves all delay requirements of modern guitar

players who want to create unique sounds.

The ND-1 Nova Delay pedal features 6 different delay

types: Delay Line, Dynamic, Reverse, Ping-Pong, Pan and

Slap-back.

Three different types of modulation (light, medium and

heavy) can be applied to any of the delay types. The

modulation is applied to the delay repeats only which

makes the Nova Delay unique compared to setups where

a delay pedal is used in conjunction with a chorus pedal.

The all-new Audio Tapping™ technology enables you to

set the tempo of the delay by playing a rhythm into the

pedal while holding down the TAP TEMPO switch.

Nova Delay Features:

• 6 studio-quality delay types

• Up to 9 storable user presets plus manual mode

• Easy switching between modes and presets

• Audio Tapping™ - audio-generated tap tempo

• Modulated delay

• True delay spill-over

• Easy color control

- from tape style over analog to digital

INTRODUCTION

SETUP EXAMPLE - MONO/STEREO

This setup illustrates how to use the Nova Delay

pedal in a mono setup (one amp only) or stereo

setup (two amps). Effects as reverb or delay are

usually placed as the last effects before the

amplifier. Therefore, - place all drive and

modulation effects prior to the Nova Delay pedal.

If you use the amp/amps to create

overdrive see the “SEND/RETURN

example on the following page.

SETUP EXAMPLE - SEND/RETURN

This example illustrates how to connect your

Nova Delay pedal as a send/return effect in

an effects loop. This is the correct placement

of the Nova if you use the pre-amp section of

the amp for overdrive sounds.

Expand this setup to stereo by connecting

the Nova pedal right output to the return of a

second amp.

Connections

1 - Power

The Nova Delay require 12V DC 300 mA. Use the

power supply provided in the product box or a power

supply with similar specifications.

2 - Inputs

1/4” mono jack connections for signal input. Use left

input for mono signal or use both left and right inputs

for connecting a stereo signal.

3 - Outputs

1/4” mono jack connections for signal output. Use left

output for mono or both outputs for stereo.

Switches

4 - On/Off

This switch has two functions.

- Press and release immediately for standard on/off

function.

- Hold and release for 2 seconds to switch between

manual and preset modes.

5 - Tap Tempo & Audio Tap Tempo

The delay time is always calculated using the current

global tempo and the selected subdivision.

The global tempo can be entered in different ways:

- as dialed using the DELAY knob

- as tapped by tapping the TAP TEMPO switch

- as tapped using the Audio Tap TempoTM feature

Audio Tapping:

Audio tapping is entered by holding down the TAP

TEMPO switch and feeding audio to the input e.g. by

hitting guitar strings.

See also the example in the chapter describing

“Subdivision”.

Example - Tap Tempo using the TAP TEMPO switch

• Tap 1/4 notes on the TAP TEMPO switch.

The TAP TEMPO LED will indicate the tapped

tempo.

This can be done in both “off” and “on” mode.

OPERATION

Example - Tap tempo by audio

• Press and hold the TAP TEMPO switch. When the

outputs are muted, play steady short 1/4 notes on

your instrument. The TAP TEMPO LED will indicate

the tapped tempo.

• Release the switch again.

That’s it - you have now entered the global tempo by

audio.

Knobs

6 - Delay

Adjusts the delay time. When the DELAY knob is in 12

o’clock position the delay time is not altered.

Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the delay time and

clockwise to increase the delay time. The maximum

delay time vary depending on the selected delay type.

Delay Type Max Delay Time

Delay Line 2290ms

Dynamic 2290ms

Reverse 1000ms

Ping Pong 2290ms

Pan 2290ms

Slapback 300ms

7 - Feedback

The FEEDBACK knob sets the amount of delay

returned to the input of the delay line. The higher the

setting the more repeats.

8 - Color

Full control and perfect replica of the source signal

may be the advantage of a digital delay. However, the

delay repeats may at times blend much better if the

high-end frequencies of the repeats are colored.

OPERATION

The complex Nova Delay color filter allows for shaping

of the delay repeats in styles ranging from tape drive

over analog to digital.

9 - Mod/Level

In addition to the coloration of the delay repeats

controlled by the COLOR knob, you may also add

more or less pitch modulation to the delay repeats.

Pitch modulation on delay repeats is typically known

from older tape-echoes. Three styles of modulation can

be selected pressing the MOD STYLE button.

10 - Mix Level

Sets the overall mix between the dry signal and the

delay repeats.

Selectors

11 - Manual - In manual mode the pedal plays exactly

according to the position of the controls.

12 - Preset - In preset mode the pedal plays according

to the recalled preset. Therefore, if you come from

manual mode the position of the knobs may not match

the currently recalled values.

• Press PRESET once to enter preset mode.

The current preset number is shown. E.g. “P1”

• Press again immediately after to scroll through the

presets: P1, P2, P3......P9, P1, P2 etc.*

When going from manual mode to preset

mode, the position of the knobs probably does

not match the current values.

* It is also possible to scroll through presets using the

TAP TEMPO and ON/OFF switches. Please refer to

the manual section “Additional Features”
