TC Electronic's Nova Repeater is a
'no-frills-with-a-sound-that-kills' delay pedal. It's perfect for
guitarists who want instant and unique results, without the fuss. It
features the same great sound quality that made the Nova Delay the
first choice delay pedal for Paul Gilbert, Doug Aldrich, Nils Lofgren,
and Allen Hinds. However, after listening to the guitar-playing
community TC Electronic trimmed out the excess baggage while also
including additional features over the Nova Delay, and designed it all
behind a streamlined and easy-to-use interface.
Nova Repeater
is all about simplicity. There are no hidden features or complicated
functions—you just get awesome delays in an affordable and easy-to-use
guitar pedal. Yet it is also feature-rich being the only pedal in its
price range that has a dedicated tap tempo switch and amazing audio
tapping technology that lets you set the tempo with your playing. And
with six types of TC-quality delays and an unsurpassed feature-set Nova
Repeater is quite simply a bargain.
Nova Repeater has three
delay time ranges labeled for both min, mid, and max positions. These
delay times have been carefully chosen to match the sweet-spot times
used by most guitar players, making it much easier for you to dial in
the perfect delay time—even without a display.
The TC Electronic
delay pedal features two inputs dedicated to instrument or line level
signals which means you can use it equally well in front of your amp or
in an effects loop. It also has a 'KillDry' switch that makes it
possible to use the pedal in a parallel effect loop and is also great
for guitar players who use a mixer to prevent their dry sound from
being processed. An FX.level pot lets you adjust the wet level of your
signal which means that you won't get annoying level drops on your dry
sound—a common problem with other guitar effect pedals.
The TC
Electronic Nova Repeater has a multifunction knob that lets you control
the amount of modulation as well as turn the effect on/off. The chorus
has been retuned making more dramatic modulation effects possible, and
a vibrato mode has been added. This was a major request among Nova
Delay users and makes it possible to emulate classic tape delay
wow-and-flutter or create lush modulated pads with a volume pedal.
Again,
taking on numerous user requests, TC Electronic added a dual delay—1/4
and 1/8 notes. This stereo delay is the secret behind Steve Lukather
80's sound—just make sure you set the delay time at exactly 400ms.
This
TC Electronic effect pedal also features an adaptive dynamic delay that
automatically sets the perfect threshold for the ducking. No
calibration is needed—even if you decide to turn up the volume during a
solo, Nova Repeater will automatically adjust the threshold on-the-fly.
