The Nova Delay from TC Electronic was actually my first delay pedal. I bought it because it’s just what my friend told me to get. But I’m incredibly thankful I did.
Eventually I’d grow tired of it and move onto the Timeline, because everyone knows since the Timeline is more than twice the price of the Nova Delay it has to be better, right? False.
If you’re looking for crystal clear, U2/ Early Hillsong .8th delay, this pedal is for you. If you want incredible dual delay sounds and glassy repeats, this pedal is for you. If you dont need more than 9 presets, this pedal is for you.
It does that digital delay .8th sound better than my timeline can, I admit it.
But, if you want any other sound out of it, it becomes mediocre. The knob that lets you blend tape-analogue-digital basically works as a tone knob, it rolls off the high end of the repeats, it’s OK.
Overall, the Nova Delay is an amazing, amazing pedal.
