User manual TC ELECTRONIC NR-1 NOVA REVERB

[. . . ] This means that the Nova Reverb will process exactly according to the current position of the controls. Preset mode can be accessed either from bypass state or from manual mode. In preset mode all LEDs will indicate the current settings, but the 5 knobs may not be positioned according to the stored values. As soon as you change the position of a knob the parameter value is updated according to the position. [. . . ] Play with the loudest* sound you use for a few seconds and watch some of the 5 LEDs turn off one by one. The pedal is now calibrated Reverb Types Reverb type and sub-type can be selected using buttons 11-15. Example: - Sub-types for "Spring" is: Plain, Classic and Vintage. 11 - Room Press ROOM to select between the following types of room reverbs: Small, Medium, Large and Tiled. Small - Medium - Large Three variations tuned to reproduce the sound of differently sized rooms. Tiled Room Often you'll want to get the "bathroom" effect, without actually wanting it to sound like you're playing in your bathroom. The Tiled Room reverb simulates the qualities of a small to medium sized tiled room with its many reflections and at the same time it behaves respectfully towards the original source material. Use it as an effect that adds quite a bit of color to your sound. · · · · * By your "loudest" sound we mean the sound with the highest dynamic content. This is most likely a clean sound as overdrive sounds per nature are compressed. 7 OPERATION 12 - Spring Press SPRING to select between the following types of spring reverb: Plain, Classic and Vintage. Plain Spring This reverb type is the least colored spring emulation included in the Nova Reverb. Compared to the Classic Spring and Vintage Spring types, Plain Spring is the most neutral sounding of the three. Classic Spring With the Classic Spring reverb you've got one of the best emulations of a classic spring reverb there is. We've spent a lot of time calculating and reinterpreting the behavior of a traditional spring reverb. Vintage Spring The Vintage Spring emulates the spring reverb types found in old guitar-amps. It is a bit more grindy compared to the Classic Spring and gives a very realistic old-school sound. 13 - Hall Press Hall to select between the following types of hall reverb: Small, Medium, Church, Classic and Concert. Small & Medium Two types of reverb tuned to reproduce the reflection patterns of small and medium-sized halls. Church A highly diffuse reverb that is recognizable for its emulation of the many hard surfaces of different shapes found in traditional church rooms. Classic Hall The reverb from many legendary TC products that gives you a rich spacious feel with plenty of air. If you feel you have the correct mix level while the reverb lacks significance, - try increasing color parameter. It simulates a rather large hall and it's stunningly good at preserving 8 OPERATION the original and natural characteristics of the source material. If you're looking for a sound with long decay times the Concert Hall is excellent and you'll get a large and broad sound that is very distinctive. [. . . ] This feature can be applied individually for manual or preset modes and is easily set up. The three LEDs above the HALL button (vintage, concert and gold), now indicated which mode you have selected. - Spill-over mode: the LEDs flash slowly - Mute mode: the LEDs flash rapidly. 10 SETUP EXAMPLE - MONO/STEREO MONO / STEREO OUTPUT (Left) Amp INPUT R output L mono Guitar Effects Technology R input mono L INPUT (Left) This setup illustrates how to use the Nova Reverb pedal in a mono setup (one amp only) or stereo setup (two amps).
