If anybody wonders about the always changing delaytime of the TC Nova Delay: It is special to the Nova, that its "Delay" knob is on "hold" on the 12-o-clock position. Being apart from that position it increases or decreases delaytime. More off is more faster. To stop it from travelling, you have to turn it back to the 12h position. Cheers!
Do You Know How to Program It ? Please Explain it To Me On Mine It Stop Ok But I Can't Figure How To Program Time to # Memory ? Thank's in Advance Yves.P.
@@Mr.Potato1962 Challenge accepted! 🙂 Nova Delay has nine memory presets: P1 to P9. If you press the button "preset" once, you are in preset mode. Now everytime you press preset button shortly again, you cycle through all the memorized presets from one to nine. (What ever I explain to you next, please also read the pasted exerpt of the manual - down below at the end - about the two "preset" states, controlled by the "type" button! Maybe this kinda solves the riddle already...) Routine 1: Given, you are in "preset mode": If you alter parameters of a selected preset now, you can store this variation in two steps: 1st step: (that´s the secret, not clearly written in the manual/read edit down below) At first holding down "type" button for a moment, until green "preset button"-led blinks slowly (*)! Release "type" button. 2nd step: Now just hold down the "preset button" for about 4 seconds long, until the three "mod style" LEDs blink one time after another in a row. (*) if that leads to a sudden change of the delaytime, from manual section, tweak wished delaytime back again. EDIT: Important - I found an explanation on page 15 of the manual, that explains the behaviour - there´s a choice! I paste it for you down below my comment here! I prefer Routine 2: Storing direct from manual mode. (But still please read excerpt of manual down below!) Routine 2: You can store ALL currently active parameters, when you are in "manual mode" !!! (whatyouheariswhatyoustore). Just press "preset button" for about four seconds. But the thing is, that it overwrites the last preset, that was active, when you had been in the preset mode. In other words: If you want to be sure, which exact preset number you gonna overwrite with your current manual delay-setting, then first please select a preset in "preset mode". Let´s say, for instance: "P3". After that, you go back to "manual mode" and do all the tweaks to your liking! Ok, let´s say, you like your delay-setting, because its awesome, and you are still in "manual mode": Now just press "preset"-button for 4 sec. until those LEDs once blink.., and it will be stored into "P3"! So, everytime you want to play that memorized preset you just created, go back to "preset mode" and push the preset button repeatedly until the display reads: "P3" - and there you should have it. Hope that helps, cheers, Marco! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW: I prefer the TC Nova Repeater over the ND-1 for it´s better and simpler user interface - (but not only). Sure, it´s got no memory, but that´s fine for me, I don´t need it personally. Only drawback is that the Repeater has got no Stereo Ins, so I´m keeping my Nova Delay only for stereo keyboard stuff.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE THE ND-1 MANUAL, PAGE 15 pasted!!: "Tap Tempo Modes The Nova Delay always has one global tempo. This tempo is either tapped in via the TAP TEMPO switch, audio tap or dialed in via the DELAY knob. Manual mode In manual mode it is always the global tempo that applies. PRESET MODE: When switching from manual mode to preset mode you can set up WHETHER it is the delay time stored in the preset OR the global tempo, that should apply. (!!!) As explained earlier the actual delay time also depends on the selected sub-division. To switch between using the stored delay time or the global tempo when entering preset mode: • Go to preset mode by pressing PRESET. • Press and hold “TYPE” for 1 second. (!!!) - STEADY preset key LED indicates that you are using the global tempo. (!!!) - FLASHING preset key LED indicates that you are USING THE STORED DELAY TIME." (!!!)
Way Huge Pork Loin is the overdrive I suggest for Addison. I don’t know why it is so overlooked. Clean blend plus internal trim pots... It’s big and silky and clean and it rips.
These "new and notable" videos are my favorite thing here. I get to know what is new but most importantly what is "notable" because there must a new guitar pedal coming out every hour or so. Also i know that i'll get to hear how they honestly sound because you guys do this for fun, unlike so many guitars channels who only worry about what free stuff they will get from companies. But of course above everything else i love these videos because you guys are awesome, as usual 🙂
When I was a kid I hung around, endlessly, this ma and pa guitar store. Bugging guys for licks, talking about records, learning. These guys have that same vibe, like your visiting with geek music friends. It's very cool and they deserve the success.
Addison, my "perfect overdrive" is 2 pedals together. A Catalinbread Epoch Pre (discontinued) and a Greer Lightspeed. They sound great together. I leave the Epoch Pre always-on at the edge of breakup, and use the Lightspeed to push it over the edge. These are usually going into an AC-style amp, but they sound good in cleaner platforms too.
After the switch, with the ZIO active; Loved how the upper notes retained a reasonably clean ring while the lower intervals hit overdrive with complimentary overtones.
Pitch vibrato modulation is the “final tree in a bob ross painting” of pedals. Got a decent guitar, good setup, intonation perfect, sweet amp, clean & noiseless signal path, perfectly tuned guitar using a strobe tuner - now lets slap a big tree over 1/3 of the lovely landscape we painted. 😆
Great as always. So, this is for Addison, but my suggestion for a dirt pedal would be the Okko Diablo. As someone who has an old gooped one and has tried the new ones I can honestly say the old ones are what you’re after. The new ones are alright. I think smooth edge describes them well but you can do literally anything with it. So there you go.
Oooh, I totally agree with Thomas about the Way Huge Pork Loin (plus it’s got the best name ever). Way hugely underrated. I’d also suggest trying the Looking Glass by DOD and Shoe pedals. Super versatile and plays extremely well with others. You may well be looking for a couple drives stacked. Anyway, thanks for the memories, man!!
I settled on an mi audio super crunch box v2. I tried the Friedman BE and dirty Shirley pedals a bunch of others but I found the switching on the mi audio SCB v2 did a lot of different things. It has 4 band eq bass mid treb and presence (it's a Marshall in a box pedal) gain and vol but the switches. 2 tri switches one is clipping level, like a headroom level hence affecting gain that way and the other switch is gain level. I can get clean boost to crunchy overdrives to high gain distortion. My favourite clipping level is the open setting (very smooth but if you use your volume control it can blow your head off volume wise). It has the smoothest tone but hard to control volume wise. The highest gain mode on the other switch gets super smooth lead tones. The middle clipping mode is the most user friendly in terms of controlling volume and you can set the gain switch to clean boost, crunch or high gain more to taste but the volume/gain cleanup roll is very controllable using the guitar vol pot. All the switches are on the outside so no need to open and adjust with trim pots to increase/decrease gain range and the clipping switch helps fine tune the response - all done with the switches. I've heard it compared to the angry Charlie but with a 3 gain mode switch and a 3 clipping headroom switch, which allows it to get a huge variety of sounds. Hope that helps
If anyone wants a really great colorsound overdrive variant, the BAT Black Forest is awesome. It has a 6 way rotary "depth" knob to allow more bass frequencies so at the deeper settings the fuzz aspect of the pedal gets really wild and gnarly.
44:00 I have found tone Nirvana after the same search. I use a Thorpy Dane into a SolidGoldFX Commodore(BB circuit). It is heaven. the stages of gain offer so many tones. And I will sprinkle in a JRockett Ikon Klon. Or a Hermida Zendrive clone(a Joyo Taichi R series believe it or not it is insane good)
Addison: For your consideration, my #1 recipe is a Dumble-esque mix of pedals from J. Rockett. Here's the gain stack, in order: the always-on pedal is a Blue Note; next is the Touch overdrive; and the amp-in-a-box is The Dude. It's the sound I've been seeking for a l-o-n-g time. If you want lighter, sweeter overdrive, try the Cusack Screamer in the second position.
JHS Double Barrell is literally my favorite tone ever. If you haven't discovered this pedal already as a JHS employee I just don't know what to say....
Nice to see the ColorSound PowerBoost getting some love! I have a clone of one, allegedly hand made by the founder of a sadly out of business boutique pedal company in the UK (BranTone?). I absolutely love it; you can come come close with others, but you can’t nail that “glassy” Gilmour DSOTM-WYWH tone without one. I understand it’s a fairly simple circuit; I’m surprised there aren’t more clones of it (HINT- a JHS version perhaps?!!).
Addison should try a Ratted-Timmy, which is a Timmy into a Rat (say it like Ratatouille). Using the Timmy as like a dirty boost to warm up your clean tone and the rate for high gain.
Cool show as always - dig the new format! Hey Addison, ever tried the Big Joe Stomp Box Company Empire B-502? It's a super versatile Dual Preamp Overdrive with pne of the best sounding buffers (I know how stupid that sounds - just try it!) I've ever heard. Plus it's one of the most flexible drives out there. Got it initially becuase it looked cool, but it's hands down the one overdrive I use most, 'cause it can basically do anything, wit any amp and guitar.
Addison! I absolutely love the Plumes on guitar AND bass, but that's not what I think you should try. Get your hands on a Dunes! It's essentially a smaller section of the Palisade from EQD. Adds a brightness and bandwidth toggle compared to the plumes, the latter of which boosts bass which is awesome for you guessed it, bass! Still a fantastic guitar pedal, it's a more versatile Plumes and versatility is what the Plumes is known for!
I got one of the first few boxes from Tru-Fi effects and got a purple Super Fuzz!! Just had to flex! Dude makes some really solid pedals and this super Fuzz is awesome! 🤘
Dear Addison, my overdrive search ended with the Fender Smoulder. It’s an acoustic overdrive but i use it with electric. I would hope that Josh could analyze it and tell me what it is that makes me love it so much.
Addison, try a Joyo Roll Boost, into a BD2 at high drive, into a EQD Plumes at low drive. This was the tone I finally found, that I love. And then convince Josh to make a single pedal with this tone. Thank you.
The Nova Delay & Nova Repeater have been on my mind for years. Now they are on my board., Yay. Zio is always on my mind. We wants one. Preciousssss booossst
TC Nova series are great-sounding boxes and undervalued on the used market, imo. The dynamic delay is my jam, but I use the simpler, no-presets Nova Repeater, which has a more focused feature set. I use mine with a J Rockett APE which means I can have an Echoplex EP3 sound with reverse delay, which is insane.
The Past FX Chorus Ensemble offerings would be my choice for drive as well to think outside the box. They have the standalone preamp but people would use their Bosses with output maxed as a secret weapon drive, and even Josh with all his pedals may not have a CE1 that's 100% functional
Dear Addison, EHX HOT WAX Set the Hot Tubes side to 'edge of break up', set the Crayon's gain to taste and its level at 9 o clock so the HT side clipping doesn't erase the clipping from the Crayon, and blend your clean tone to taste! And after your brain breaks with happiness I'll take my thanks in the form of a Haunting Mids :)
I loved this episode so much. Addison, I’ve been enjoying the JRad IKON, it’s clean yet dirty, clarity yet lo-fi. I’m sure you’ve tried the real Klon so #shrugemoji.
Addison, my suggestions for guitar overdrives are Wampler Euphoria, Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive, Keeley 1962x, Greer Lightspeed, King Tone Heavy Hand, Poison Noises Dirt Nap, and Sarno Earth Drive. I'm sure you've tried some of these already, but I think they're all great!
Leftfield suggestion for Addison: Ibanez Bass Stack. A Ratlike with clean bleed. Surprisingly good on guitar, and very expressive drive at low gain. Second suggestion: Crowther Hotcake. Just joyful to play through. Almost every setting is sweet. Warm British blues through to Malkmus.
Dear Addison, what a great question, the overdrive that might feed your soul… Dear Nick good point that he didn’t describe what he’s looking for at all at first lol But to answer your question have you played with Nobels ODR-1? I am sure you have but you should revisit it. I recently got into it and love playing it. I think it really has a nice fuller sound and cool tone control. My favorite always on overdrive for a while was Full-Drive 2 w Mosfet in “Comp Cut” toggle setting. The most clear biting tone.
Addison as much as it is a meme, I love tube pedals and tube overdrives 😛 Currently on the Vahlbruch Kaluna. I would love a whole episode on the Power Driver it’s such a fascinating pedal to me!
Addison, please give the Bondi Sick As a try. It’s klon like and sounds very amp like to my ears with the toggle switched to the less compressed setting. Pairs amazing with a morning glory also as Josh would probably tell you. Enjoy!
"These pedals have been on my mind" is a feeling. Sometimes you just need to hear a tone. Also, Addison I have the pedal you seek. You do not have this pedal, but we can make it happen.
It would be SUUUPER cool if you did an episode showcasing Nick Greer's pedals - they are friggin' awesome. I have 4 of 'em and notable of those (for me) are the Relic Drive and the amp in a box Brown Bomber. Maybe you have more? Like the Sweetback Driver or something and/or all those other ones during his beginning "Sharpie era" days...
As a Nova Delay owner, watching the pedal slowly reduce your delay time cuz' you're not on the delay time knob center detente, kinda' drives me a little crazy. Great sounding pedal, though, and I am very fond of the Nova Modulator, too.
Great show, killer pedals, the Zio is sick...may be the coolest thing I've heard since the Timmy pedal. I was so glad you got rid of the PRS Silver Sky and grabbed the Bilt...I'm just not a fan of those guitars, I've watched a lot of review videos on em wanting to like em but I've yet to hear them sound good and I know it's not the tuning issue with the old strings making it sound bad to my ears, I think it's the pick-ups, they seem like a pickup that just doesn't know what it wants to be...they don't sound stratty, they don't sound like a tele but they exist in that plane of single coils that again, to MY ear, just don't know what they want to be and what they are isn't pleasant.
Awesome vid; I've been wondering something... if I use a stereo out from stereo pedal and use a trs cable, plug it into the turn, will the Tuner out still be in stereo? The tuner's out will also be using a trs balanced cable.
Addison should check out the new solid gold commodore… my favourite drive set up right now is a road runner from echo line (a very transparent drive) with a haunting mids before it to basically make a choose your own adventure Mid push… it’s great
45:30 : Jan Ray, Timmy, KOT, Eternity, Kalamazoo, Blue Note, lightspeed, southland, morning glory, ODR-1, Broadcast, zendrive, and so much more. How come you not find the overdrive you need. There are millions of amazing OD circuits out there.
Hey Addison. I've gone through so many overdrives and each time I think this new one is the one, I come across another pedal or go round in circles. For a while now I've gone back to running a Ibanez Tubescreamer into a Fulltone OCD. Great combination, but also great on their own.
@@cdclaxton You will see: Dan is making a pedalboard for a friend and has some ideas about it, why he chooses the order of pedals for him like this. Still it hasn´t to apply for everybody...
I've been running the strong mod on the Bonsai into the OCD for a while now. Just got a tumnus to get a similar sound without the low end cut for rhythm.
