pantherairsoft Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1332671539' post='1591311'] Suweeet. I'm particularly interested in your Nova Delay demo - I'm looking to buy a Nova Repeater soon (when I shift a few pedals I don't use any more) so I'm really interested to hear how the TC stuff sounds with Bass. Also, I'm hoping it will convince me that the Repeater is adequate and that I don't need to shell out extra for the Nova Delay! [/quote] The Repeater is pretty awesome too. It has the same core tones with a little less versatility - tape & analog are a setting of their own on the Repeater, rather than a tonal shift that can be applied to any of the settings on the Delay (So you can have tape reverse and analog reverse etc on the ND-1). The deal breaker for me was the presets. 9 storable presets that save exact BPM and settings... for what I do, thats been a life saver. My Boss DD-20 had 4 presets and I was struggling live to dial in new tempos. This has changed everything. Tonally, both the Repeater and the Delay sound awesome with bass. Quote
EskimoBassist Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I did figure that was the case. Normally I'll only use 2/3 different delay settings in a set and am used to just having the Boss DD-6, so changing the knobs is no dealbreaker for me - though I can see why it would be for you! At the price point, the Nova Repeater represents ridiculously good value for the money and the Nova Delay is well priced too, I think whichever I manage to score cheap on ebay or on here first will probably make the choice for me.

[/quote] Good call! If it's the DD-6 that you are used to then the Repeater would offer you a similar hi-fi sound with loads of extras as well, and is more reasonably priced. I saw Janek Gwizdala not long back and he uses the the Repeaterr over the Delay as he prefers the simplified approach... (he uses the flashback as well but as a looper). Quote
lxxwj Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Shep, you just introduced me to my new favorite delay.. the El Capistan. Thank you. ..I can't seem to find it anywhere though.. Edited March 25, 2012 by lxxwj Quote

[/quote] The Nova Repeater is a great pedal,I use mine quite a lot for solos. It doesn't have all of the programming of the Nova Delay, but unless you need that,it's no big deal. I basically just use the tap tempo function anyway. If you want to hear it on bass,check out Janek Gwizdala-he uses it a lot. Quote
woodyratm Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Righty - my new boards almost done - Just waiting on two other fx to complete it. I had to take off the DHA (after getting a psu for it too!) but I think I'm happy. No idea why it appeared sideways - its the right way on Photobucket! Chain goes like this:- Bass > Tuner > Feedback Loop > Amp Feedback loop > OC2 > Blender > EQ > Dubscope > Source Audio multiwave distortion > Source Audio BEF > IE Xenograph (with exp output) Blender loop a: Deep Impact Blender loop b: SFX Blue Dragon Blue Dragon Loop: Tech 21 XXL > IE Oxide. Or at least it will once it's all cabled/velcro'd. Got a Diago Powerstation on the way also Quote
woodyratm Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 havent had a chance to use it yet been away for work and was in new york. Once the other 2 pedals arrive they will all be road tested to within an inch of their lives. eBay and Basschat are evil websites for GAS hah Quote

(also this question goes to pantherairsoft re: Nova Delay). I know that both CAN be run at 9v but that input clipping can happen if you're running much boosted into it, which is why 12v is recommended for extra headroom. Quote

[/quote] I run mine at 12v with an SupaNova adapter from GigRig for loads of headroom. It worked on 9v but was a little bit noisy (on a shared supply), as such I have stuck with a 12v supply. Each Nova pedal come with a power supply though if you want to use a proper supply for that one. Quote

EskimoBassist Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Cheers for the advice regarding the Nova delay pedals. Here's a little something more on topic: I'm still deciding between the Proton and the Xerograph. An EP-2 should make that decision a little simpler though. Not a finished board, just thrown together on my new PT-2 quickly. Quote

Thor Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 The latest version of my board - still to change once I get my head round using the LS-2 and X-Blender together! And am hoping a B3K will be heading this way in the not too distant future... Quote
RichF Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) love seeing my old pedals on new boards. Looks great, Pete. Edited March 28, 2012 by RichF Quote
