INTRODUCTION Nova Modulator – Creativity Enhanced Never before have all of TC’s acclaimed modulation effects been packed into a single stompbox. With seven stellar effects including the brand new Tri-Chorus and Through-Zero-Flanger, Nova Modulator gives you all the modulation effects you’ll ever need – and then some. This is an effects pedal for the guitarist who has come to terms with the basics of guitar effects and is now on the lookout for the icing on the cake. With its Dual Engine design,

SETUP EXAMPLE: MONO This is a standard mono setup consisting only of your guitar, your amp and the NOVA Modulator. • Connect your guitar to the left input (L) of the NOVA Modulator. • Connect the left output (L) of the NOVA Modulator to the input of your amp. We recommend placing the NOVA Modulator pedal in the signal path after distortion/overdrive pedals. For best signal to noise ratio, calibrate the pedal according to the level of the input signal. For further information, refer to this manua

SETUP EXAMPLE: STEREO This is a classic stereo setup, giving you all the benefits of the NOVA Modulator’s stereo effects. • Connect your guitar to the left input (L) of the NOVA Modulator. • Connect the left output (L) of the NOVA Modulator to the input of one amp, and the right output (R) to another amp. For best signal to noise ratio, calibrate the pedal according to the level of the input signal. For further information, refer to this manual’s “Calibration” section. 6

SETUP EXAMPLE: MODULATOR IN LOOP In this setup, we operate the NOVA Modulator in the effects loop of a combo amp (i.e., after the preamp section, before the power amp). • Connect your guitar to the amp’s input. • Connect the amp’s effect send to the left input of the NOVA Modulator. • Connect the left output of the NOVA Modulator to the amp’s effect return. For best signal to noise ratio, calibrate the pedal according to the level of the input signal. For further information, refer to this manua

SETUP EXAMPLE: STEREO LOOP SETUP In this setup, we use the pre-amp from one of the combo amps to generate the basic sound and the NOVA Modulator to split the signal into stereo. Please note that by connecting one of the Modulator’s outputs to the return jack of amp B, we only use the power amp section of that second amp. • Connect your guitar to the input of amp A. • Connect amp A’s effect send to the left input of the NOVA Modulator. • Connect the left output of the NOVA Modulator to amp A’s ef

EFFECT TYPES: FLANGER +VARIATION Button The +VARIATION button allows you to select between two distinct flavors of tape flanging effects: negative and positive summing. The button essentially flips the phase of the "flanged" signal 180 degrees, creating radically different sounds particularly when the two signals are mixed together. With negative summing (+VAR “off”) the delayed signal is phase reversed resulting in severe frequency cancellations as the two signals get closer to the zero point.
