Your tone is everything

The sensation of weight, the grandiose design and
overall build quality instinctively tell you that the Nova
pedals aren’t just ordinary stompboxes. They are so
much more – the essence of your tone!

Built upon the legacy and knowledge of TC’s world­renowned effects processors the Nova pedals raise the
bar for guitar effect pedals and redefine what it means
to be “state-of-the-art”. The NR-1 Nova Reverb offer
uncompromised studio quality effects in a compact
floor-based design.

Similar to the Nova Delay, the Nova Reverb is a
voucher for the undisputed tonal quality only known
from TC products. This pedal offers you 5 different
stereo reverb types from the warm vintage sounding
Classic Spring to the pristine and stunningly realistic
TC Classic Hall. Reverb just doesn’t come any better
than this.

Nova Reverb Main Features:

• 5 studio-quality stereo reverb types

• Two switchable modes: Manual and Preset

• DynaMix™ - dynamic ducking reverb
