NOVA Dynamics – Contents Under Pressure
A high quality dual engine compression and noise gate stomp box, packed with never before seen functionalities:
NOVA Dynamics sets new standards for floor-based dynamics control. Its dual engine design offers a variety of setup
and control options that allow you to tailor NOVA Dynamics to fit your rig. Use the two engines for different
compression settings or switch between stomp compression for that classic “squash” and TC’s advanced multiband
compression for subtle, studio-style dynamics control. You can even split the NOVA Dynamics’ two engines, allowing
you to use a compressor in front of your amp and a noise gate in your amp’s effects loop for true noise reduction of
high gain signals. The Dry Blend feature lets you blend your dry signal in with the compressed signal. This gives you
an optimized attack without eating into the dynamics. At the same time, the automatic input gain adjustment on both
engines provides perfect settings for e.g. both a Strat and a Les Paul at the flick of a switch.
Brings control to any guitar rig
NOVA Dynamics Features

INTRODUCTION
SETUP EXAMPLE: MONO + DUAL PROCESSING
5
In this setup, the two engines can be used
individually or serially. You can use two
compressors, two noise gates, or one of each at
the same time.
• Connect your guitar to input A of the NOVA
Dynamics.
• Connect output A of the NOVA Dynamics to
the input of your guitar amp.
• Activate engine A and/or B and select the
desired compression type and/or noise gate
algorithm.
• That’s all!
Note: 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.

SETUP EXAMPLE: SINGLE INPUT – DUAL OUTPUT
In this setup, the guitar signal on input A is
fed to both engines A and B. This means that
the two channels are processed 100 %
separately.
Please note that this is not a stereo setup.
• Connect your guitar to input A of the
NOVA Dynamics.
• Connect output A of the NOVA Dynamics
to the input of one amp.
• Connect output B to the input of another
amp.
You can now use the two engines like two
completely separate pedals for processing
your guitar’s sound.
Note: 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.
