No longer available at zZounds
Get the full spectrum of delay effects with the six fully-adjustable, modulated, and tap-timed delays available on TC Electronic's Nova Delay pedal.

With 6 different stereo delay types and the option to store up to 9 presets customizable by an array of style parameters ranging from vintage tape to digital delay the TC Electronic Nova Delay pedal easily serves all delay requirements of modern guitar players who wanna create unique sounds.

Built upon the legacy and knowledge of TC's world-renowned TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay the ND-1 Nova Delay raises the bar for guitar effect pedals and redefines what it means to be "state-of-the-art". ND-1 Nova Delay offer uncompromised studio quality digital effects in a compact floor-based design.

The ND-1 Nova Delay pedal features 6 different delay types:
Delay line
Dynamic
Reverse
Ping-pong
Pan
Slap-back

Each of these types can be modified with a delay style - a unique feature of ND-1 Nova Delay that allows you to mix and match your delay type and style infinitely.

Both single delay and dual delay lines can be applied to any type and style using the tap tempo switch or delay time knob to determine the delay time that ranges from 1 to 2290 ms.

Three different types of modulation (light, medium and heavy) can be applied to any of the delay types - a feature originating from the legendary TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay processor.

The Audio Tapping technology enables you to set the tempo of the delay by playing a rhythm into the pedal while holding down the tap tempo switch. You can now set the tempo of the delay using your most important asset: Your playing.

Other great ND-1 Nova read more Delay features include the ability to choose between ms (milliseconds) and bpm (beats per minute) readout, decide if you want spillover on individual settings and turn global tempo - where tap tempo determines delay time on user presets - on and off.

I don't see any reason to buy another delay pedal as long as I have this one. And I would definitely replace this item with the same model if lost or stolen.
Sound
I replaced an old Line 6 Echo Park with this unit and the difference in sound quality is amazing. I no longer have a slightly muddied version of my tone -- it is crisp, bright and clear.
Features
I play a lot of U2, so a delay pedal is essential. The biggest selling point to me is the ability to store preset delay configurations on this pedal. I no longer have to try and "dial in" the exact delay time or settings I am looking for each time I play a different song. You can store up to 9 presets, and that is awesome. In addition, the LED readout of the exact delay time and other settings makes it very easy to see exactly what you are doing. Plus, you can color the tone of your delay by mixing between Tape to Analog and Analog to Digital.
Ease of Use
The overall controls are simple, but it is a brief learning curve to understand how they all function. Once you get through that, it's a piece of cake.
Quality
It's been said before and I agree -- this thing is a tank. Very rugged and built to last.
Value
I wish I would have purchased this item for my first delay pedal.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed support (and hopefully won't).
The Wow Factor
Based on the quality and experience I have had with this pedal, I am now looking to see what other products this company offers. It's that good.
