I think those are all the patches that everyone has posted across the forum so far. Please add yours if I missed it.

yossarian,

Your patch is great.  Quite versatile depending on the pick-up and Gtr volume too.  I love it Thank you!  As a side note, I used the other night during a practice for a lead i was doing.  The second part of the lead needed some more gain so I clicked on my external drive pedal.  WOW!  The gain & delay from your patch along with the external pedal created an beautiful hi-gain sustaining dream!

Just as an FYI, I played through a Parker Fly and a Les Paul.  Both use Duncan Customs.  Amp:  Rivera 30 Watt Tube Combo and a Fender Lux through a 2x12.

That's part of the issue with posting patches. Amp, guitar, pickups, and any extra stuff in the mix can make a HUGE difference in how something sounds. It's pretty good on my rig though. Hope you can use that as a base line to get the sound you're looking for.

Also, with respect to the delay. I didn't really hear a lot of delay in the recording I was using. It may well be how he's getting that "big" sound, but I used the reverb instead.

Hi All,

I needed a Metallica sound last night in a pinch.  I grabbed the F5-3 - Thrash Rhythm and altered the setting a tad:

Drive: 28
Tone: 12 - 16
Level: -1
Boost:  6 - 8  (I went to 10 at one point and the boost with the higher bass in the EQ just about pushed me over.)

The result was amazing.  The tone has a huge bottom, nice balanced top.  The bass notes are tight (not flopping in the wind).  You may need to play with your tone depending on your amp. 

I set this is up with one patch on sparkle clean and then another with the above.  I use the G-Swtich for fast switching on patches.  It was "Enter Sandman" and "Breadfan" goodness.

Just joined the forum... in the works to buy a Nova... and I must say this sharing of patches ROCKS!!!  Thanks to everyone who is contributing!

Out of curiosity, is there any reference documentation providing the settings for the factory preset patches?

Jawa,  (call me Gary, please!)

Sorry I wasn't clear.  I don't have the system, yet, and I am a complete and utter novice.  What I was hoping for was something I could print out that would let me compare the patch settings and gain some kind of understanding of how and to what extent the parameters are tweaked and (after I get the system), gain some understanding as to how those tweaks alter the sound.

Of course, I could just wait until I get mine and do as you say, check out the settings in the menu.  I just thought it would be useful to have the information compiled in an easily accessible format.

Thanks, Michael.  It's a shame, but I guess you can't have everything...

I already pulled Peter Thorn's settings off the web site, and will take a copy of the patches that have been shared in this thread.  Now, all I need is Nova so I can start fooling around with it!

Hey, Michael,

Don't have it, yet.  My brother will order it for me from the US and have it shipped to Japan.  Hopefully, I'll get it before the end of the month (especially since my b'day is the 24th!)

I've read virtually all of the posts on the forum, though, and this is a terrific resource!  It has done an incredible job building my excitement about getting the system.

FYI, as a guitar hack (never gig), I'll probably have the least professional system of anyone using NS!  It'll be a Blade R-4 Classic (before the rerelease) --> expression pedal (to be purchased - most likely the EBjr) --> NS --> (get this!) Marshall G15RCD!

Too bad I had to get rid of my (what I think was called) Mesa 22 Caliber.  It simply had too much power to play in a Japanese apartment - would blow down the wall between my apartment and the next!  But I miss the tube sound.  Although, honestly, I'm not too concerned about feeding the NS into a solid state amp.  I'm sure it will do anything I need it to. 

It will be interesting to see how the variable spectrum controller on the Blade before the NS will impact the sound...

As for sounds I'd like to emulate, does anyone know how to produce the sound Jerry Garcia used to get playing in the JGB?  The best way I can describe it is "planky".  You really get the sense that his instrument is made of wood.
