Topic: Post Your Nova System Setup

Hi all.

Thought I would post a pic of my nova system setup that I've recently setup. If anyone wants to do the same feel free I'm always interested to see what another people have done with their nova system and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Michael,

Hi it's a pedal-train 2. I just got some Velcro from my local hardware store  and put the 4 strips down on each of the pedal train's sections. Seems to work pretty well except for closing the lid of the case I had to take some of the foam out of the top half of the lid to close the flight case. I'm thinking of relining it with something else cause its pretty bear at the moment.

I am really pleased with nova I have a g system too which is so heavy when taking it to rehearsals and gigs. i still get those great sounds but now its a bit more portable lol

Hope that answers your question

Cheers

Paul

Oh and if you are uploading pics u have link and upload them from another site. I use www.photobucket.com

Hope that helps too

@thesnue:
correct, you have to upload the image elsewhere and embed it.

@paulg2uk:
very convenient isn't it? there's the right guitar, the right amp AND the right effects board for every situation! guess this here is also your compact rig?!

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

It sure is my compact rig and I'm glad I bought it. I have a g system too but its getting too heavy and big to play some of these small venues I play so the nova is ideal it sounds just like the g system. I'm seriously thinking of selling it now Something tells me it will probably be gathering dust under my bed for the next few months lol.

So re is this your compact rig? What sort of amp are you using?

Cheers

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

My rig is compact concerning number of devices. I was using (and still am using) a lot of single effects and was hoping to simplify things, less cables, less space, more convenient settings especially with delays and modulations, etc... And it works great with the nova. I'm very happy!

I'm usually playing a Fender HotRod and this one goes very well with the nova. Sometimes I'm fooling around on the Orange Tiny Terror which is of course less versatile - but fun!
I'm having an eye on the Bogner Alchemist at the moment.

And you?

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

I have a Mesa Road King which I've had for a number of years I use an RJM amp gizmo to change channels via midi works like a charm. i was considering buying a mesa lonestar combo I saw andy timmons use one and it sounds amazing really great clean sound. I need to try one out really but its the same old money issue will have to do some serious saving lol

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Hey Paul,

I do not have a board for mine yet, but I will post my setup tomorrow.   

I really like your board.  I checked it out on-line today!

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

OK, Here is my very simple setup.  I still need a board for this.  I used a POD before and all I needed was it floor controller.

The tin-can looking pedal is a shredder pedal I built and then modded from BuildYourOwnClone.com.  If you like to build I really recommend these kits.

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Michael,

Just out of interest what's the g switch like to work with? I'm thinking of getting one. Is it true you can use the g switch to go through presets and then use the nova to switch on and off whichever effect block you want?

Cheers

Paul

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Hi Paul,

The G-Switch is quite nice.  Yes, You can use the three buttons to switch instantly between presets in a given bank and then use the NS to turn on and off effects.  On the Switch you can hold down the "1" to go down a bank and the "3" to go up a bank.  I love it.

I basically setup my presets so that in each bank the 1 is clean, 2 is dirty, 3 is full on drive.  Then depending on the song set I am on I go from bank to bank. 

I bought mine on a scratch and dent for like $35.

Hey Even I have a G-Switch and it does perform it's work as mentioned but the switches on it are not as smooth like in any other stomp box/ pedal.

I do not know the reason for this.

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Hi,

Thanks for your advice guys. I have updated my pedalboard and added a g switch, which is really nice. I can go through my presets on the g switch and turn effects on and off on the fly on the nova excellent.

Here's an updated pic of my board

Re: Post Your Nova System Setup

Here is my Nova Rig! I use the EV-5 for Expression controlling Panner, Tremolo Speed, Whammy etc... I have Nova set to Play Mode (Stomp Box Mode) for more flexibility. The Wah is a $40 wah modded w/ the Area 51 Wah Kit. I use the Xotic BB for "cleaner" distortion tones and for a bit extra kikkkk in my leads combined with the Nova Sys' Drive. I use the Holy Fire for a fatter "clean" distortion and again combined with Nova's Drive. Both the BB and the Holy Fire have very unique tonal qualities that are very "musical" and responsive. When combined with the Drive from Nova it just sings. All wired with George L's cable and mounted to an aluminum board that fits in a nice bag along with cables from guitar and 2 out to amps. Very "cary-on" friendly for flying and doing "fly" gigs. So when I do gigs, clinics, and sessions where I can't bring the G-System Rig this thing rules!

I still love the G-System but this is very convenient and light!

Hey Vince.  Nice to see you here and nice to see another Parker player using the NS cool.  (I thought I recognised the name from the Parker Forum)

To keep in with the thread, I would show you my set up but as I only use the NS and a boogie channel switch, and I think you all know what they both look like, there is little point big_smile
