Beginning with an infatuation with noise and frequencies, the Danish duo of Kim and John Rishøj created TC Electronic in 1976. While TC initially only dealt with guitar pedals and effects, the evolution of technology and TC’s expertise has enabled the company to grow into a giant. Boasting employees in 15 countries, TC Electronic is now a major player in digital processing, recording, post-production and even video, although the heart of the company remains in guitar effects. The developers at TC recently took a classic – the TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay – and used it as a starting point for the new ND-1 Nova Delay, a pedal that redefines the phrase, “all good things come in small packages.” Built upon a time-tested foundation, the Nova Delay isn’t simply a retread of past success; the ND-1 offers some of the most innovative features available in today’s effects market. All-new Audio Tapping technology enables players to set the tempo of the delay by playing a rhythm into the pedal while holding down the Tap Tempo switch. Other Nova Delay features include the ability to choose between milliseconds and BPM readout; a Color control, which allows you to move between analog, digital and tape delay sounds; and delay spillover mode, which allows the delay repeats to continue, even when the preset or mode is changed.
The ND-1 Nova Delay also features:
- Six studio quality digital delay types
- Two switchable settings: manual and preset
- Nine user-programmable presets
- Up to 2290 ms delay time
