TC Flashback or Nova nd-1 ?

[nado64]

Hello, I hesitate greatly between these two pedals.
Which is the more convenient in gig ?
Which has the better sound ?

For used pedals, the price for the FlashBack is 110 euros,
and for the Nova is 140 euros. So, the price is not the matter.

I never had the ND but I had the NR and I currently have the Flashback. I like digital delay and the Flashback in the 2290 setting sounds as good as the NR (and the ND I assume).

The Flashback is much smaller. 9v and true bypass. The ND should do some stuff the Flashback doesn't. If you don't need the extra features I think the Flashback should be a better option. Can you try both side by side?

Thank you Jorge, finally, I bought a nova sytem.

I received it yesterday afternoon.
For the moment I'm completely lost with the device.
I have a better delay sound with my berhinger vd400.

I enjoy playing with knobs, but :
Too much settings kill the settings...

Man that Nova System is sure hard to dial... took me a week to take the sound I wanted but in the end sounded great. I sold it to a friend because due to several trades I ended up with an extra reverb pedal and an extra eq / boost pedal. Since I was mainly using those effects and delay with the NS I sold the NS and got a used DD6.

But the NS is a great concept - with a Gator mixer bag it's a very easy and light way to have a lot of effects. But it's tough to learn how to use it...

Do you remember the settings of your main preset ?

say yes... say yes... say yes..

I might... It's actually with a friend of mine, he liked it a lot and didn't changed it. I will ask him and tell you (I think output range was 2 and input gain 24, serial routing).

I remeber I used clean delay, probably around 300ms / 400ms, feedback 50% and mix 20%. Reverb hall and probably 25% mix... This is what I remember!

Good luck!

Got a Nova Delay too, and I also find difficult to dial.
