Based on the seminal 2290 delay, TC Electronic has issued an update in the form of the ND-1 Nova Delay, a feature-rich delay pedal with six delay types. With a further nod to the past, the pedal has 2290 ms of delay time with modulation options. Manual operation is available in addition to nine presets.
Tempo can be input manually, set by tapping the tap tempo switch, or by allowing the unit to auto-set based on one's playing style. With Delay Spillover delays will ring out even if you switch preset, switch to manual mode or bypass the pedal. Additionally, a color setting adjusts the delay style from on the nose digital timing to a more relaxed tape style vibe.
