Switches and Knobs
6 – OVERDRIVE Knob
This knob controls the amount of overdrive for the
overdrive section.
7 – LEVEL Knob
Use this knob to control the level of NOVA Drive’s
overdrive section.
8 – TONE Knob
Use this knob to shape the overdrive section’s tone.
Turn the TONE knob to the left for a darker sound and
to the right for a brighter sound.
9 – MIX Knob
With this knob, you can set a mix between the clean
signal and the processed (“driven”) signal. When set
correctly, this will sound as if you played over both a
clean amp and a drive amp simultaneously – a trick
often used in studio recordings for more punch and
transparency. We find it works best with single-coil
pickups for blues/rock.
