SETUP EXAMPLE: MONO + DUAL PROCESSING

5

In this setup, the two engines can be used
individually or serially. You can use two
compressors, two noise gates, or one of each at
the same time.

Connect your guitar to input A of the NOVA
Dynamics.

Connect output A of the NOVA Dynamics to
the input of your guitar amp.

Activate engine A and/or B and select the
desired compression type and/or noise gate
algorithm.

That’s all!

Note: For best signal to noise ratio, calibrate the
pedal according to the level of the input signal.
For further information, refer to this manual’s
“Calibration” section.
