EFFECT TYPES: PHASER

Although the NOVA Modulator effects have

been tuned to sound great with the knobs in 12 o’clock position you should note that setting the FEEDBACK knob to the 12 o’clock position with the Phaser selected results in NO feedback.

This may sound too tame compared to traditional stomp box pedal phasers. Experiment with either positive or negative settings.

TIME/FILTER Knob: Filter Parameter

Use the TIME/FILTER knob to set the number of filters used for the phaser. The variations are 4, 8 or 12 filters. The display will indicate the number of filters while you turn the knob. The fewer filters, the more “grainy” the effect. The more filters are used, the smoother the effect sounds.

Indication

4 – filters

8 – filters

12 – filters

Most “old-school” pedals use four filters.

+VARIATION Button

Use the VARIATION button to shift between high and low emphasis.

When the LED is “on” the emphasis is on the high frequencies. This gives a subtle, transparent Phaser that is not too dominant.

When the LED is “off” the emphasis is on the low-end frequencies and the phasing sound is a more pronounced, grindy “old-school” type.
