INPUT LEVEL CALIBRATION
guitar. When there seem to be no more changes,
the pedal is calibrated.
Press any key to exit.
The pedal is now calibrated.
* By “loudest”, we mean the sound with the highest dynamic
content. This is most likely a clean sound, as by definition
overdrive sounds are compressed – i.e. they have less
dynamics.
** In single engine mode (nothing connected to input B), only
Engine A can be calibrated.
Manual Calibration
If you prefer to change the input gain manually, you
can.
Press and hold the ALGORITHM switch of the
engine for which you intend to change the input
gain.
All meter LEDs are lit briefly. After that, a single
LED will stay lit to indicate the current gain setting.
Now turn the LEVEL knob and adjust the gain
setting.
Press any key to exit.
Your NOVA Dynamics pedal is per default set to work
well right out of the box – just as any other “stomp box”
pedal. However, you can optimize the performance of
the NOVA Dynamics pedal’s AD/DA converters by
calibrating the input sensitivity.
Follow the step-by-step guide below for EACH of the
engines** – especially if you are using one engine
before the amp and one after the amp as described in
the “Pre & Post” setup example on page 7.
Automatic Calibration
Calibration of the input sensitivity should be set
according to the expected maximum input level.
Therefore, you should always start by turning on
boosters and other signal-attenuating equipment
that has been placed before the NOVA Dynamics
pedal in the signal chain.
Press and hold the ALGORITHM button, for the
engine you intend to calibrate**, until all Meter
LEDs (-2 to -24) are lit.
Play with your loudest* sound for a few seconds.
The nine LEDs will turn off one by one. How many
LEDs are turned off depends on the output of your
