APPENDIX: CALIBRATING INPUT SENSITIVITY
Input Level Calibration
Your NOVA Modulator pedal is per default set to work
well right out of the box – just as any other “stompbox”
pedal. However, you can optimize the performance of the
NOVA Modulator’s AD/DA converters by calibrating the
input sensitivity. To do so, follow this step-by-step guide:
• 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 Modulator
pedal in the signal chain.
• Press and hold the MANUAL button until the 5
green button LEDs are lit.
• Play using your loudest* sound for a few seconds.
The LEDs will turn off one by one. How many
LEDs are turned off depends on the output of your
guitar. When there seem to be no more changes,
the pedal is calibrated.
• Press any button to exit.
• The calibration process is now complete.
* 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.
