No-frills, Killer-sounding Stereo Delay!

Get ready for the Nova Repeater's super-sophisticated stereo delay and modulation. This powerful effects pedal is loaded with six different types of professional delays and multi-delays. There are also a tap tempo switch and TC Electronic's amazing audio-tapping technology, which lets you set the tempo with your playing. In addition to delay, the Nova Repeater sports a re-tuned TC-quality chorus and a new vibrato mode, so you can emulate classic tap effects and lush modulated pads. If you dig the Nova Delay, you'll love the next-generation TC Electronic Nova Repeater.

  • Powerful delay and dual-delay effects — controlled via tap tempo or innovative audio tapping
  • Paves the way for dramatic modulation effects, in the style of classic tape delay
  • Adaptive dynamic delay auto-sets the perfect threshold for the ducking
  • KillDry switch lets you keep your dry signal intact in a parallel effects loop

The famous Nova Delay — revamped, streamlined, and upgraded
To develop the Nova Repeater, TC Electronic took feedback from guitarists who use and love the Nova Delay. TC trimmed out features many players didn't use, while packing in even more user-requested power, to make their idea of the ultimate lean, mean delay machine.

Powerful delay and dual-delay effects — controlled via tap tempo or innovative audio tapping
The Nova Repeater is a no-fuss, plug-in-and-play kind of delay pedal. The six included delay and dual-delay types feature carefully chosen delay ranges, chosen to match the sweet spot times used by most guitar players. That way, you can easily dial in the perfect delay time — even without a display. To set your time, you can use the Nova Repeater's dedicated tap tempo switch. Or, you can use TC Electronic's cool audio-tapping feature. Just strum the delay time, and the Nova Repeater will listen and set the delay.

Paves the way for dramatic modulation effects, in the style of classic tape delay
On the Nova Repeater, TC Electronic went ahead and re-tuned the chorus, making way for seriously dramatic modulation effects. Plus, TC added a new vibrato mode. Now, you can emulate classic tape delay "wow-and-flutter" effects, or create huge modulated pads using a volume pedal. A multi-function knob lets you control the amount of modulation as well as turn the effect on or off.

Adaptive dynamic delay auto-sets the perfect threshold for the ducking
The Nova Repeater features TC Electronic's brand-new adaptive dynamic delay — it sets the perfect threshold for the ducking. You won't have to calibrate anything, even if you decide to turn up the volume during a solo. Nova Repeater will auto-adjust the threshold on the fly.

KillDry switch lets you keep your dry signal intact in a parallel effects loop
Onboard the Nova Repeater there are two inputs — dedicated to instrument or line-level signals. That means you can use the Nova Repeater in front of your amp or in an effects loop. Then, the Nova Repeater features a KillDry switch, so you can use the pedal in a parallel effect loop — it's especially handy for those guitarists who use a mixer to prevent their dry sound from being processed. There's also an FX.Level pot, which lets you adjust the wet level of your signal, so you won't get annoying level drops on your dry sound — a common problem with delay pedals.

TC Electronic Nova Repeater Stereo Delay and Modulation Guitar Effects Pedal Features:
  • Lean, mean, stereo delay pedal with chorus and vibrato modulation
  • Features six essential delay types with sweet spot delay ranges
  • Control tempo via a tap tempo switch or via innovative audio-tapping feature
  • Two inputs — instrument or line-level — for using in front of your amp or in a loop
  • KillDry switch keeps your dry sound from coming through
  • Can summon dramatic modulation effects for classic tape delay wow-and-flutter
  • Adaptive dynamic delay auto-sets the perfect ducking threshold on the fly

The TC Electronic Nova Repeater is a brute stereo delay effects pedal!

My favorite pedal!

by John K. from Oklahoma, USA
February 17, 2011
Music Background: 30+ years playing acoustic and electric
After playing this for about a year, I find new things every day on this pedal to love! Bought it primarily for the quarter+dotted-eighth pattern to cop some Edge and Gilmour vibe, and I needed tap t... read more [+]empo, which is perfect on this pedal. But this unit is SO much more than that! The "studio" setting is a perfect, pure, pristine digital delay, but the analog and tape settings are just lush! The modulation settings are also a huge benefit for so many different applications. Just an incredibly valuable pedal to me. close [-]

One BadA$$ M'er F'er

Previously I have never owned a product by TC.

FYI, the pedal is inline , in the fx chain on my board, in the front of my Fender BDRI, not thru the fx loop.

I have to sa... read more [+]y, I'm floored by the quality. The ducking, is second to none, smooth on/off switching, no clicks what so ever.

Very transparent all around, noiseless, when the effect is on, the output level does not drop at all.

The Chorus, Vibrato, Type, Division , Tap Tempo is a bonus to have as well.

Oh , yea. Did I mention the Adaptive Ducking? Just, WOW.

I was so sold on it, I've already ditched my Line6 DL4 (BRICK), which has been a staple in my effects chain for the past 3 years. See ya Line 6! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Nothing beats a hardware delay. And the TC Electronic Nova Repeater gives you all the delays most guitarists and keyboard players need. Plus, the price is just ridiculouly low for something that sounds this good!
Brian Cravens
This is a great delay pedal, and offers the options that guitarists need the most. I like to use it in the "tape" mode, which allows the sound to degrade w repeats, just like the good old analog stuff. The tap/tempo is spot on, and the LED lights are easy to see in any environment. It is now the ONLY delay on my pedalboard!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
