TC Electronic NM-1 Nova Modulator - Manual (Page 20)

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.
