12 – TREBLE Knob
This knob controls the high-end frequencies for the
distortion section. Turn it clockwise to increase treble
and counterclockwise to reduce it.

14 – >< LED Arrows
NOVA Drive is 100% analog, but the sound circuits are
digitally controlled. When you switch to a new preset,
the recalled values are most likely not the same as the
values represented by the current knob positions.
As soon as you start turning a knob, one of the “><”
arrow LEDs will indicate which way this knob should be
turned to locate the position corresponding to the
current value. The closer you are to the correct
position, the faster the arrow LEDs will blink.
When the knob is in the position that matches the
stored value, both arrow LEDs will be lit for a short
while.
15/16 – SWITCH MODE Button and LEDs
The two big foot switches on NOVA Drive can operate
in three different modes. Press the SWITCH MODE
button to alternate between these modes. The LEDs to
the left of the button indicate whether you are in
Normal, Toggle or Bank Mode.
Normal Mode
In this mode, the two sections of NOVA Drive operate
like two completely separate pedals that are connected
according to the selected routing. Please refer to the
section “ROUTING Mode Button and LEDs” on page
14 for further information on routings.
