TC Electronic Nova Reverb
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2018 3:55 pm
I have used the TC Electronic Nova Reverb for some years and found it to be very good and reliable. However, having not used it for quite a while , dug it out to use in conjunction with my H & C delay unit, since I find some of the patches in the H & C a bit dry ( Apache is a good example). This was following the extensive discussion on reverb recently on this site to which I contributed. Being a 12V DC unit I power the reverb through a T Rex Fuel Tank which has 12V outputs as well as 9V.
All was well until when I was playing away happily the reverb unit suddenly cut out completely, all lights extinguished , no power. After a few seconds it came back to life and continued ok for several minutes and then did the same thing. Sometimes it takes only a few seconds to come back, others several minutes. I have checked all cables and connections. Has anyone any suggestions what might be wrong , or is it a lost cause. There are four Allen key type bolts on both ends of the unit but I havent tried to get inside since Im no electronics expert and wouldnt have any idea what to look for.
