For 2008, TC Electronic's existing Nova series pedals are joined by new Modulator and Dynamics units, retailing at €249.

The Nova Modulator comes equipped with seven studio-quality modulation effects, while the Nova Dynamics features both a classic stompbox-style compressor and a studio, rack-style voicing.

Both pedals benefit from dual processing engines for two sounds on the fly, and in the case of the Dynamics pedal, multi-band compression. To find out more, check out this video fresh from Frankfurt Musikmesse. Also featured is the Nova System multi-FX unit, launched at NAMM in January 2008.
