Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
TC Electronic typically very good. I've seen issues with old models, but in three months, have had none of my own.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only been three months - need more data to compute
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I use this a mod/digital delay/reverb pedal. I don't use the compressor or the OD, (Keeley & Fulltone have me covered there). TC's mod effects are absolutely great. TC does a great job with there digital effects and the Nova is no expception.
Bought it using the Price Match Guarantee - that was awesome. Thanks AMS.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
It's not the most user friendly set up. I use it as a stomp box, just clicking in my effects. It feels pretty sturdy. The adjsutment knobs are rubber and I could see them wearing over time.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
I would put the effects in the middle of boutique and pedals like Boss or more common gear. I still have my Deluxe Memory Man and OCD, but some of the stuff like Phaser, Tremelo and reverb I use the pedal.
Finish

Looks like a brick

I just got it and I've been toying with it, so far so good, I will give it a test this weekend on a live performance enviroment and see what comes out of it.
But the 1st imnpression I got after powering up and play with a few of the patches was "Wow!" and like I said before this weekend it will take the place of my $1500 rack unit, not an easy task.
There is no wah fx or expression pedal but still like that if you can't live without one of those all you gotta do is put your favorite wah in from of it, in my case a wah/volume pedal does the trick.
The thing I like the most about it is that is really intuitive and simple to operate, just a quick read to the manual or even you tube if you like and the controls and editing is fairly simple, no need to be nasa engineer to figure it out, nowadays multi fxs make it as easy and also as difficult as possible to create the sound you are looking for, this is like breath of fresh air.

It's a little heavy for the size but that's good because is not a plastic toy taht will break if someone steps over it or if you accidentally drop it.
Tone

You can dig any tone you want from this little puppy
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
It's a nice grey finish, I like the shinny buttons and the lights
Action

Great sounds straight out of the box, just a little editing here and there to get the sounds I was looking for
