Hi.
Currrently I have a Boss DD-20 Giga-Delay.  I think I am perceiving substantial "Tone-suck". Does anyone have any similar experiences with this unit? Also I am considering a Nova Repeater and the Nova Delay. I know that I am going to miss the presets with the repeater, but is the tone that much better with the Nova's?

Thanks for your input.

I just broke down and got the Nova Repeater. It blows the Giga delay away in the way of transparency. Very powerful and clear. It sounds so good, I think I am going to trade in my Giga- Delay and my  Chorus Ensemble (CE-20)  for a Nova Delay, I like pre-sets.

Now back to playing with the thing.

Nice purchase, imo you really can't go wrong with the nova repeater, flashback, etc.  TC Electronics is putting out some nice stuff these days....probably always has, I just didn't know it.

Agreed!
Its a great sounding delay. I now want the Nova Delay also. I am gonna trade in my DD-20 and CE-20 and get one.
