Yesterday I succumbed to temptation and upgraded my guitar rig with a TC Electronics Nova System.  I’m extremely impressed with pretty much everything about the unit itself, but I have a problem.

As with most electronic deices these days, you really do need to be able to refer to the manual to make the most of it.  Unfortunately, the manual for this device (you can find a download on the link above if you want to take a look) is pretty near incomprehensible.  It was obviously adapted from the G Major manual by someone who knew the system inside-out.  As a result there are lots of assumptions made about the depth of the users’ knowledge.  That’s where it falls down.  I just don’t have that knowledge and so I can’t make much sense of what’s written there.

Come on, TC – you’ve made an excellent product but it is sadly let down by the manual.  Please re-write it so the average user can understand how to make the most of the device.
