Title: Holy Grail Nano test in the loop Post by: JEDMON01 on May 17, 2009, 12:25:05 PM Although my Nova Reverb is superb in the ODS loop I picked up this excellent, no hasle, Holy Grail nano, so thought I would test it in the loop.
While I had my test gear & scope set up I also tested a few other pedals:- Here are all the readings :- Pedal Max before clip Watts ----------------------------------------------------- None 14.2V 50 Holy Grail 10.6V 28 Mad Prof Del 7.3V 13 Nova Rev 14.2V 50 Nova Del 14.2V 50 Measured across a 4 Ohm dummy load. An interesting finding was that contrary to popular belief my ODS pumps out 50 Watts of clean signal before it clips ;D Not 43 as I have often read ??? So the Holy Grail Nano will start to compromise the clean signal at 30 Watts. Mad Professor delay clips at only 13 Watts. Both Nova Reverb and Delay are transparent in the loop. ( provided they have been calibrated ). Could use the nano in-line but don't like the wash of reverb when the o/d is engaged. Back to the Nova then. Wish it had less knobs :-\ I'll use the HG for my Dizzy 30 and Egnater. It's an excellent simulation of an old spring reverb.

Nova is a lovely pedal and you don't need a kleinulator. You can use second amp (with the ground lift) with Nova to go stereo and this sounds fantastic. People tend to complicate their lives with to much outboard gear. |
