Another new Novo - phew, it's blue this time!
Novo's new model, the Idris, their take on a Strat. And it's right up there with the best Fender Custom Shop models. Might even kick my Xotic HSS out the door, it's that good!

You’ll need some nice amps to go with that now

How you finding that TAE Conway? Curious whether the product/design is holding up, now that the chatter (good and bad) seems to have died down a bit. Ever had a chance to compare to a Power Station?

I haven't compared it to a Freyette PS, but I have to an Ox Box and I find the TAE to be better. It is very effective for attenuation and maintaining tone. I use the TAE effects loop and usually run 2 cabs off it via the De Lisle Amp/Cab selector. Wouldn't be without it.

Re: Another new Novo - phew, it's blue this time!
I really like the idea of the Tube Amp Expander. I found it so frustrating that the made it have stereo effects, stereo line outs, two speaker outputs.... But the speaker outs are parallel not stereo. I'd imagine the cost wouldn't have been too much higher to add a second power amplifier, and it'd be amazing to turn a single tube amp into a stereo rig.Conway wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 12:43 pmI haven't compared it to a Freyette PS, but I have to an Ox Box and I find the TAE to be better.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yeah, but can it do Hip and Hop?
