I sold my Nova combo about a year ago and have regretted it since the day I sold it. I just picked up a head and I can't put into words what a phenomenal amp it is. I didn't sell my combo because I didn't like it, I sold it because a friend fell in love with it and wanted one great amp, so I felt bad for him and sold it to him. I am so grateful to have a Nova back in the stable. There is no other Z that does what the Nova does. It's simply another perfect amp from the Doctor. There are so many great amps in the lineup (past and present) and I'm very thankful to own 24 of them currently.
Thanks Doc, and keep them coming!

Wow, that’s a significant statement.
I haven’t had the chance to play that a amp.

PCNS Todd was nice enough to stop by on his way to guitar show and brought the amp over to check out (what a nice guy, can't say that enough). First thought was that the combo was really light, second thought was what a huge and full sound just turning it on and not messing with anything. I think I tried it with a strat, but it really surprised me how big and beautiful it sounded right out of the gate. I share your appreciation.

Nova combo, Remedy head. I think I’m done. These are the tones I’ve been looking for. ME

I and many others fell for the Nova when Z premiered it at Z Fest 2018. I've got #4; it's a blonde with oxblood grill, just like the Z Fest amp. There's something special about that tweedy tone. It's a keeper.

There is no other Z that does what the Nova does. This is quite true. I the NOVA wasn't in the line, I couldn't really make a suggestion for another amp in the lineup that would satisfy what it does. Maybe the CAZ in some ways, but it's not as raw, and then you aren't able to get it in a combo, and the clean sound is definitely not the same... so... agreed.

Yup! The NOVA is MY favorite Dr. Z and outright favorite amp. It is truly amazing and I am sometimes surprised by how little attention it gets on the forums. I can only conclude that Nova owners are just too engrossed in playing with Doc's best amp to bother with reading the forum. That's the only way I can make sense of it! You know all those dumb "desert island" threads on TGP? Well, for me the answer is easy - it's always the Nova - always! Thank you Doc for giving me MY sound!

I've got #2 and it's going nowhere. Great amp.

I've got #2 and it's going nowhere. Great amp. Neither is mine Dave! I'll never make that mistake again.

Got a Nova about two months ago. I finally found my amp and am back playing Dr.Z's again. I find myself liking the Nova better every time I plug in.

I do love mine too, fat and full, people come over to my house to jam and I fire it up and they just look at it and cant believe how huge it sounds. I have #6, its a 1x12 combo in Red, one of the last Red combo cabs before the Z28 MKII came out in red I believe that amp was one of the first with the lighter cabinet design. The cab design works with the speaker to generate the tones you hears where the older (and much heavier cabs) the speaker was more isolated from the cab. Both sound good but different. The lighter cab is more resonant and does such a wonderful job filling a room with tonal goodness God bless, Todd Pro Cables N Sound greatcables.com Greenville Pickups greenvillepickups.com

It makes me happy whenever I see someone else discovering how amazing the NOVA is! Glad you found it too. Just today I was playing mine with a Tele and a Volante and it got me thinking thinking - if I ever had to really pare down, this would be the rig. Enjoy!

I sold #5 after I had converted it to a blonde studio combo (from originally a red head). I see it has surfaced on BST as a black head from a different forum member than bought it from me. Great amp.
