Here's what TC Electronic say about the iB Modification
We are proud to present an improved and exclusive ‘iB Modified’ version of our highly-acclaimed Nova Delay pedal. iB Modified refers to a specific modification that elevates this exclusive version of the Nova Delay to a whole new level in terms of sonic purity! In the northern part of Italy, a tech wizard carries out modifications and designs complete guitar effects systems for some of the best guitar players in Europe that center around our guitar effects such as G-System and Nova Delay. His name is Massimo Mantovani, and one of his most popular mods is a Nova Delay input buffer tweak. We have collaborated with Mantovani to develop the ultimate input buffer modification. By changing the analog input design as well as a number of components, a super transparent tone that offers loads of punch and a snappier response has been created for you – and your crowd – to enjoy! Further, this exclusive, custom-run version is a genuine looker with its new, red finish that will add both class, style and superior delay processing to any pedal board!

With 6 different stereo delay types and the option to store up to 9 presets customizable by an array of style parameters ranging from vintage tape to digital delay this pedal easily serves all delay requirements of modern guitar players who wanna create unique sounds.
Built upon the legacy and knowledge of TC's world-renowned TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay the ND-1 Nova Delay raises the bar for guitar effect pedals and redefines what it means to be "state-of-the-art". ND-1 Nova Delay offer uncompromised studio quality digital effects in a compact floor-based design.
The ND-1 Nova Delay pedal features 6 different delay types:

Slap-back
Each of these types can be modified with a delay style - a unique feature of ND-1 Nova Delay that allows you to mix and match your delay type and style infinitely.
Both single delay and dual delay lines can be applied to any type and style using the tap tempo switch or delay time knob to determine the delay time that ranges from 1 to 2290 ms.
Three different types of modulation (light, medium and heavy) can be applied to any of the delay types - a feature originating from the legendary TC 2290 Dynamic Digital Delay processor.
The all-new Audio Tapping technology enables you to set the tempo of the delay by playing a rhythm into the pedal while holding down the tap tempo switch. You can now set the tempo of the delay using your most important asset: Your playing.
Other great ND-1 Nova Delay features include the ability to choose between ms (milliseconds) and bpm (beats per minute) readout, decide if you want spillover on individual settings and turn global tempo - where tap tempo determines delay time on user presets - on and off.
