Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.50% — somewhat different

The JHS 3 Series Delay is a delay pedal from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Controls include Time (up to 800ms), Feedback, and Mix, plus a mode switch that selects between pristine digital delay and darker, analog-voiced repeats. Self-oscillation is achievable for ambient and experimental applications. True bypass.
The Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station is a delay pedal offering three distinct voicings: a Tape EP-III mode emulating the Echoplex EP-3 tape delay with adjustable wow, flutter, and noise that can be driven into saturation for fat, modulated repeats; an Analog DMM mode recreating late-1970s and early-1980s bucket-brigade analog delay character with extended delay times up to a full second for a lush, gritty, vibey sound; and a Precision digital mode delivering clean, crystal-clear repeats with extensive modulation options layered on top. Six hands-on controls and dual footswitches give real-time control over all three engines. It suits players who love the weird, warped character of vintage pre-digital delay units as much as pristine modern digital echo.
