JHS 3 Series Glitch Delay
JHS Pedals · pedal
The JHS 3 Series Glitch Delay is an experimental delay pedal from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Controls include Glitch (adjusts glitch probability from 0 to 50%), Time (20ms to 980ms), and Repeats (which introduces modulation as it increases), plus a Mix toggle that sets delay level at either a subtle 35% or a more present 80%. Inspired by the ambient delay work of Bill Frisell and the Line 6 DL4. True bypass.
