Description

The JHS 3 Series Glitch Delay is a compact, affordable delay pedal that takes classic echo sounds and twists them into something beautifully unpredictable. From warm, musical repeats to wild, time-bending stutters, it gives you inspiring ambient textures and glitchy, animated delays without ever losing your core tempo or overwhelming your board. Built around the idea of time-based glitching, the 3 Series Glitch Delay locks in your chosen delay time, then introduces randomised pitch and speed shifts inside the feedback loop. The result is a delay that feels alive under your fingers, smearing, bending and warping repeats while your dry signal stays solid and playable. With just three knobs and a single toggle, it is incredibly easy to dial in, whether you want subtle movement or full-on experimental soundscapes. At its most traditional, with the Glitch control fully anticlockwise, this pedal behaves like a warm, musical delay that will happily sit on any board. As you turn the Glitch knob up, the probability of a glitch event increases, with the LED flashing in time with each randomised shift. New notes stack on top of older repeats that slowly dissolve, and an internal limiter keeps feedback under control so you can explore self-oscillating textures without the sound running away. The Time control covers everything from super-tight 20 ms slapback to nearly one second of ambient wash, while the Repeats control adds tasteful modulation as it climbs for lush, swirling echoes. A simple Mix toggle lets you choose between a subtle 35 percent delay level or a much more present 80 percent, making it easy to move from always-on ambience to feature-delay tones in an instant. Glitching Delay That Follows Your Tempo The 3 Series Glitch Delay keeps your core delay time locked while randomised glitch events alter playback speed in real time. This bends and drags the repeats without throwing your timing out, so you get expressive, animated echoes that still sit comfortably in the groove. From Classic Echo To Experimental Textures With the Glitch control fully anticlockwise, you get a straightforward, warm delay that drops straight into any rig. Turn it clockwise and the probability of glitch events increases up to 50 percent, taking you from subtle character and movement to full-on fractured, stuttering repeats. Wide Time Range With Musical Modulation The Time knob spans 20 ms to 980 ms, covering tight rockabilly slapback, rhythmic repeats and long ambient pads. As you push the Repeats control higher, tasteful modulation is introduced, adding depth and movement to your echoes while an internal limiter allows endless feedback without runaway volume. Simple Controls, Studio-Ready Build Part of the JHS 3 Series, the Glitch Delay keeps things intuitive with three knobs and a single Mix toggle that switches between subtle 35 percent and bold 80 percent delay levels. Built with high-quality components and careful quality control in Kansas City, it is equally at home on a beginner’s first board or a touring professional’s pedaltrain.Key Features Time-Based Glitch Engine – The pedal locks your chosen delay time and introduces randomised glitch events that alter playback speed inside the feedback loop.
