The JHS Pedals 3 Series Glitch Delay combines classic delay tones with unpredictable, tape-like glitch textures in a simple and approachable format. Part of the JHS 3 Series lineup, this pedal spans a delay range of 20ms to 980ms, delivering inspiring sounds with intuitive controls. Built around a unique approach to glitch-style delay processing, the Glitch Delay introduces randomized playback-speed changes that warp and bend repeats while keeping your core delay time intact, creating evolving ambient textures, pitch-shifted movement and unstable rhythmic effects.

Classic Delay Meets Real-Time Glitching

At its core, the 3 Series Glitch Delay functions as a warm, musical delay pedal capable of everything from tight slapback echoes to expansive ambient repeats. With the Glitch control turned fully down, the pedal behaves like a traditional delay effect with smooth, natural repeats that fit easily into virtually any setup. As the control is increased, randomized glitch events begin altering the playback speed of the repeats in real time, introducing warped pitch shifts, dragging textures and unstable rhythmic movement inspired by experimental delay processing and ambient sound design. The LED indicator flashes in sync with each glitch event, providing visual feedback during performance.

Expressive Controls With Evolving Repeat Textures

The Time control covers a broad delay range from 20ms to 980ms, allowing players to dial in everything from quick slapback echoes to long atmospheric washes. As the Repeats control is increased, the repeats become more animated and textured while an internal limiter keeps feedback musical and controlled even at more extreme settings. New notes continue stacking over older repeats, creating layered ambient textures that gradually decay without spiraling into uncontrollable oscillation. A Mix toggle provides two selectable delay levels—35% for subtle ambience or 80% for more immersive, effect-forward delay sounds.

Simple Layout With Expansive Creative Potential

Like all pedals in the JHS 3 Series, the Glitch Delay uses three simple controls and one toggle switch to deliver a surprisingly wide range of sounds in a streamlined, approachable format. Built in Kansas City, Missouri using high-quality components and pedalboard-friendly construction, it balances experimental textures with straightforward usability for players of all experience levels. From subtle tape-style movement and warped repeats to fully glitched ambient soundscapes, the JHS Pedals 3 Series Glitch Delay delivers creative delay textures in a compact and performance-ready design.
