JHS 3 Series Glitch Delay Effects Pedal

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.

• Time-Based Glitch Engine - The pedal locks your chosen delay time and introduces randomised glitch events that alter playback speed inside the feedback loop. This creates evolving, pitch-shifted repeats that feel organic and musical, perfect for ambient, experimental and cinematic sounds.
• Classic Delay When You Want It - With the Glitch knob fully anticlockwise, the pedal behaves as a warm, musical delay with no glitching. You can use it as your main delay for everyday playing, then simply turn up the Glitch control when you want to step into more adventurous territory.
• 20 ms To 980 ms With Modulated Repeats - The wide Time range covers everything from short slapback to long, spacious echoes. As you increase the Repeats control, gentle modulation is introduced, adding lush movement and depth while an internal limiter keeps infinite feedback usable and controlled.
• Two-Level Mix Toggle - The Mix toggle lets you instantly choose between a subtle 35 percent delay blend or a much more forward 80 percent setting. This makes it easy to set up always-on ambience or bold, featured delay sounds without complex menus or extra controls.
