Description
The JHS 3 Series Oil Can Delay is a compact, straightforward pedal that captures the character of vintage oil can echo units. It's a great fit for players who want something a little different from a standard delay-whether you're a gigging musician or just looking to add some vintage flavor to your board. Inspired by the quirky, warbly delay sounds used by players like Nels Cline, this pedal nails that hazy, lo-fi vibe without being overcomplicated.
It keeps things simple with three controls for Time, Repeats, and Mix, plus a toggle to shift between Dark and Bright modes. The tone has a natural vibrato baked into the repeats, just like the old oil can units from the '60s. With a solid build and reliable electronics, it's designed to deliver a truly unique slapback or long, warbled echoes whether you're recording in the studio or adding texture live on stage.
The 3 Series Oil Can Delay is lightweight, pedalboard-friendly, and easy to dial in without fuss. It feels sturdy underfoot and has the kind of tonal character that can inspire new ideas the second you kick it on. We're confident this one's going to become something of a "Secret Sauce" on a lot of boards around here.
