The Troika Delay | JHS Pedals x Third Man Hardware

Hello. I'm here at Third Man Nashville with Jack White. That's right. To introduce the Troa Delay.

[music] >> [music] >> If you purchase the pedal, you get Jack's abilities and skills and his good looks. >> Okay. I We didn't talk about that, but I'm I'm open to that. >> You worked out like a replication system.
