Finding The Right Delay Pedal For You | A Guide To JHS Delay Pedals

which JHS delay do I need we've got five delays in our lineup each with a unique voice do you like warm repeats do you like crysaline digital repeats or do you want to get psychedelic with some reverse delay either way I think we've got something for you and I'm going to help you figure out what you want [Music] the three series delay is really meet and potatoes in the up position you get a brighter digitally voiced delay and in the down position you get a warmer analog voiced delay digital delays are typically way more brighter and chirpy sounding and give you back pretty much exactly what you put in I could almost describe this is being very Surgical and could be very useful for things like technical dotted e type sounds analog on the other hand is a lot more warmer and the repeats tend to degrade and get darker over time I'll turn the mix and the repeats up so you can hear how those repeats degrade it kind of lends itself to take up more space in a mix cuz there's a lot more low frequencies in the repeats so you get more ambient sounding tones out of it having those warmer repeats with a slapback setting feels a little bit more natural and organic like you might be playing in a larger room a unique feature of analog delay is the way that the repeats will run away in feedback when you crank the repeats pot or on other analog delays uh the feedback so having this cranked up pretty cool however in digital mode it won't run away it'll just repeat for forever not actually forever that's impossible the three series delay will give you 80 milliseconds of delay to 800 milliseconds of delay one thing you have to test with every delay pedal that you get no matter what is the time ramp sound otherwise known as the we we test which is essentially when you twist the time knob and it goes like that so in digital mode that was pretty satisfying analog mode arguably analog mode is better but fight it out which one was better I'll give this a seven out of 10 Wis so let's say you heard my first demo and you were like I really liked the bright sound of the digital delay but ...
