Vintage Tape Echo Warmth in a Modern Pedal

The JHS Pedals 3 Series Tape Delay captures the warm, organic character of classic tape echo machines and delivers it in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. Part of JHS's acclaimed 3 Series line, this delay pedal proves you don't need to spend a fortune to get authentic vintage tone.

Classic Tape Echo Character

Experience the rich, warm repeats that made vintage tape echo units legendary. The 3 Series Tape Delay recreates the natural compression, subtle modulation, and organic decay of classic tape machines—without the maintenance headaches or vintage price tags. Each repeat sits perfectly in your mix with that unmistakable analog warmth guitarists have chased for decades.

Simple Controls, Endless Possibilities

Three intuitive controls give you complete command over your delay sound:

• Delay Time – From quick slapback echoes to long, ambient trails
• Repeats – Control feedback from single repeats to infinite oscillation
• Level – Blend your delayed signal perfectly with your dry tone
