3 Series Glitch Delay
The 3 Series has been JHS Pedals' quiet revolution — American-designed pedals in plain white boxes at $99, proving that 'budget' does not have to mean boring. The 3 Series Glitch Delay is the line's most adventurous entry yet. At its core sits a capable digital delay spanning 20 to 980 milliseconds with the standard Time, Repeats and Mix controls, but the Glitch knob is where things get weird. It introduces probability-based stuttering — random slices of your repeats getting chopped, repeated and rearranged — in a lineage that traces back to the beloved sample-and-hold chaos of Line 6's DL4, the pedal that soundtracked a generation of experimental indie and post-rock. Turn Glitch low for occasional digital hiccups that keep a delay line feeling alive; crank it and your playing dissolves into fractured, generative patterns that feel like a broken CD player having a good day. Because the glitching is probabilistic rather than synced, no two passes sound identical — a genuinely inspiring quality in a pedal this affordable. A toggle switch extends the feature set further, and the whole thing runs on standard 9V power. For players curious about glitch textures who cannot justify boutique prices, this is the obvious entry point; for established boards, it is a $99 chaos generator that earns its space. The 3 Series formula — one great idea, zero frills — has rarely been this fun.
