There aren’t many pedals emulating the syrupy, dark, and wobbly repeats generated by the semi-forgotten technology powering oil can delays. JHS released one in limited edition in 2023 within a “blacked out” series, which is now becoming part of the regular 3 Series production with the 3 Series Oil Can Delay.
The circuit was born from a request by Wilco’s guitarist Nels Cline.
The controls are very simple: Mix, Speed and Feedback, with an added +/- toggle that delivers two different options for modulation intensity.
Hear how it sounds in the videos below, here’s our comprehensive list of all the currently available oil-can-style delay pedals, while here you can find all the info about the JHS 3-Series pedals.
