The JHS 3 Series Oil Can Delay is a compact guitar effects pedal that recreates the unusual, warm, wobbly echo of vintage oil-can delay units. It combines short delay times with a distinctive modulation effect, giving your guitar a sound that is slightly unstable, atmospheric, and wonderfully vintage.

What does it sound like?
Unlike a conventional delay that produces clean, evenly spaced repeats, an oil-can-style delay adds a subtle pitch wobble and movement to the echoes.
Warm, vintage echo: Gives individual notes and chords a soft, rounded echo with a retro character.
Wobbly modulation: Adds a slightly seasick, warbling quality to the repeats, almost like an old recording machine.
Slapback effects: Creates a short, thickening echo suited to blues, rockabilly, and roots rock.
Psychedelic textures: With stronger modulation and more feedback, the sound becomes swirling, unstable, and experimental.
