Turn the Time control towards its shorter settings and keep Repeats low for a quick single or short series of echoes suitable for country, rockabilly, blues and vintage-style guitar sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it produce runaway delay feedback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In the analogue-voiced mode, turning Repeats to maximum can create the runaway feedback associated with traditional bucket-brigade-style delay effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the JHS 3 Series Delay have tap tempo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Delay time is set manually with the Time control. Players who need dedicated tap tempo should consider a delay such as the JHS Flight Delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the 3 Series Delay suitable for ambient guitar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 800ms maximum delay and adjustable Repeats provide enough range for long echo trails, particularly when the pedal is combined with reverb or modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I place the delay in my pedal chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common starting point is after compression, overdrive, distortion and modulation but before reverb. This allows the delay to repeat your complete guitar sound before the final ambience is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use the analogue or digital setting with distortion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe darker analogue-style mode is often a strong starting point because its warmer repeats can sit behind a distorted guitar without competing with the original note. The digital mode is useful when you specifically want the repeats to remain clearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the JHS 3 Series Delay and Tape Delay?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard Delay gives you warm analogue-style and clear digital-style modes with an 80–800ms range.
