✈️ JHS Pedals Flight Delay

In a world full of menu-diving, screen-staring, spaceship-level delay pedals, JHS wanted to build the anti-flight deck. The Flight Delay is everything you actually need in a delay pedal—and nothing you don’t. No scrolling, no submenus, no patch saving. Just three classic delay flavors, killer modulation, and enough tweakability to keep you inspired.

Inside are three modes—Analog, Reverse, and Digital—each lovingly tuned after a few of the all-time favorites: the lush warmth of the EHX Memory Man, the crisp precision of the Boss DD-5, and the trippy reverse magic from the Line 6 DL4. Whether you’re chasing slapback for rockabilly riffs, atmospheric loops for ambient soundscapes, or that shimmering, tape-wobbled texture for your lead lines—the Flight Delay is your passport.

If you’re tired of delay pedals that make you feel like you need a software update just to change the time setting, welcome home.

🎛️ Controls

MIX – Blends your dry and delayed signal. Left for dry, right for wet, noon for perfect 50/50.
REPEATS – Sets how many echoes come back at you. Turn right for more, and crank it all the way for infinite repeats that can literally spiral into chaos (in a good way).
EQ – Shapes your repeats from warm and dark (left) to bright and glassy (right).
TIME – Controls delay time from 50ms to 1 second. Left = short. Right = long. Simple as that.

🎛️ Modes

ANALOG – Classic bucket-brigade-style echoes inspired by pedals like the Memory Man and DM-2. Warm, gooey, and a little unpredictable—just like you like it.
REVERSE – Your repeats, flipped backwards in true psychedelic fashion. Think DL4 or Back Talk vibes.
DIGITAL – Clean, crisp repeats with studio-grade precision, nodding to digital legends like the DD-5 and DE7.

(Note: When switching modes, delay time resets to whatever your Time knob is set to—no surprises mid-song.)

⏱️ Subdivision Toggle

Choose your rhythmic weapon: quarter note, eighth note, or dotted eighth. Perfect for locking in your tempo whether you’re channeling The Edge or just trying to sound tighter than your drummer.

🎛️ Bypass Mode

Want your echoes to fade out naturally after you bypass the pedal? Hold both footswitches for two seconds while the pedal’s on. The left LED will blink to confirm. (And yep, it remembers your setting.)

🎛️ Modulation Section

Because what’s a good delay without a little wobble? The Flight Delay’s modulation path was designed to capture the soul of a Memory Man’s dreamy chorus and the lo-fi warble of vintage tape.

MOD TOGGLE – Off, Chorus, or Vibrato.
MOD DEPTH – Sets how intense things get. Left for subtle, right for seasick.
MOD RATE – Speed of modulation. Slow sway or fast shimmer—you decide.

🎛️ Tap & Expression

TAP TEMPO – Right footswitch or external tap input. Tap in your time and go. (Switching delay modes resets to the knob setting.)
EXPRESSION INPUT – Plug in an expression pedal (TRS, tip polarity) to control delay time hands-free. Heel down = fast, toe down = slow. Great for spacey sweeps and on-the-fly time warps.

🔌 I/O & Power

• Input: Top-right ¼” mono
• Output: Top-left ¼” mono
• Tap/Expression Jack: Top center
• Power: 9VDC, center-negative, 85mA (max). Don’t go above 9V unless you enjoy voided warranties and expensive smoke.

The Fine Print

The Flight Delay isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Ibanez, BOSS, Danelectro, Electro-Harmonix, or Line 6—JHS just loves the classics enough to pay tribute the right way.
