JHS Flight Delay Blue

The JHS Flight Delay is designed to deliver everything you need from a delay pedal in a straightforward, no-nonsense package. Instead of overwhelming users with countless options and menus, this pedal focuses on the essentials, offering three classic delay modes inspired by some of the best-known delays in history. Whether you’re looking for a warm analog delay, a crisp digital sound, or a unique reverse delay effect, the Flight Delay covers it all, providing an intuitive user experience for players of any genre.

Three Classic Delay Modes

The Flight Delay offers three distinct delay modes, giving you a range of versatile options to enhance your sound:

• Analog: A filtered analog-style BBD delay inspired by the warm echoes of the EHX Memory Man and BOSS DM-2.
• Reverse: Inspired by the Line 6 DL4’s reverse mode, this setting plays your delay signal backward for a unique, mind-bending effect.
• Digital: Crisp, clear digital delay modeled after early DSP delays like the BOSS DD-5 and Ibanez DE7, delivering a pristine, modern delay sound.

Intuitive Controls for Ultimate Flexibility

The Flight Delay features six essential controls that make it easy to dial in the perfect delay tone:

• Mix: Adjusts the balance between your dry signal and the delayed signal. Fully left is dry, fully right is fully wet, and noon is a 50/50 mix.
• Repeats: Controls how many delay repeats you hear. Turning it all the way to the right will result in infinite repeats, creating spiraling feedback for experimental soundscapes.
• EQ: Adjusts the tone of your repeats. Turn it left for darker, warmer tones, or right for brighter, more pronounced echoes.
• Time: Controls the length of the delay, from a quick 50ms to a long 1 second. Turn it left for shorter delays and right for longer ones.

Modulation and Customization

The modulation section of the Flight Delay adds another layer of depth to your sound, mimicking the lo-fi vibrato of vintage tape delays or the lush modulation of the Memory Man. You can control the modulation's depth and rate, allowing for subtle warble or extreme textures.

• Mod Depth: Adjusts how intense the modulation effect is. Turn it left for a subtle effect or right for more pronounced modulation.
• Mod Rate: Controls the speed of the modulation effect, from slow to fast.

Advanced Features for Creative Control

• Subdivision Toggle: Choose between quarter note, eighth note, or dotted eighth note repeats, making it easy to lock into your desired rhythm.
• Modulation Toggle: Select from chorus, vibrato, or no modulation, depending on the sound you want to achieve.
• Trails Bypass Mode: Let your delay repeats trail off naturally when you turn off the effect. Activate or deactivate by holding both footswitches for two seconds while the pedal is on.

Tap Tempo and Expression Control

The Flight Delay features a tap tempo footswitch, allowing you to set the delay time on the fly with two or more taps. If you prefer more hands-on control, you can connect an expression pedal to control the delay time in real time. Whether you're setting precise tempos or dynamically adjusting the delay, the Flight Delay adapts to your performance.

Power and Connectivity

• Power: The Flight Delay runs on a standard 9V DC power supply (not included) with a current draw of 85mA.
• Inputs/Outputs: The pedal includes a 1/4" input, 1/4" output, and a TAP/EXP jack for external tap tempo or expression control.
