In 2022, Wilco guitarist Nels Cline asked Josh Scott of JHS Pedals for an oil can delay pedal. JHS had none to offer, so Josh and his team built a custom stompbox that turned out to be so good that Nels wanted to give it a permanent spot on his pedalboard. That very pedal is what inspired the JHS 3 Series Oil Can Delay.The 3 Series Oil Can Delay: Classic Dark Delay FlavoursThe JHS 3 Series Oil Can Delay packs the same dark oil can-style delay sound as the original, Raymond Lubow-developed effect, which is basically a magnetic disk that spins inside a can of special oil that helps keep special rubber heads lubricated and prevents the leakage of the magnetically stored data. Here, you get a set of Tape Speed, Mix and Feedback knobs, plus a Mod +/- mini-switch for varying the sound.
