The Evolution Of The Tape Delay

Tape delay was invented in the late 40s when Les Paul strung two Ampex Model 200A reel-to-reel tape recorders together. A little later, in 1953, Ray Butts invented the Echosonic, the first actual tape delay unit. This would be followed up by the Echoplex EP-1 in 1961 from Mike Battle and the Space Echo from Roland in 1974. The JHS Pedals 3 Series Tape Delay is a simplified and faithful throwback to these classic units. 

Dial In Stunning Tone

The Mix control lets you control how much clean signal is blended in with the wet (delayed) signal (on the original unit, this was called Echo Volume). Tape Speed acts as a simulation of the RE-201’s tape motor speeding up and slowing down and determines how short or long the delay effect is. The Repeats control goes from a single repeat to many, reminiscent of a sound being written onto the tape loop with loss of fidelity each time. Finally, when the Flutter toggle is turned on (up position), it replicates the wear & tear to the mechanical parts of a tape machine that happens over time. This causes mild modulation, warble, and flutter sounds in the echo path of the delay that so many players desire.

Controls

  • MIX – Controls how much clean signal is blended in with the wet (delayed) signal. Left is more dry signal. Right is more wet signal.
  • TAPE SPEED – Controls the length of delay effect. Left is shorter. Right is longer.
  • REPEATS – Controls how many repeats occur after you play. Left is less. Right is more.
  • FLUTTER – Switch down is standard effect. Switch up introduces a mild modulation reminiscent of vintage units with mechanical wear.

Specifications

  • INPUT – ¼” jack on the right side of the pedal.
  • OUTPUT – ¼” jack on the left side of the pedal.
  • POWER – Requires 9VDC negative center power and consumes 65mA. Not not use more than 9VDC. You will void your warranty.

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Delay

Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.

Tape

Tape refers to effects and recording techniques based on analogue magnetic tape machines, known for their warm, slightly compressed, and organic sound. Tape-based effects often introduce subtle saturation, natural roll-off in the high frequencies, and gentle modulation that adds character and depth.

In guitar and studio gear, tape is most commonly associated with echo and delay effects, where the repeats have a soft, evolving quality. Tape-style sounds are valued for their musical imperfections and vintage feel, and are widely used in rock, ambient, dub, and experimental music.
