Pilot Three All-time-classic Delays
The JHS Flight Delay soars between two echo box extremes, expertly landing on the middle ground between a straightforward old-school stompbox and the modern era’s massive multi-effect workstations. Flight Delay lifts off with three essential echo flavors inspired by Josh’s favorite delay pedals: Delay, Reverse, and Analog. This trio of tones covers all your standard digital, analog, and more experimental delay bases, with a dedicated tap tempo footswitch and a subdivision toggle to effortlessly rig up the proper rhythm. Furthermore, the Flight Delay also boasts a robust modulation section that imbues your repeats with either a swaying chorus or warbling vibrato. You also get a powerful EQ knob to sculpt your delay’s sound from dark to crisp, the ability to activate trails bypass mode, and an expression jack to take hands-free control over your delay time. Comprehensive in terms of tone and straightforward in function, the JHS Flight Delay is, in Josh Scott’s own words, “everything you need in a delay and nothing you don’t.”

Carry on three of Josh’s favorite delays
With the JHS Flight Delay, digital, analog, and reverse delay sounds are at your command. Each patch is inspired by one of Josh Scott’s all-time favorite echo boxes.
- Analog: This setting pulls from two iconic bucket brigade delays, offering a filtered analog-style tone with captivating echo degradation and a rich warmth.
- Reverse: The standard delay sound for psychedelic rock guitarists everywhere, the Flight Delay’s Reverse mode does what it says on the tin, reversing your repeats for wild and experimental chaos.
- Digital: Finally, this setting offers a crisp, defined, and pristine digital delay sound that harkens back to early DSP delay pedals.
Full-featured modulation section
Ask any of Sweetwater’s echo-advocate guitarists: few sounds pair more perfectly than delay and modulation. Even better, the JHS Flight Delay comes equipped with a 3-way switch that unlocks both Chorus- and Vibrato-laden repeats, in addition to the ability to retain a pure and unmodulated sound. Controlled with straightforward Mod Rate and mod Depth knobs, these two moody modulations impart a lush sense of movement and complexity to your repeats, especially when you start exploring the upper reaches of the Flight Delay’s 50ms to 1-second range.
A hangar full of utility features
All-encompassing without overdoing it, Flight Delay packs a handy host of utility effects. Dialing in your tempo is a breeze thanks to the Flight Delay’s dedicated tap tempo footswitch, which allows you to perform exacting echo adjustments onstage without the need to fiddle with the knobs or 3-position subdivision switch. Next, the Flight Delay’s EQ knob transforms your tone from warm and dark to clear and articulate with a twist of the dial. Finally, Flight Delay is finished off with an expression jack for in-the-moment flourishes with an external expression pedal.
