The best delay

For the kind of music I play - rock, blues, hard rock, these is the ideal delay. It is of great quality and produces the great sound. And the boost feature is an excellent add-on which I find very useful.

Would recommend this pedal always

Good slapback pedal

Overall a good slapback pedal, used for rehearsal and live gigs, playing rockabilly. Dialing in is very easy to get a reasonable slapback echo quickly. Also features boost for that little edge. Not the best slapback pedal i owned but does the job. Looks sturdy to last on my minimal pedal board for a long time.

Juste the slapback I need !

I was looking for a perfect rockabilly-like slapback delay for my guitar, and I found the perfect one !

The JHS Milkman Delay Boost is a delay pedal co-created by the famous Milkman amplifier brand. It is meant to be a delay specially created to be used as a slapback, with very short time range and repeat. It also feature an EQ pot, which is more like a "tape aging" knob. It's also a nice boost with an independant footswitch.

The delay itself is really nice, warm and organic, the EQ setting really helps finding a tape echo feel.

The time setting is obviously too short to be anything else than a slapback, you got what you payed for.

More than the time setting, it's the repeat that I found too short... Impossible to achieve more than 2 repeat and a half, a bit short if you're looking for some psychedelic sound..

The boost is perfect, just as clean as it needs to with a really subtle "micro-amp" vide. Since this pedal is always on for me and is at the end of my pedalboard, I use it as a master volume before the amp, it's working out fine so far, allows me to choose how much I want to crank up the amp while going all the way up inside my other pedals.

I used to have a Strymon El Capistan but right now, the JHS is the one I need, old school but clear and well-defined, and also really easy to use.
