The milkman is on his round again! A nice little metaphor for a tape delay created in conjunction with Tim Marcus of Milkman Sound. A straightforward, yet intuitive concept, the Milkman serves up a gorgeous echo, combined with a boost you can use as an always-on effect or to push your valve amp into overdrive.

Sound

Designed from the ground up to deliver a beautifully warm slap delay, the Milkman is an easy-to-use stompbox you can fit onto any style of pedalboard. Controls consist of a slap to alter the delay time, mix, which blends the wet/dry signals, repeat for the effect length and EQ to adjust the brightness of the echo. Pushed to the max, the Milkman can produce up to about four and half repeats.

With the EQ turned up high, you’ll get a classic tape delay machine break-up. Pushed all the way anti-clockwise, you’re getting a sound akin to a BBD analogue delay. On the right hand side of the pedal you’ll find the boost, which is a nifty feature for getting a gritty blend of swampy delay and drive.

JHS Pedals

JHS Pedals grew from Josh Scott’s pedal-modification work in 2007 into a Kansas City effects maker. Scott’s first original designs followed in 2008; the Morning Glory began as his reinvention of the Marshall Bluesbreaker. The JustPedals catalogue carries the Morning Glory V4 and Muffuletta, along with practical tools such as the Little Black Buffer, Buffered Splitter and Little Black Amp Box. JHS describes its guitar pedals as made in Kansas City, USA. The range mixes original drive and fuzz designs with utility pedals, so the current listings show more than a single “boutique overdrive” identity.

Boost Pedals

A boost raises signal level without deliberately creating a new effect waveform. Clean boosts emphasise level and headroom, while coloured boosts reshape bass, midrange or treble and may add mild clipping at higher settings. Placed before a gain stage, the extra level changes how that stage distorts; placed later, it can provide a volume lift if sufficient headroom remains.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Delay

Creates one or more time-separated copies of the signal. Delay time sets their spacing, feedback determines how many repeats continue, and filtering, modulation or saturation decides whether successive echoes remain clean, darken, wobble or break apart.
