JHS Milkman

The JHS Milkman: Slap Delay and Clean Boost in One Compact Pedal

Two Independent Effects for Versatile Tone Shaping

The JHS Milkman combines two essential effects—clean boost and slap delay—into a compact pedal designed for country, Americana, and slide players. Developed in collaboration with Tim Marcus of Milkman Sound, this pedal is perfect for those who need a simple, effective solution to enhance their tone. With fully independent effects, the Milkman delivers everything you need to craft a rich, dynamic sound without overcomplicating your rig.

Clean Boost for Natural Overdrive or Preamp Use

On the right side of the pedal, the Milkman offers a fully clean boost that can push your amp into natural overdrive or serve as an always-on preamp to enrich your tone. This versatile boost is perfect for adding a touch of grit to your sound or elevating your signal for solos. Whether subtle or aggressive, the boost ensures your tone stays clear and articulate.

Slap Delay for Creamy Echo and Spacious Soundscapes

The left side of the Milkman features a slap delay with intuitive controls for Slap, Mix, Repeat, and EQ. The Slap control adjusts the delay time from 0ms for doubling effects to 250ms for rich, spacious echoes. Mix determines the echo volume, while Repeat sets the number of delay repetitions. The EQ knob lets you fine-tune the delay’s tone, from warm and ambient to bright and cutting. This classic slapback delay is ideal for country, rockabilly, and beyond.

Compact, User-Friendly Design

The Milkman’s small footprint ensures it fits easily on any pedalboard, while its straightforward design makes dialing in your sound effortless. Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancements or bold, spacious echoes, this pedal delivers versatility without overcomplication.

Ideal for Slide, Country, and Americana

Tailored for players who need simplicity without sacrificing tone, the Milkman is a perfect match for slide guitar, country picking, and Americana styles. Its combination of clean boost and slap delay provides the tonal foundation to let your playing shine in any setting.
