Critic Reviews

JHS Pink Panther Delay Pedal Review - InSync

sweetwater.com

The JHS Pink Panther Delay Pedal charms with its digital versatility and modulation options, catering to both pristine digital repeats and gritty analog-style delays. Its range from slapback to a full second makes it adaptable for any setup. While it shines in creative applications, its digital nature might not please purists seeking a purely analog experience. Overall, a commendable tool for diverse soundscapes.
