Troika Delay Standard

The Troika Delay comes to you from the thundering minds of JHS Pedals and Third Man Hardware like a chariot over the Russian tundra. This is a multi-purpose, studio-grade delay device like you’ve never seen before. Jack White loves using delay pedals on his voice, but the process can cause lots...

Interesting concept, could be useful for recording. I’m a Jack White fan boy and will probably get it.

No 48v phantom which I assume is for cost savings.

Thoughts?
 
Just watched the full video.

Some glaring mistakes IMO, can be modded but design fail.

Internal switches for mic/instrument, reverb tails on/off and gain.

Ooof.
 
Eh, kinda neat. Seems like a decent unit for when you want delay on a mic without the hassle of doing vocal effects chain with line/instrument converters or a Pigtronix Keymaster. While it’s not the most exciting thing ever, I’d build one if Robert release a PCB for it just so I can have quick access to delay for when I mic up my talkbox
 
"The bypass switch is above the sliders to keep it out of the way of on-the-fly adjusting."

Not because the footswitch wouldn't fit at the bottom of that enclosure? Doesn't look terribly ergonomic to me!
 
Saw a band (The Wameki) last night where the vocalist just plugged a mic into a guitar delay pedal. It worked fine and they rocked harder and were more punk than Jack White ever did or was. Although, FWIW, I'd build a PPCB that had the same concept, because singers that move around a lot would probably benefit from a low profile, low complexity pedal situation.

I think the taptempo/oscillation switch in my DOD Rubberneck would be enough control for vocals as well.

Maybe the tempo switch (Rubbernecking) would be fun as well.

That’s hilarious. Looks like a typical Jack White backwards design. “On the fly” tweaking is more important than turning the pedal on and off properly without kicking the sliders? Riiiiiiight 😂 Not the best design choice imo.
