Third Man Hardware and JHS Pedals’ new Troika delay is “more than a pedal” – you can use it with microphones, guitars, “or any instrument you want”
Jack White’s Third Man Hardware has teamed up with JHS Pedals on a new delay pedal, the Troika. It’s not just a guitar pedal, though – it’s also designed to work with “microphones or any instrument you want to use”.
Designed for both desktop use and in professional recording studios – as well as on stage, the Troika is described as a “horse-powered” instrument and microphone delay product “unlike anything else on the market”.

Available in a standard black colourway and a yellow version exclusive to Reverb, it’s equipped with both XLR and ¼” inputs and outputs. It utilises a hi-grade Lundahl transformer on the mic input, as well as a secondary output transformer, enabling it to work well with other effects.
It’s also been handily designed with sliders so it looks like a mini mixing console, which White opted for to give him greater real-time control of the unit in a live setting. The bypass switch is found above the sliders to keep it out of the way.
“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,” says a message on the Third Man Records website.
“Jack White loves using delay pedals on his voice, but the process can cause lots of problems, including noise, volume drops, and loss of clarity. When Jack brought this idea to Josh, we immediately gave it the same care and attention we gave to the Colour Box and the Pulp N Peel [from JHS]. The Troika is more than a pedal… If you want to use a delay that’s different from everything else on the market, look no further!”

Both versions of the Troika delay are available now. The standard black version is priced at $349, while the limited-edition yellow comes in at $369.
