The Milkman by JHS is a collaboration pedal from JHS and Milkman Sound, described by the maker as "the new JHS Milkman collaboration pedal"1. It puts two functions in one box: a slap delay followed by a clean boost. Milkman Sound describes it as "designed to be the perfect compliment for your Milkman amplifier, or any other amplifier you have in your collection"1.
What it does
The pedal is laid out in two halves. On the left is a slap delay, a short delay effect often used to add depth and space to a clean tone. On the right is a simple clean boost placed after the slap, which the maker says you can use to push your amp into overdrive, or just add a little more gain1. For players exploring either function on its own, the site has pages on delay pedals and boost pedals.
| Section | Controls |
|---|---|
| Slap delay (left) | Time, mix, repeats (1 to 3), and an EQ for the repeats1 |
| Clean boost (right) | A simple clean boost after the slap1 |

Questions
What is The Milkman by JHS?
It is a collaboration pedal built by JHS with Milkman Sound. It combines two functions in one box: a slap delay on the left side of the pedal, with controls for time, mix, repeats and an EQ for the repeats, and a simple clean boost on the right that comes after the slap. Milkman Sound describes it as designed to be the perfect complement for a Milkman amplifier, or any other amplifier in a player's collection.
Can I use The Milkman by JHS with an amp other than a Milkman?
Yes. Although the pedal was designed with Milkman amplifiers in mind, the maker states it is intended to work as a complement for any other amplifier a player has in their collection. The clean boost section can be used to push an amp into overdrive, or simply to add a little more gain.
