Joyo Audio keeps pumping out the effect pedals, and the newest unit from the Chinese company is the Nascar Delay, an analog stompbox that delivers vintage tape echo-like sounds.

The Nascar is inspired by the classic bucket-brigade device circuit and is designed to produce tones “perfect for sentimental guitar solos,” according to Joyo.

The pedal boasts knobs for delay, feedback and mix, with a toggle that options three LED light modes (sync/always on/off). 

The Nascar carries a street price of $58.99. For more information, speed over to Joyo.
