Chorus and Vibrato
Vibrato
The Diamond VIB1 Vibrato is a true analog vibrato pedal developed on a NOS MN3007 bucket brigade base. It incorporates a chorus controllable via a dedicated button to adjust the amount of effect injected into the original signal. The pedal offers a dedicated pitch vibrato design using bucket brigade analog delay technology for true pitch modulating vibrato. It features a 'JAZZ' switch that darkens the tone of the effect, offering a more vintage flavor, and a 'HIGH' toggle switch for a higher depth range for more extreme pitch bent sounds. The pedal also includes expression control of depth and speed for on-the-fly adjustment and special effects. It operates in mono true bypass mode and has extended headroom 15V internal voltage rail operation. The pedal uses NOS MN3007 bucket brigade delay chips and features a 'magic-eye' bi-color LED that shows vibrato LFO rate even when bypassed. Other features include all analog circuitry with VIshay JFET’s, Burr-Brown audiophile opamps, and Panasonic polyprop caps in the signal path, as well as variable chorus control for blending dry signal with pitch-shifted signal. It also supports expression pedal control of vibrato depth and speed, and is internally regulated to 15V. The pedal comes in a genuine Hammond cast aluminum case measuring 4.7 x 4.7 x 1.3 inches and includes a 9V power supply.
Halo Chorus
The Diamond Pedals Halo Chorus is a combination delay/pitch modulation/phase modulation chorus design with autoconfigurable I/O for mono, mono in/stereo out, and stereo in/stereo out operation. It features a parallel combination of delay/pitch modulation and phase modulation, providing versatile control over modulation effects from light chorusing to deep 'vibey' swirl. The stereo operation gives a wide stereo image spread while preserving the original guitar tone. Technical specifications include the use of NOS MN3007 analog bucket brigade chip running at 15V rails for extended headroom, dual opto 'vibe' phase modulation path also running at 15V rails, and all analog circuitry. The chorus also features a pure sinusoidal LFO using a dedicated function generator IC for smooth modulation with variable 'speed' and chorus pitch modulation depth 'ch depth'. It has controls for 'ch mix' and 'pm mix' that allow independent control of chorus and phase modulation mix levels in both mono and stereo configurations. Other features include a kill-dry switch for parallel FX loop operation or use of chorus path for pure vibrato, mono input signal passed through to both outputs on bypass, phase switch to invert phase of right channel output relative to left, LED indication of LFO speed, and expression pedal control of LFO speed. The chorus is internally regulated to 15V and can be run from a provided 24V adapter or from 18V pedal board power supply outputs. The Diamond Pedals Halo Chorus comes in a genuine Hammond cast aluminum case and offers a comprehensive set of features for creating rich and versatile modulation effects.

Compressor Jr
The Diamond Compressor Jr is a compact optical compressor pedal designed to provide simple yet powerful control over dynamics and tone. It features a Vactrol opto-isolator variable resistance path, similar to high-end studio compressors, for smooth attack and decay characteristics. The pedal is equipped with an EQ section that allows users to sculpt their tone, along with an Attack switch that enables a transition from ultra-snappy compression to softer, transparent compression. The pedal also includes a custom spec'd, US- made opto-isolator and modern, quiet switching. Additionally, it offers an all-analog, Burr-Brown audio path, top-mounted jacks, and 9-18VDC operation with relay-based true bypass switching. The Diamond Compressor Jr is designed and built entirely in Montreal, Quebec, and is suitable for guitarists seeking studio-grade compression in a compact pedal enclosure.
Delay
Memory Lane Jr
The Memory Lane Jr by Diamond is a digital adaptation of the company's original Memory Lane analog tap tempo delay. It offers up to 1200ms of delay time and features three distinct delay modes, including a warm delay mode for vintage BBD style variable sampling rate, a vintage mode capturing the magic of analog BBD delay pedals, and a modern mode for the modern pedal user's needs. The pedal also includes top-mounted jacks, Burr-Brown equipped buffered bypass with optional trails, tap tempo with subdivisions, AutoDiv, Doubler, momentary or latching modulation, and more. The Memory Lane Jr is designed with a space-saving footprint without any loss of quality and is made in Canada.
Counter Point
The Counter Point by Diamond is a multi-tap delay pedal with four unique operational modes. It features seamless knob or tap tempo delay time setting, intelligent mode memory, user-selectable tap delay 'hold down' mode to toggle modulation on/off in each mode, and adjustable modulation depth on delays. The pedal also includes premium audio components, user-selectable True Bypass or Buffered with Delay Trails operation, bi-color LEDs for visual indication of modes, LFO, and delay times, and TapView (TM) for visual indication of tap tempo speed. The pedal is equipped with AutoDouble (TM) tap algorithm in the Vintage mode, standard 9V negative tip adapter readiness, and a compact Hammond 1590BB cast aluminum case (approximately 4.7 x 3.7 x 1.2 inches).
Quantum Leap
The Quantum Leap by Diamond is a versatile delay toolbox pedal with various modes for flange, chorus, filter, tap delay, and pitch ramp delay. It features a tap-tempo capability for the LFO speed, comb filtering, and unique delay variations. The pedal has four knobs for speed, width, regen, and mix, with different functions depending on the active mode. The delay time can reach up to 600 ms, and the pedal offers features like harmonic and pitch-ramping delays, providing a wide range of creative possibilities for musicians. The Quantum Leap is designed for a wide range of live and studio applications, with practical features such as auto-save for settings and internal DIP switches for true bypass or buffered bypass with delay trails.
Overdrive and Boost
Cornerstone
The Cornerstone by Diamond is a versatile drive pedal featuring multiple discrete gain stages with distributed dual gain controls. It offers a wide range of drive profiles, from touch-sensitive low gain grit to searing leads. The pedal includes true bypass switching, dual, discrete gain controls, an active mid boost/cut control (750Hz center), a bright switch, and operates on standard -9VDC power. Additionally, it is designed with premium audio components, a small footprint with top-mounted jacks, and high-frequency contour switch for added tonal versatility.
Boost-EQ
The Diamond Boost-EQ is a low-noise discrete transistor-based clean boost with an innovative EQ section. The EQ borrows the powerful tilt equalization control from the Diamond Compressor and adds a new midrange cut/boost control for simple yet powerful tone shaping with just two knobs. The Boost-EQ features up to a 16dB signal boost, which can push most tube amp input stages well into overdrive territory, but with a wider frequency range and more responsive feel than standard diode clipping overdrive pedals. The boost-EQ’s simple goal is to enhance the natural drive character of a guitar amp’s tubes, anywhere from a light clean solo boost with 2-4 dB of gain to heavier tube breakup with higher level boost. Key features and technical specifications include: \- Premium audio components, including 2% polypropylene capacitors, 1% metal film resistors, and a pro audio grade opamp. \- Post-boost ’tilt’ EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response, allowing for a seamless transition from a darker jazz voicing to a brighter jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position. \- Midrange cut/boost EQ placed at the fulcrum of the tilt EQ for a unique parametric EQ response. \- Dual AC capacitive coupling paths for improved transient response. \- True bypass signal path. \- Battery or standard negative tip 9V DC adapter operation, can be powered from 9 to 18 V negative tip. The Boost-EQ is designed to provide a transparent clean boost and versatile EQ shaping for guitarists seeking to enhance their tone and drive character.
