Diamond pedals?

Teetonetal

When are joined these guys were always mentioned. I'd all but forgotten until I saw one in a shop today..

Anyone still loving them?

Helix has culled all but a few from my pedal collection... the Memory Lane Jr is one that made the cut as it’s very good indeed.

I was at a Besnard Lakes gig a while back and one of the guitarists was using a Diamond tremolo pedal. I Loved the sounds he was getting from it.

Awesome pedals. Not hyped these days but they are very well built and perfectly “tuned in” for want of a better description, I.e. built by someone who has a good set of ears, you can rarely set them to sound anything but brilliant, but not necessarily a tweakers delight. That’s why I love them.

I’ve had a Counter Point Delay on my board forever (and previous to that a Memory Lane Jr) and have the Comp jr on the board too.

Best tremolo pedal I ever had was the Diamond TRM-1. I quite miss it.

Can't say I've ever used a bad Diamond pedal. Love the Fireburst, the compressor is the best I've had, the delay options are excellent, modulation... the one-make pedalboard would still be Diamond or Boss for me. 

The Memory Lane Delux should be popular when it's out.

Oh shit, didn’t know about that, how exciting, I only upgrade my delay when a new Diamond one comes out!

Sorry, I should have said vibrato pedal. Probably the nicest one I've heard so far.

Been around 8 years since I've been without one of their compressors. A great set and forget pedal.

Always want to try the Diamond Drive with boost and the hard to get hold off Diamond Drive with treble boost.

@Heartfeltdawn - mate, Ive somehow missed this one altogether - good spot !

Ive owned several, and even custom ordered direct from Aimish... top top pedals.

Hmmm, I might be trying that Deluxe

Top stuff from what I've seen. menamestom has a very nice Diamond delay.

Great, solid maker of pedals.  I’ve had a comp on my board for c.10 years now.  Had a MEMORY LANE JNR for a few years and I’ve also got a Marquis.  Buy with confidence on Diamond pedals

Is this basically a DMM with an eq?

Heartfeltdawn

A DMM with greater control over modulation, EQ on the repeats, tap tempo, the 'dbl' settings of the MLJr, and a lower noise floor than a big box DMM and quite probably the XO box.

Interesting.  Thanks for the info

The diamond compressor was the pedal that started my gear quest...I’ve also owned the phaser. They are very well built, high quality pedals

It's gone, but I miss it and will probably have to get another.
