“We do this because building pedals is our passion... bordering obsession. Seriously, we're some apex nerds over here.”
Built and designed in-house at their Canadian shop, Diamond's analog pedals are the work of players who care about how a circuit feels under your foot. Sound quality, intuitive controls, components chosen to hold up over years of gigs and sessions - every decision starts there.
Whether you're chasing overdrive, delay, modulation, or something harder to name, these pedals are made to sound right and stay out of your way. Their small team builds them because they simply love building them, and the moment a player plugs in and something opens up is what the work is for.
A Canadian legacy, carefully revived.
Diamond's been building pedals since 2004, originally out of Halifax and now from a fully equipped shop in Montreal under SolidGoldFX's Greg Djerrahian. The relaunch wasn't a reboot from scratch - it was a year and a half of going through the original schematics with a fine-toothed comb to keep the Diamond DNA intact while bringing the platform up to modern spec.
The pedal that put them on the map.
In 2005, Diamond introduced the Memory Lane - the world's first all-analog tap-tempo delay - a pedal that found its way onto boards belonging to The Edge, Johnny Marr, and Ed O'Brien. The current Memory Lane carries that lineage forward, alongside the Comp/EQ that Marr has called the best compressor for his Jaguars.
Same circuits, modern footprint.
The new lineup keeps the original Diamond circuits - Drive, Comp/EQ, Memory Lane, Tremolo, Bass Comp/EQ - but rehouses them in a standard-size enclosure with top jacks, soft-touch switching, and a clean control layout. Easier to fit on a board, easier to power, and no compromise to the tones the originals were known for.
