Diamond Guitar Pedals

The Diamond Memory Lane - the analog delay with tap tempo control.

The Memory Lane has a number of innovations that bridge the feature
gap between analog and digital delays while retaining the warmth and
unique sound of bucket brigade delay devices in an all analog signal path.
Offering up to 550 ms delay time, tempo can be set either by dial
or by foot tap switch. When you don't need foot control of tempo, you
can use the second foot switch as an on/off switch for the modulation
feature simply by switching the small 'feature' toggle switch from 'tap'
to 'mod'.

Feature List:
- 550 ms approx analog delay time using
2 NOS MN3005’s running at 15V
- tap tempo footswitch control of analog delay time,
OR footswitchable modulation on/off:
'feature' switch allows selection of footswitch for either
tap tempo operation or modulation on/off
- vibrato modulation depth and speed controls
- tilt EQ in delay / feedback path provides subtle control
over frequency spectrum of repeats (from increasingly
dark repeats to flat to increasingly bright repeats)
- 'kill-dry' delay only output for amplifiers with
parallel effect loops
- inserting cable into delay only output jack automatically
removes delay signal from mix output giving separate
direct only and delay only outputs
- true bypass operation for mix/direct output
 - pristine signal paths using premium opamps,
polypropylene caps and metal film resistors
- expression pedal input to control feedback level
- ability to use standard 1/4" stereo to two 1/4"
mono insert cable in expression pedal input to insert
an effect or chain of effects into the feedback loop
(can also be used to insert a standard volume pedal
as feedback control)
- LED flashes for visual feedback of delay time
- self-oscillating feedback path with ability to shape
via feedback EQ in realtime
- analog voltage supply internally regulated to 15V for
low noise operation and increased headroom in line level
effect loops
- rugged genuine Hammond aluminum diecast enclosure
- DC adapter included

Early samples from our Rev 1 board. These samples below are effect on only, unlike our normal samples
which have an effect off section followed by effect on.

Sample 1: no modulation
Sample 2: no modulation
Sample 3: mild modulation
