Modulation, chorus, flanger, phaser & tremolo effect pedal
The Diamond Vibrato was designed in late 2006 to offer a true-picth analog vibrato pedal built around the famous BBD MN3007 chip. The BBD MN3007 chip creates those rich, organic, vibrant vibrato and chorus sounds that characterize the sounds of the guitar icons of the '70s and '80s. The Compandor circuit, borrowed from the Memory Lane Jr, adds warmth and complexity by controlling your dynamics. Acting as both a compressor and an expander, it gives the Vibrato its characteristic feel and response, but also reduces much of the noise inherent in BBD technology. The use of double-stacked PCBs has optimized space and improved isolation of the audio path from the power and switching circuits. This new Vibrato offers much more versatile operation from 9 to 18 Volts. For classic, precise Diamond Vibrato sounds with greater dynamics, power it at 18 Volts, like the original. Powering it at 9 Volts will give a little more color and movement, like the High mode of the original large Vibrato.
