DIAMOND VIBRATO
All-analog Bucket Brigade Vibrato
The original Diamond Vibrato was conceived in late 2006 to create an analog, true-pitch Vibrato pedal, built around the revered MN3007 bucket brigade chip. It is now back and with new features too.
The revered MN3007 Bucket Brigade Delay chip creates the rich, organic, and warbling Vibrato & Chorus tones which make the sounds of the 70s and 80s guitar icons.
The Compandor Circuit, borrowed from the Memory Lane Jr., adds warmth and complexity by controlling your dynamics. Acting as both a compressor and expander, it gives the Vibrato its signature feel and response but also reduces much of the noise inherently found in BBD technology.
Using dual stacked PCB's allowed to optimize space and enhance the isolation of the audio path from the power and switching circuits.
The new Vibrato offers a much more versatile 9-18VDC operating range. For classic, pristine and lush Diamond Vibrato tones with added headroom, power the pedal at 18VDC like the original. Powering it at 9VDC will add a bit more color and warble, much like the "High Mode" in the original big-box Vibrato.
