Updated Pedal: Diamond Memory Lane V2 Delay

The original - and now vintage - Diamond Pedals Memory Lane Delay went down in history as the first (analog) delay with tap tempo, but the unit received plenty of great feedback for its sound too. It was a big pedal and based on a chip that went out of production, which forced a premature retirement.... Click on the title for more

Pedal Review: Diamond’s Memory Lane Jr.

At $279, Diamond's Memory Lane Jr. is more attainable by most guitarists than its $600 analog big brother, Memory Lane 2. And yet the Memory Lane Jr. has similar features, twice the delay time and it can run off a 9-volt battery. The big difference is that the Memory Lane 2 is all-analog, so you get that great vintage warmth. If you've got the means, you'd better move fast, though: Diamond's mine of NOS Panasonic MN3005 chips is running out, and with it goes the 2. Memory Lane Jr. is the practical choice then, but is it as good? That depends how you feel about digital technology. Memory Lane Jr. digitally records up to 1.2 schumtz-free seconds, whereas Memory Lane 2's analog chip maxes out at half that. Don't worry, though: That crystal-clear digital recording gets the all-analog treatment at the processing stage, preserving that intangible warmth so obsessed over by analog purists....

Guitar Pedal Reviews: Diamond Pedals Quantum Leap

I am a big fan of short delays or slap backs if you will. Nothing like a little "Nashville spank" to liven up your guitar tone. If that's all this pedal I'm about to review was capable of, then we'd still be in pretty good shape. However the Quantum Leap can do a lot more. Diamond Pedals claims it to be a tone toolkit of short delays - and if you consider that affects like chorus and flanger are also delay-related effects - that's exactly what this box is. Construction is solid and high quality components were used in the making of this pedal... Click on the title for more
