Updated Pedal: Diamond Memory Lane V2 Delay

Diamond Pedals Memory Lane V2 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.

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.
