Diamond Memory Lane Bucket Brigade Delay Pedal Overview
Introducing the Diamond Memory Lane: Reimagined Bucket Brigade Delay. It’s finally here, and it’s better than ever. Combining the classic analog companding and anti-aliasing/reconstruction filters with a bucket brigade style delay line, Diamond has ingeniously captured the ethereal essence of the original big-box Memory Lane using their groundbreaking digital Bucket Brigade Delay technology (dBBD).
In a smaller footprint, the Diamond Memory Lane offers over double the delay time, extended frequency response, higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and significantly reduced current draw. This innovative progression of the Memory Lane is defined by three distinct delay lines that provide both modern and vintage sounds.
Main Features:
- Delay Effects Pedal
- Bucket Brigade style circuit with 3 distinct delay lines and analog companding, anti-aliasing/reconstruction filters
- Utilizes Diamond’s original digital Bucket Brigade Delay technology
- Up to 1200ms delay time with lush modulated repeats
- Offers modern and vintage style sounds
- Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio and frequency response
- 3 delay styles: Modern, Warm, and Vintage
- Tap Tempo with Sub-divisions via dedicated footswitch
- Auto Div feature automatically adjusts the delay tempo if outside of the current mode’s time range
- Doubler feature allows for instant doubling of the delay tempo
- Advanced operation modes including Geezer Mode, Trails Mode, and Momentary/Latching Mode
- Top-mounted jacks and soft-touch relay switching
- Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
- Powered by a regular 9V DC PSU (centre -, 2.1mm, ~45mA current draw)
The Memory Lane Jr. circuit is reborn, delivering up to 1200ms of lush, modulated repeats. The original fixed sampling rate delay line has been enhanced with a new warm delay mode that offers vintage BBD-style variable sampling rate, warmer repeats, and a maximum delay time of 1200ms for gorgeous ambient delays. Additionally, the new vintage mode captures the magic of analog BBD delay pedals with variable sampling rate, snappier repeats, and delay times inspired by the big box delays of yesteryear.
Advanced Features:
- Geezer Mode for classic operation with no secondary footswitch functions
- Trails Mode for delayed signal trailing off according to the Feedback knob
- Momentary/Latching Mode for flexible switching of Delay Modulation and Doubler Feature
The Diamond Memory Lane combines years of research and development to deliver a unique sonic signature that can only be described as distinctly Memory Lane. It’s the perfect solution for modern pedal-users who crave space-saving design without compromising on quality. With top-mounted jacks, buffered bypass with optional trails, tap tempo with subdivisions, AutoDiv, Doubler, and momentary or latching modulation, the Diamond Memory Lane offers everything you need and more.
