HALF THE SIZE, ALL THE SOUND Don’t let the size cause you to underestimate the power packed within. We’ve managed to stuff all the VIBRATO’s analog audio path, Compandor and BBD Delay circuits in pedalboard-friendly sized enclosure. By using dual stacked PCB’s, we’ve not only optimized space but also enhanced the isolation of the audio path from the power and switching circuits. Add top jacks, soft-touch True Bypass switching, and standardized negative-center 9-18 V DC input with polarity and over-voltage protection for a bulletproof pedal ready for any gig. ANALOG BBD DELAY LINE At the heart of this pedal lies the revered MN3007 Bucket Brigade Delay chip, renowned for its ability to create the rich, organic, and warbling Vibrato & Chorus tones which make the sounds of the 70s and 80s guitar icons. The MN3007 infuses its signature character to your guitar signal—delivering a natural, liquid-like pitch modulation with a rounded vintage texture and mojo that is missing from modern digital counterparts. COMPANDER MAGIC Our Compandor Circuit adds warmth and complexity by controlling your dynamics. Acting as both a compressor and expander, it not only gives the VIBRATO its signature feel and response but also reduces much of the noise inherently found in BBD technology. Borrowed from the Memory Lane Jr., the updated compandor design in the VIBRATO provides increased clarity, less distortion and is pre-trimmed therefore will never have to be recalibrated. INPUT VOLTAGE While the original VIBRATO could only be powered by an 18 V DC reverse polarity power supply (internally regulated to 15 V DC) - the new VIBRATO offers a much more versatile 9-18 V DC operating range. The voltage is internally regulated based on the power input and as a result, the pedal will sound slightly different depending on operating voltage as the clock frequency will shift. For classic, pristine and lush Diamond VIBRATO tones with added headroom, power the pedal at 18 V DC like the original. Powering it at 9 V DC will add a bit more color and warble - much like the “High Mode” in the original big-box VIBRATO. You can take advantage of the added range or just dial back the depth. Better yet, grab a Cioks power supply and try it at 12 V DC or 15 V DC regardless of what you settle on, the Diamond VIBRATO will sound great! As always, we recommend using a good quality, isolated power supply.
