About Diamond Pedals Originally founded by Michael Knappe in Canada in 2003, Diamond Pedals had a goal to create devices that improve the sound quality of the modern guitar player, while maintaining familiar product usability. Their now legendary Compressor and the game-changing Memory Lane, the world-first all analog tap-tempo delay, are beloved industry staples.
In 2020, right in the midst of the global pandemic, Diamond Pedals was sadly forced to shut down their operations.
Seeking to assist their fellow Canadian brand, SolidGoldFX reached out to see if they could help and eventually ended up acquiring the Diamond Pedals brand and designs in 2021.
After two long years of endless research, development and tinkering with Diamond’s original circuits, the brand is re-launched with a first run of re-releases that faithfully re-creates their venerable circuits yet expands them with new features.
