Diamond Pedals BOOST/EQ
Kick It Up A Notch
The concept for Diamond Pedals’ Boost/EQ began in the early 2000s, with a request for a ‘compression-less’ version of the famed Diamond Compressor - combining a clean boost circuit with the Compressor’s Tilt EQ.
Nearly 20 years after the resulting original pedal’s launch, we've re-imagined this idea on the same platform as the Comp/EQ. Introducing the next-generation Diamond Boost/EQ. This versatile, low-noise pedal delivers a punchy, dynamic sound that’s ideal for any set-up.
Main Features
• Boost and Equalizer Effects Pedal
• Added Boost/OD switch - for selecting between clipping options
Up: Clean boost for increased signal output
Down: Adds soft clipping for a transparent and musical low to mid gain overdrive
• Up to +20 dB of Clean Boost on tap in Boost mode
• 800 Hz +/- 6dB Tilt EQ Fulcrum Frequency
• 800 Hz +/- 10dB Mid EQ Center Frequency
• Top-mounted jacks and soft touch relay switching
• True Bypass
• Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
• Powered by a regular 9-18 V DC PSU (centre -, 2,1 mm, ~18 mA current draw)
Taking the lively, high-fidelity gain stages of the Comp/EQ, the Boost/EQ offers plenty of punch while maintaining clarity and transparency. While the Tilt and Mid controls give you complete freedom to sculpt your tone. Need more sparkle? Dial it in with the Tilt knob. Looking for a midrange boost to cut through your solos? The Mid control has you covered. Want to make your Marshall tone a bit more Fender-esque? It’s all possible with Diamond’s Boost/EQ.
In addition, the Boost/EQ features a second mode that provides a low-gain overdrive - transparent, yet full of character. This makes the Boost/EQ the ultimate Swiss Army knife for your pedalboard, combining clean boost, tone shaping and overdrive, into one powerful and versatile pedal.
The Boost/EO offers 2 distinct modes of operation. The first is a clean boost mode designed to increase the output of your signal enabling you to beef-up low-output pickups, drive tube amps and dirt pedals for increased sustain and saturation or simply have your solos jump out in the mix.
Set to the OD mode, the gain structure of the pedal is modified and soft clipping diodes are added to the circuit. This provides smooth, transparent, musical distortion that ranges from just a touch of hair and harmonic overtones, to a nice low to mid gain overdrive.
Depending on where your Boost/EO is placed in your signal chain, it will either deliver an increase in volume or distortion/saturation. Place it at the end of your pedal chain or in an amp's series FX loop for a volume boost. Put it in front of your drives and fuzzes for more gain and distortion.
Diamond Pedals Innovating Sonic Excellence Originally founded by Michael Knappe in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 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. In 2005, a new era of innovation in the pedal industry was ushered in. That was the year that Diamond introduced their now legendary Compressor and the game-changing Memory Lane; the world-first all analog tap-tempo Delay.
The next few years saw many innovative Diamond designs being brought to the market and many now beloved industry staples would leave the brand’s workbenches. However, in 2020 and 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 mastermind Greg Djerrahian reached out to see if he could help out, whether that be assisting with manufacturing, producing parts or other elements of pedal production as they wanted to do whatever it could to “keep this pedal institution alive.” One thing led to another and SolidGoldFX 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 and long admired pedal circuits, Greg and his team have launched 5 new devices, all building on the original designs of Diamond’s most iconic flagship pedals. Reborn, Diamond Pedals will continue the development of sonically excellent and inspiringly innovative effects, with all design and manufacturing now happening in their fully equipped facility located in Montreal, Canada.
