Diamond Pedals Dark Cloud
Textural Delay

Diamond Pedals proudly announces the launch of the Dark Cloud, an innovative delay pedal that represents the pinnacle of hybrid analog-digital design. Drawing on the company's rich heritage in crafting exceptional analog effects, the Dark Cloud merges classic tone with cutting edge technology to deliver a delay pedal like no other.

At the heart of the Dark Cloud is Diamond’s revolutionary Digital Bucket Brigade Delay (dBBD) technology, which seamlessly blends the organic warmth of analog companding with the precise control of an embedded digital system. This unique architecture allows the Dark Cloud to deliver three distinct and creative delay modes (Tape, Harmonic and Reverse), each meticulously crafted to provide a wide range of sonic possibilities.

Where analog warmth meets digital precision, the Dark Cloud redefines delay effects to create a pedal like no other.

Main Features
• Textural Delay Effects Pedal using Diamonds original digital Bucket Brigade Delay technology
• Combines the sound and feel of analog Companding and Anti-Aliasing with an embedded system delay line
• 3 delay styles:
o Tape: a warm, saturated delay with synced modulation and up to 1000ms of delay time
o Harmonic: creates either a delayed octave or fifth above the input signal
o Reverse: plays a classic delay backward, offering a smooth and Lo-fi reversed delay with an expanded time range
• Tap Tempo with quarter note, eighth note and dotted eighth subdivisions via dedicated footswitch
• Doubler feature allows for instant or momentary doubling of the delay tempo
• Selectable Trails or Kill modes when turning the pedal off
• Top-mounted jacks and soft touch relay switching
• Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
• Powered by a regular 9V DC PSU (not supplied - requires centre - 2.1 mm, ~45 mA current draw)

The Dark Cloud holds special significance as the final project conceived by the original Diamond team before their closure. What began as a modest attempt to repurpose older designs evolved into a masterful blend of the company's most beloved delay algorithms, combined with an entirely new Reverse Delay setting.

As a result, the Dark Cloud is essentially a “greatest hits” of Diamond's delay technology, refined into one powerful pedal that pushes the boundaries of what delay effects can achieve.

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.
