Diamond Pedals Tremolo - Surf Green

Welcome to the 21st Century

Tremolo has been a foundational guitar effect since the 1960s, but it's time to bring it into the modern era. Don’t let your preconceptions fool you—this is not your average tremolo pedal. Combining three distinct trem flavors into one compact enclosure, the next-generation Diamond Pedals Tremolo takes what it means to be a modulation pedal and pushes it well beyond the traditional limits.

Whether you are chasing the hypnotic sway of a vintage amplifier or the staccato chop of modern electronic music, this pedal acts as the ultimate tone-warping machine for your rig.

Dual Tremolo Modes & Waveforms

At its core, the Diamond Tremolo offers two completely distinct circuit paths, giving you unparalleled versatility in a single pedal:

• Optical Tremolo: Delivers the warm, natural, vintage amp-style amplitude modulation you know and love. Select between three distinct waveforms: smooth Sine, asymmetrical Shark Fin, and hard-hitting Square.
• FET Chopper: Need a sharper edge? Engage the modern FET chopper for a completely killed, hard-edged tremolo effect. It also features a new Dicer Mode, allowing you to arm the pedal and use the footswitch as a highly responsive, momentary kill switch.

Advanced Rhythm & Performance Features

Small but mighty, this pedal is loaded with performance-friendly features designed for live gigging and precise studio work.

• Tap Tempo & Subdivisions: Keep your modulation perfectly in time with the band.
• 11-Position Rhythm Control: Access a wide variety of different depth, mode, and tempo accents to create highly complex rhythmic patterns.
• Insta-Chop & Speed Doubler: Engage the speed doubler in either momentary or latching operation to inject sudden bursts of energy into your solos and transitions.

The New Standard in Pedalboard Utility

Engineered to meet the demands of modern pedal users, the Diamond Tremolo boasts an all-analog, high-fidelity Burr-Brown audio path paired with smart microprocessor control. Packed into a space-saving design with modern top-mounted jacks and relay-based true bypass switching, it delivers studio-grade audio quality without compromising pedalboard real estate.
