Compact Footprint.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diamond Vibrato started back in late 2006 with a simple yet ambitious idea: craft an analog, true-pitch vibrato pedal built around the revered MN3007 Bucket Brigade Device. It promptly became one of the world's most coveted and sought-after vibrato pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, nearly two decades later, the Diamond Vibrato is not only back—it’s better than ever. This next-generation pedal incorporates decades of end-user feedback to deliver maximum efficiency, modern pedalboard-friendly features, and a meticulous redesign, all while preserving the signature Diamond quality and tone that made the original legendary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnalog BBD Delay Line\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this pedal lies the highly revered MN3007 Bucket Brigade Delay (BBD) chip. Renowned for its ability to create the rich, organic, and warbling vibrato and chorus tones that defined the 70s and 80s, the MN3007 infuses your guitar signal with natural, liquid-like pitch modulation. Expect a rounded, vintage texture and undeniable mojo completely missing from modern digital counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompandor Magic\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur custom Compandor circuit adds warmth and complexity by expertly controlling your dynamics. Acting as both a compressor and expander, it gives the Vibrato its signature feel while heavily reducing the noise inherently found in BBD technology. Borrowed from our Memory Lane Jr., this updated, pre-trimmed compandor design provides increased clarity and less distortion without ever needing recalibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExpanded Voltage Versatility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the original Vibrato could only be powered by an 18VDC reverse polarity supply, the new Vibrato offers a much more versatile 9-18VDC operating range. Because the internal clock frequency shifts based on voltage, you can actively shape your tone via your power supply:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18VDC: Delivers the classic, pristine, and lush Diamond Vibrato tones with maximum headroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9VDC: Adds a bit more color and intense warble—recreating the \"High Mode\" found in the original big-box unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHalf the Size, All of the Sound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t let the compact size fool you. We’ve managed to stuff the entire analog audio path, Compandor, and BBD delay circuits into a pedalboard-friendly enclosure by using dual stacked PCBs. This smart design optimizes space while enhancing the isolation of the audio path from power switching. Complete with top-mounted jacks, soft-touch Relay True Bypass switching, and over-voltage protection, this pedal is virtually bulletproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffect Type: True-Pitch Vibrato and Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Path: 100% Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBBD Chip: MN3007 Bucket Brigade Device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: Soft-touch Relay True Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput \/ Output: Top-mounted jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: Greater than 1 MΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: Less than 10 KΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz Switch (UP) High Roll-Off: 5 kHz w\/ -3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz Switch (DOWN) High Roll-Off: 1.5 kHz w\/ -3dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirements: 9-18 VDC (negative tip, 2.1mm barrel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent Draw: 40mA @ 9V \/ 45mA @ 18V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 4.8\" x 2.64\" x 1.58\" (122 x 66.98 x 39.64 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 280g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Proudly designed and hand-built in Montreal, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Diamond Pedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48554739106047,"sku":"Diamond Vibrato Purple Sparkle","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1110\/3544\/files\/medium_c1d95553-c96d-4f5e-a0ce-4ff8db8b5a78.jpg?v=1779309398","url":"https:\/\/www.cottonwoodmusicemporium.com\/products\/diamond-pedals-vibrato-midnight-sparkle","provider":"Cottonwood Music Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
