The Diamond Vibrato Is BACK! | Tone Report

Buy The Diamond Vibrato on Reverb: shorturl.at/MQS69
Due in no small part to Tame Impala's prominent use of the effect, original Diamond Vibrato pedals have soared in price on the used market. But to anyone worried that it was quickly turning into a new generation's Klon, rejoice: There are 400 new Diamond Vibrato reissues that include the original chips that powered the modern classic.
The Diamond Vibrato 2024 is available in a Reverb-exclusive Surf Green colorway (aka seafoam green), like the custom shop color of old, and in the standard purple.

Kevin Parker is jumping with joy rn

[@sgfxdiamond]

He was top on our list to get one 💜

[@rgrgraterol]

the reason I got mine :)

[@jonnyalec5646]

LOL true dude, lonerism in a box

[@WyattBrown377]

as if he plays guitar anymore

[@coldacre]

Kevin hasnt written an album on guitar since 2011. he's a synth DAW guy now.

[@anthonyprincipe2565]

Everyone should have as much fun at their job as Andy does. Nice work Diamond! The seasick swirl is back!

[@jgfletcher5509]

Andy is the reason I originally bought my first Diamond Vibrato. Always coming out with the solid demos

[@AndyDemos]

So happy to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@chrisjbauer3170]

Have been waiting for this!!

[@adamshoop]

I don’t think I have ever looked forward to an Andy demo so much as this. And the Graham Coxon tender bit did not go unnoticed 🎉

[@moosedog1723]

That pedal is so cool 🤩🤩

[@jeradlewis]

I was surprised to get more than halfway through this before hearing one of Graham Coxon's guitar lines, but I knew Andy wouldn't let me down.

[@nickolasecker9596]

Of all pedals I’ve been wanting reissues of, the Diamond compressor and vibrato were towards the very top. Now if we could just get a big box dmm reissue.

[@AndyDemos]

Always getting my Surf and Seafoam Green mixed up ;)

[@Reverb]

Sick riffs, so, call it whatever you want.

[@danielbordonaro]

Andy, you're the reason I bought a Malekko Vibrato circa 2009, and now you're going to be the reason I replace it with a Diamond 15 years later.

[@winstonsmith8236]

Sounds great. The only fancy vibrato I haven’t tried… of course it comes out the day after Chase Bliss takes all my money…

[@charleshale8504]

Sounds incredible; wonder how it is as a bass chorus, especially at 18v

[@edadpops1709]

Ah the 80 s loves this pedal . I like it.

[@adrian_pagan]

sounds killer

[@FaustPoon]

Omg it’s so cute

[@joermnyc]

I’m more of a fan of optical vibrato, like the old Voodoo Labs Microvibe, JHS Unicorn, or my current one because I needed to go even smaller: the Schutone Spiralizer.

[@frankphvrvon3153]

Why the price is so high??

[@Lovetone1983]

gotta love that tac soldered resistor @2:34

[@winstonsmith8236]

I take it that that’s bad?

[@ohpotatoesandmolasses]

Andy what on earth is this Vox HSS Strat you're playing

[@gffg387]

Which one sounds better, the purple or the green one?

[@sgfxdiamond]

They are the same!

[@christopherrusch]

you just have to buy both to find out

[@gffg387]

@@christopherrusch I've heard that the green one sounds a bit more modern.

[@MrNatural_OG]

vs EHX EDDY?

[@live2shredguy]

Now make one in stereo

frustrating demo; as it always is when people demo vibrato pedals. I always want to hear it at its slowest speed setting. parameters never seem to be a thing. back around 2010 I bought a VB-1 off Diamond directly and they did a slower speed mod for me. I was an idiot and traded it; thinking I could always get another one at a later date.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

I ordered the green one out of curiosity... If i don't vibe with it I can always sell it as the green is a limited colorway.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Scott buys is; plays with it for one hour, then never again.

[@ab8817]

great, just as i thought we would maybe stop hearing vibrato on every band's record as we have for the past 3 years, this guarantees at least another 2 more. was cool at first but now has become kind of an annoying and predictable trope.

What a boring pedal, the first Andy demo that did not pump my nads

You're nuts man, my nads are super pumped.
