Dipped in Classic Diamond DNA

If you are searching for the ultimate foundational gain pedal, the next-generation Diamond Drive might just be "the one." Drenched in classic Diamond DNA, this pedal is built on a foundation of our signature drive and EQ soundblocks. By distilling the most desirable and functional elements from our legendary legacy pedals—the original J-Drive, Blaze, and Fireburst—we have engineered a warm, wide-ranging overdrive that seamlessly adapts to any amplifier or guitar combination.

Premium Burr-Brown Overdrive Engine

Tailored for any occasion, the heart of the Diamond Drive is its premium, studio-grade Burr-Brown Op-amp. This meticulously tuned drive section is highly dynamic and touch-sensitive, capable of delivering everything from a gritty, harmonically rich clean boost to thick, natural asymmetric saturation that sings with tube-like compression.

Advanced Tone Sculpting with Baxandall EQ

Unlike traditional overdrives that rely on a single, passive tone roll-off, the Diamond Drive puts professional studio EQ right at your feet.

• Active Post-Gain Baxandall EQ: Take total control of your frequency response with a dual-band active EQ. Dial in thumping lows (Bass Frequency: 150 Hz +/- 6 dB) and articulate, cutting highs (Treble Frequency: 3 KHz +/- 6 dB) without compromising your core tone.
• Selectable Warm High Shelf Filter: Need to tame a bright amplifier or smooth out your high-end for a vintage-voiced solo? Engage the selectable Warm filter (Shelf Frequency: 1 KHz +/- 4.5 dB) to instantly soften harsh transients and sweeten your top end.

The New Standard in Pedalboard Utility

Engineered for the modern pedalboard, the Diamond Drive packs massive tone into a compact, space-saving design without sacrificing a drop of audio quality. Complete with modern top-mounted jacks, soft-touch relay true bypass switching, and high-headroom 9-18VDC operation, it’s built to be the reliable anchor of your touring or studio rig.
