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.

Key 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: 1- Tape: a warm, saturated delay with synced modulation and up to 1000ms of delay time 2- Harmonic: creates either a delayed octave or fifth above the input signal 3- 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.

Delay Pedals

Delay pedals repeat your guitar signal to create echoes, rhythmic patterns and spacious textures. They can be used subtly to add depth, or more dramatically for dotted-eighth repeats, slapback rockabilly sounds, ambient layers and experimental soundscapes.

Different delay types offer very different characters, from warm analogue repeats to clean digital echoes and tape-style modulation. A delay pedal is one of the most creative tools on a pedalboard because it can support simple lead lines, fill space in a mix and completely transform a part.

Delay

Delay pedals repeat the guitar signal to create echoes, rhythmic patterns and spacious textures ranging from short slapback repeats through to huge ambient soundscapes. Different delay styles such as analogue, digital and tape-inspired circuits all produce their own character and response.

Delay is one of the most creative effects available because it can add depth, groove and atmosphere without overwhelming the original guitar tone. It is widely used across rock, blues, indie, ambient, progressive and experimental music.
