The concept for Diamond Pedals’ Boost/EQ began in the early 2000s, with a request for a ‘compression-less’ version of the famed Diamond Compressor - combining a clean boost circuit with the Compressor’s Tilt EQ.  Nearly 20 years after the original pedal’s launch, we've re-imagined this idea on the same platform as the Comp/EQ. Introducing the next-generation Diamond Boost/EQ. This versatile, low-noise pedal delivers a punchy, dynamic sound that’s ideal for any setup. 

What a buzzword “compression” is. But as soon as you slap one into your chain, you can never go back. Applicable in almost every situation, compression is the glue that keeps your tone tight and in the pocket.  Rather than mess with perfection, the Diamond Comp/EQ augments the original bass-tuned yellow box design with a new Mids boost/cut control, 3-position Tilt Frequency switch, custom spec'd, US-made opto-isolators and modern, quiet switching. While the original Diamond Compressor was a formidable pedal, we can confidently say that this next generation is the best version of the Diamond Compressor yet.

Combining silky smooth, natural optical compression with our signature hi-fi inspired, centre-detent active tilt EQ and Mid boost/cut control, the Comp/EQ is a mastering solution for your effects chain... one you might never turn off. We are serious when we say this pedal will always be on. Whether you’re looking for the snappiest compression to complement your intricate funk leads or soft transparent style compression to just add that perfect final touch to your tone, the Diamond Comp/EQ can do it all. So here’s how to use your new “always-on” pedal.

Place the Comp/EQ at the very beginning of your signal chain for a traditional compression effect, or place it at the very end of the chain to act as a limiter. Need a boost? Place the Comp/EQ behind your drives and fuzzes with the Comp set low to send your leads soaring! For the modern pedal-user's needs. Space-saving design, without any loss of quality. Complete with all analogue, Burr-Brown audio path, top-mounted jacks, 9- 18vdc operation and relay-based true bypass switching.
