Diamond Pedals reboots their Memory Lane Modulated Delay - now with a higher fidelity STM32 Arm Processor and 4 new Modes
Key Points
Diamond Pedals rebooted the Memory Lane Modulated Delay with an STM32 ARM processor, improved Signal to Noise Ratio and frequency response, and up to 2400 ms delay.
Controls: Mix, Feedback, Delay, Modulation, Tap/Mode (Memory Lane JR / Vintage / Galloping 2-Head / Ambient 3-Head), On/Off footswitch, Tap/Double footswitch.
Features: Bucked Brigade-style circuit with 3 delay lines, analog companding, anti-aliasing/reconstruction filters, Tap Tempo with Auto Div, Doubler, Trails, Geezer, Momentary/Latching modes.
Top-mounted jacks, soft-touch relay switching, hand-made in Montreal; powered by a regular 9V DC (centre-, 2.1mm, ~50mA). As of 2026-07-13, the price was £204. For electrical safety or opening/modifying the pedal, consult a qualified tech.
So this is very much still a BBD-style Delay, but now loaded with a superior fidelity STM32 Arm Processor.
Superficially it looks identical to is predecessor - while it has a Burgundy rather than Black accent colour.
Looks like the exact same control topology :
Controls - Mix, Feedback, Delay (up to 2400ms), Modulation, Tap [Mode] : Memory Lane JR / Vintage / Galloping 2-Head / Ambient 3-Head, On/Off Footswitch, Tap / Double Footswitch.
The original of this revival phase had 3 Modes onboard : Modern / Warm / Vintage - and now we have 4 - with only the Vintage one in common seemingly.
In short an already great modulated vintage sounding delay is now significantly better.
I would have liked to see TRS Jacks with Full Stereo Input & Output - while I would think the primary audience for this pedal would be very pleased - as for those who had the original - this version is even better.
The new STM32 edition Memory Delay is yours for $259 / €299 / $269. Available for orders now and imminently at International Dealers - who seem otherwise have fully cleared their decks in advance!
Key Features
- Delay Effects Pedal
- Bucked Brigade-style circuit using 3 distinct delay lines paired with analog companding, anti aliasing/reconstruction filters
- Utilising the STM32 ARM Processor for extended delay range, lower noise and more head room
- Up to 2400 ms delay time with lush, modulated repeats
- Offers modern and vintage-style sounds
- Improved Signal to Noise Ratio and frequency response
- 4 delay modes :
- ML jr Mode : Classic fixed-rate delay with silent tempo changes, true to the Memory Lane Jr.
- Vintage Mode : Warm, saturated repeats that capture the soul of vintage analog delays
- Galloping 2-Head : A rhythmic, dual-head pattern inspired by the Counterpoint delay
- Ambient 3-Head : Expansive, cascading repeats perfect for layered soundscapes
- Tap Tempo with Sub-divisions via dedicated footswitch
- Auto Div feature automatically doubles/halves tapped in delay tempo if outside of current mode’s time range
- Doubler feature allows for instant doubling of the delay tempo
- Advanced operation modes
- Geezer Mode : Mimics classic Memory Lane operation without secondary footswitch functions
- Trails Mode : Delay signal will trail off according to Feedback knob setting when the effect is bypassed
- Momentary/Latching Mode: Offers momentary/latching switching for both Delay Modulation and Doubler Feature
- Top-mounted jacks and soft touch relay switching
- Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
- Powered by a regular 9V DC PSU (centre -, 2,1 mm, ~50 mA current draw)
