The new EQ section allows you to sculpt your tone in the same box that squashes it (that’s a
good thing). Furthermore, the tilt switch allows you select the fulcrum frequency of the Tilt EQ for
sculpting those all-important mids.

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 compliment 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.
