The Diamond Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

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 resulting 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 set-up.

Key Features  

  • Clipping Options – Switch between a pure clean boost with up to +20 db of volume on tap (up position), or add a touch of light transparent soft clipping overdrive in the down position.
  • Versatile EQ – With controls for the Tilt EQ (800 Hz +/- 6dB Tilt EQ Fulcrum Frequency) in partnership with a separate Mid frequency control (800 Hz +/- 10dB Mid EQ Centre Frequency), dialing in your perfect tone is quick and easy!
  • Diamond Quality – The Boost/EQ is hand-made in Canada using high-quality parts and components.

Hands on

Taking the lively, high-fidelity gain stages of the Comp/EQ, the Boost/EQ offers plenty of punch while maintaining clarity and transparency. While the Tilt and Mid controls give you complete freedom to sculpt your tone. Need more sparkle? Dial it in with the Tilt knob. Looking for a midrange boost to cut through your solos? The Mid control has you covered. Want to make your Marshall tone a bit more Fender-esque? It’s all possible with Diamond’s Boost/EQ.

And a Low-Gain Drive

In addition, the Boost/EQ features a second mode that provides a low-gain overdrive – transparent, yet full of character. This makes the Boost/EQ the ultimate Swiss Army knife for your pedalboard, combining clean boost, tone shaping and overdrive, into one powerful and versatile pedal.

The Boost/EO offers 2 distinct modes of operation. The first is a clean boost mode designed to increase the output of your signal enabling you to beef-up low-output pickups, drive tube amps and dirt pedals for increased sustain and saturation or simply have your solos jump out in the mix.

Set to the OD mode, the gain structure of the pedal is modified and soft clipping diodes are added to the circuit. This provides smooth, transparent, musical distortion that ranges from just a touch of hair and harmonic overtones, to a nice low to mid gain overdrive.

Depending on where your Boost/EO is placed in your signal chain, it will either deliver an increase in volume or distortion/saturation. Place it at the end of your pedal chain or in an amp’s series FX loop for a volume boost. Put it in front of your drives and fuzzes for more gain and distortion.

Specifications

  • Top-mounted jacks and soft touch relay switching
  • True Bypass
  • Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
  • Powered by a regular 9-18 V DC PSU (centre -, 2,1 mm, ~18 mA current draw)

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Boost

Boost pedals give your signal that extra push — perfect for cutting through the mix or driving your amp into sweet natural overdrive. Whether you want a clean volume lift for solos or a touch of grit to wake up your tone, a good boost adds clarity, punch, and presence without changing your core sound. Simple, powerful, and essential on any board, a boost pedal can turn a good tone into a great one with just one stomp.

. EQ. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
