Diamond Effects Pedals = Innovative Sonic Excellence

At the core Diamond is a small design team consisting of an electrical engineer and an electronics technologist who all happen to love music and great sounding music gear. Both of them have played guitar for many years and over those years collected all kinds of boutique and mass production pedals. One of them also has a side career as a professional bass player. The founder of Diamond Guitar Pedals, Michael Knappe, has a Masters of Engineering specializing in signal processing, and worked as a signal processing expert for many years at Nortel Networks and Cisco Systems where he developed state of the art audio processing systems for literally millions of installed packet voice (e.g. Voice over IP) systems and devices around the world. Much of his work involved improving audio quality in these systems through innovative connections between signal processing algorithms and psychoacoustics (the study of how our brain perceives sound). He has contributed to 27 US patents in these fields while at Nortel and Cisco. He is also currently working on a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in the area of psychoacoustics.

The goal of the company is to provide 'Innovative Sonic Excellence'. Their mission has been to ask themselves how they can innovate new features and provide improved sound quality in the field of guitar signal processing. They're not in the business of building exact clones of existing products - there are many great reissues out there already, not to mention a large installed base of the original product. Instead, they want each of their products to stand uniquely on its own while at the same time maintaining familiar product usability.
