Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Diamond Memory Lane 2! This pedal represents a major evolution in analog delay. Building on the original Memory Lane, this new version offers the same high quality analog sound with new features, improved performance and lower noise.

Memory Lane 2 from most popular pedal power supplies is available from www.diamondpedals.com. It is also important to note that the standard P5 plug that the Memory Lane 2 powr supply uses will also fit into the DC jack on most 9V powered effects. PLEASE DO NOT PLUG THE MEMORY LANE 2 POWER SUPPLY INTO ANY OTHER EFFECTS, AS IT MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THEM.

The EQ control is placed before the bucket brigade delay devices, and affects all echoes on both DLY1 and DLY2 but NOT the direct signal. The EQ in the Memory Lane 2 is not a typical boost/cut treble control. Instead, a ‘tilt’ style EQ is used, first introduced in the 1970’s by hi-fi manufacturer Quad, and also used in the Diamond Compressor, Diamond Boost-EQ and the original Memory Lane.

This jack accepts a 1/4” TRS plug (tip-ring-sleeve, or sometimes referred to as a stereo 1/4” plug). Plugging an expression pedal (or volume pedal along with an insert cable- see above under FBK EXP) allows the user to control the delay time manually. Memory Lane 2 user manual v1.00...

Dotted 8th Note Feature (DLY2 only) When the Memory Lane 2 is set to DLY2 and is in dotted 8th mode (switch in up position), tapping quarter notes at the desired tempo will result in echoes which will sound in dotted 8th note rhythm. Note that it is not possible to set the tempo in normal mode and then switch to dotted 8th and have the pedal 'switch' to the new delay time- you have to re-enter the tempo after switching to dotted 8th mode.

Mono with Serial FX Loop For amps with a serial FX loop, patch the send output from the amp into the input of the Memory Lane 2, then patch the mix/direct output back to the amp’s FX loop receive input.

Stereo operation for amps with a parallel FX loop is somewhat reverse to the serial FX loop stereo setup. Patch the FX send output of the main amp into the input of the Memory Lane 2, then patch the delay only output back to that same amp, and the mix/direct output out to the second amp.
