I decided I wanted one of these last week to go on my new pedalboard build.
Noticed earlier Andertons had some back in stock so pulled the trigger on one .👍
Too late for Sunday delivery so have to wait until Monday.

Too many to mention I’m afraid. Plenty went back but I found some ones I really really liked in the process. Some were old friends.

Diamond is back baby! Great Comp/EQ and Booster/EQ
CAE Booster/Line Driver
Vox Valvenergy Comp. Tubes and comp were made for each other IMO
Some reverb and delay pedals not on the TGF approved list

Rebought an Iridium, Riverside and Sunset.
 
No pedals in '25 yet, and not sure how the rest of the year will shake out. I'm fairly set on pedals and nothing's really grabbing my full attention currently... although that could change.
 
Not in a while, but my GAS has been making me research various phasers and rotary pedals. Not sure where this'll lead, since there's no space left on the pedalboard, and honestly nothing I'd wanna get rid of.
 
Yes! G.A.S. is ever present.

This year, it's been:

Long live the addiction :| :-).

This is their smallest unit? Holy shit. I wouldn't want to imagine how much it weighs.

I must admit, I've not been a fan of spring reverb since I walked away from it, around 1989, when I made the jump over to digital reverbs (and back then, they didn't have compact high-end reverb pedals). Never really looked back, since then.

They've come a very long way, over the years.

But, plenty of people still have use for spring, and everything I've ever read about Surfybears, from spring reverb enthusiasts, has been nothing but glowingly positive; so they must be doing something right.

I hope you enjoy this pedal for many years, brother.

Congratulations on your new purchase!

It’s not as big and heavy as my blue one.🤣

That Bright Switch looks pretty cool. How do you like the Diamond?
 
A very nice unit, but best paired up with a stereo unit following. They complement each other. You have to be careful to not overdo it with a wet mixes, or the whole thing becomes mud.
I really really like the two Diamond pedals that I got. They work just flawlessly. They were a bit bigger than I expected but that’s ok. There still reasonably sized. Thanks!
