Diamond says it relaunched the latest version of its Vibrato pedal in May 2024 and made it available for purchase¹. The company announced the relaunch on its legacy page, which traces the brand from its 2002 founding through its 2021 closure and its later revival¹.

The Vibrato descends from the VB-1, which Diamond says it released in 2008 alongside the Diamond Phase. The company credits both pedals with helping repopularize modulation tones and says they "heavily shape the sound of Tame Impala's albums, 'Currents' and 'Lonerism'"¹.

Diamond's history page records that PolyBlend Systems Inc., the company behind Diamond, was forced to close during the global pandemic in 2021. Greg Djerrahian of SolidGoldFX took over the brand, and the new team, based in Montreal, spent two years on research, development and manufacturing before launching five flagship pedals in 2023: Memory Lane, Comp/EQ, Tremolo, Drive and Bass Comp/EQ¹.

The legacy page gives no price, control layout or other specifications for the current Vibrato. It states only that the pedal is available for purchase, linking to the product page¹. Diamond says all its pedals are designed and built in its shop in Montreal¹.
