FEATURES 

•multi-tap delay with four unique operational modes 

•seamless knob or tap tempo delay time setting 

•intelligent mode memory remembers whether you had last used the knob or tap delay setting 

when you toggle back to that mode 

•user selectable tap delay ‘hold down’ mode to toggle modulation on /off in each mode 

•adjustable modulation depth on delays, with modulation speed changing with delay time in the 

‘Extra Faux Tape’ EFT mode 

•analog signal paths surrounding  a simple sample-delay-playout engine with special design 

variable sample rate A/D and D/A convertors 

•user selectable True Bypass or Buffered with Delay Trails operation 

•premium audio components, including Panasonic capacitors and 0.5% resistors 

•bi-color LEDs provides visual indication of modes, LFO and delay times 

•TapView (TM) allows the player to visually see the tap tempo speed on the ON/OFF LED 

while tapping 

•AutoDouble (TM) tap algorithm in the Vintage mode intelligently sets the delay rate twice as 

fast when tapping rates slower than the max delay time of 600 ms 

•standard 9V negative tip adapter ready, with ‘gig backup’ battery power life of 2 hours 

•compact Hammond 1590BB cast aluminum case (approx 4.7 x 3.7 x 1.2 inches)

 

A NOTE ABOUT POWERING THE COUNTER POINT

The Diamond Counter Point is designed to be powered from either a 9V battery*(included), 

standard 9V negative tip DC power adapter or from a multi pedal power supply. Current draw is 

rated at a maximum of 70mA.  

 

*Please note that battery life with a standard 9V is limited to approximately 2.5 hours. 

We recommend using a quality negative tip 9V power adapter designed for powering musical 

accessories or a 9V negative tip feed from a dedicated pedal power supply.
