What's new in V2?
- Here's what Walrus Audio added to this version of the Monument V2 tremolo pedal:
- New smaller enclosure that keeps both footswitches
- Rate ramp has been added, accessed by holding down the Bypass switch
- LFO rate range has been expanded for slower and faster speeds than previously possible
- Tap input can now be configured as an expression input, assignable to anything besides volume
Five waveshapes range from super smooth to hard chopped
A big part of any tremolo effect's character is its waveshape, and the Monument V2 offers five of them to explore. Sine offers a standard sine wave for smooth modulation, while the square wave offers gated, synthy staccato effects. Ramp is an upward-sloping saw wave, and Lumps is a vibey variation of the sine wave. The Monument V2 also includes a random wave. Between these five waveshapes and the switchable Harmonic/Standard tremolo modes, you'll be able to zero in on practically any type of tremolo effect you can think of.
Switchable tremolo or harmonic tremolo modes
In its Standard mode, the Monument V2 pedal acts as a typical tremolo effect, modulating your guitar signal's volume. In Harmonic mode, it sounds like a vintage harmonic tremolo effect. In this mode, your tone is split into high- and low-frequency ranges and modulated in opposite directions. As high frequencies increase, your lows are decreased in volume, and vice versa. This creates an undulating vibe effect that sounds especially sweet when you have the Lumps waveshape selected.
