Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Jam Pedals Harmonious Monk Mk2 ‘That Pedal Show’ Signature Harmonic Tremolo Pedal.

In late 2020, Dan Steinhardt and Mick Taylor (of 'That Pedal Show' fame) teamed up with Athens-based stompbox artisans Jam Pedals to create a glorious signature harmonic tremolo aptly-named the "Harmonious Monk". The pair first experienced this pleasant pulsating effect through their friend Joey Landreth (insert "name drop" horn sound…), who used an original '60s Fender Super amp in one of their earliest YouTube episodes. Dan and Mick craved that spellbinding sound, which the original Harmonious Monk stunningly recreated in compact form. And now, the duo's love for harmonic and amplitude tremolo deepens ever further with the new and improved Harmonious Monk Mk2!

What's New with the Mk2?

• The headline new feature is 'Tap & Ramp' mode. With this, you can now tap the time of your tremolo using the second switch, but a longer press will ramp to a second speed that can be set anywhere you like. You can also set the rate of the ramp between the two tremolo speeds.
• There are now three selectable LFOs (instead of two), providing varying shapes of modulation in both 'Harmonic' and 'Amplitude' modes: sine wave, square wave and reverse sawtooth. This means that you can dial in anything from subtle, vintage-inspired tremolos all the way to otherworldly staccato choppiness!
• Mk2 also has a 'Legacy' mode, so everything that you know about Mk1 can remain intact if you prefer it that way… with an additional option on the rate of the second, preset speed.
• In addition to the Mk1's's three internal EQ trimmers, the Harmonious Monk Mk2 features a new internal trimmer to adjust input gain control to optimise the pedal for use with guitar, bass, keys, or anything else you might want to throw at it!
• You can now specify the startup state of the Mk2, to on or off upon receiving power.
• Chop (kill dry) function.
