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.

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

Tremolo

A tremolo pedal modulates the volume of your guitar signal up and down in a rhythmic pattern, creating a pulsing or wavering effect that can sound vintage and hypnotic or sharp and choppy depending on the settings. It’s one of the oldest effects in guitar history, famously used on classic amps from the 1950s and ’60s.

Most tremolo pedals let you control the speed, depth, and wave shape, allowing you to go from smooth, subtle swells to intense stuttering tones. It’s a simple but expressive effect that adds movement and character to your sound.
