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.

Tremolo Pedals

Tremolo pedals rhythmically raise and lower your guitar volume, creating a pulsing effect that has been used on countless classic recordings. It can be smooth and vintage, sharp and choppy, or synced to a song’s tempo for more modern rhythmic movement.

Tremolo works beautifully with clean chords, surf tones, blues, indie, cinematic parts and atmospheric playing. It is a simple effect in principle, but the right tremolo pedal can add life, motion and a strong sense of groove to otherwise static parts.

Tremolo

Tremolo pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Tremolo related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
