The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII epitomises the marriage of harmonic tremolo and amplitude tremolo, further solidifying our affection for this unique effect. This exceptional tremolo pedal builds upon JAM Pedals' award winning collaboration with That Pedal Show, retaining the original's all analog circuitry and timeless tonal qualities while introducing new features to enhance its versatility for guitar, keys, and beyond.

A standout feature of the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII is its Tap & Ramp mode, allowing users to tap the tremolo tempo with the second switch and seamlessly transition to a second speed at a customised tempo. Additionally, the ramp between these two tremolo speeds is adjustable, giving you full control over the transition.

The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII now boasts three selectable LFO shapes (instead of two) in both Harmonic and Amplitude modes, providing a spectrum of modulation possibilities, from subtle, vintage inspired tremolos to avant garde staccato effects. The inclusion of sine wave, square wave, and reverse sawtooth LFOs allows for boundless creativity.

For users who prefer the classic sound of the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKI, the pedal offers a Legacy mode, preserving the original character while offering an additional option for the rate of the second preset speed.

With depth and mix controls, you can precisely fine tune the intensity of the effect to seamlessly integrate it into your desired tone. Furthermore, internal trimmers for bass, midrange, and treble EQ adjustments on the affected signal provide additional customisation possibilities.

To optimise the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII in diverse environments beyond traditional guitar rigs, JAM Pedals has introduced an input gain control, enhancing its versatility.
