DESCRIPTION

What's New:

1. TAP tempo
2. Ramp function: holding the TAP switch will ramp to a second speed.  You can determine the second speed, as well as the rate of the ramp between the two tremolo speeds.
3. There is a second mode of operation called the Legacy mode which retains and expands on the mk.1’s functionality since now you can choose to have x2 (double) or x1.5 (dotted eighth) speed multiplying options!
4. New LFO waveform added: Reverse Sawtooth
5. CHOP (kill dry) function
6. In addition to the MKI's 3 internal EQ trimmers, the MKII features a new internal trimmer to adjust input gain control to optimise JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII for use with guitar, bass, keys, or anything else you might want to throw at it!
7. You can now specify the startup state of the MKII, to ON or OFF upon receiving power!

Dan here, Mick here – hello!

Our love for harmonic tremolo and amplitude tremolo deepens ever further with the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII.  Building on JAM Pedals’ award winning collaboration with That Pedal Show, the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII retains the original’s all analogue circuitry and modern classic tone and adds features to make it even more useful and functional on guitar, keys and anything else!

The headline new feature of the JAM Pedals Harmonious MKII is Tap & Ramp mode. 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.  That means you can dial in everything from subtle, vintage inspired tremolos all the way to otherworldly staccato choppiness!

The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII also has a Legacy mode, so everything you know about the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKI can remain intact if you prefer it that way, with an additional option on the rate of the second, preset speed.

Depth and mix controls enable you to set the effect intensity to sit perfectly in your tone, and should you wish to tweak further, there are internal trimmers for bass, midrange and treble EQ on the effected signal.

JAM Pedals have added an input gain control to optimise the JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII in environments other than a traditional guitar rig.  The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKI remains a truly awesome and inspiring tool.  Harmonious Monk MKII spreads some features icing on an already incredible sonic cake!

OPERATION SELECTIONS

The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MKII comes with the Tap & Ramp mode preselected.  To switch between the Tap & Ramp and Legacy modes, keep both footswitches pressed until the LEDs blink, indicating mode change.

RAMPING FEATURE: Only available while in the Tap & Ramp mode.  A prolonged press of the TAP footswitch will engage ramping from the original to the fixed user selectable speed.

To determine the fixed user selectable speed, while keeping the TAP footswitch pressed, adjust the Speed potentiometer to taste.  Make sure to return the Speed to the original position after releasing the TAP footswitch.

To determine how long it takes to travel from the original speed to the fixed user selectable speed, while keeping the TAP footswitch pressed, adjust the Depth potentiometer to taste.  Make sure to return the Depth to the original position after releasing the TAP footswitch.

Speed Multiplying Feature

Only available while in the Legacy mode.  An instantaneous press of the TAP footswitch will engage and disengage the speed multiplying function.  There are two available factors: x 2 and x 1.5 (dotted feel).

To change the multiplication factor, keep the TAP footswitch pressed until you see 2 TAP LED blinks for the x 2 factor or 3 TAP LED blinks for the x 1.5 factor.

CHOP FEATURE: While in the Amplitude mode and with the Square LFO selected, you can activate the CHOP effect (kill dry) which effectively alternates between sound and complete silence.  While in the aforementioned settings, simply turn the Depth potentiometer all the way up (to the right) for the CHOP effect to kick in.

INTERNAL TRIMMERS

TOP ROW of 3: LEFT: Treble EQ, MIDDLE: Midrange EQ, RIGHT: Bass EQ controls only for wet (effected) sound

LOWEST TRIMMER: Adjusts the input gain of the pedal’s wet path - this will affect the wet signal’s output level
