The JAM Pedals Koch Ness Monster is an all-analog multi-effects pedal developed in collaboration with guitarist Greg Koch, combining four established JAM Pedals circuits into a single performance-oriented unit. Featuring the Lucydreamer overdrive, Eureka! fuzz, Harmonious Monk tremolo, and Delay Llama analog delay, the Koch Ness Monster provides a complete collection of gain, modulation, and ambient effects without digital menus or complicated programming. Its integrated signal chain, dedicated controls, and footswitchable functions make it a practical solution for players who want a versatile analog rig in one enclosure.

The signal path begins with the Lucydreamer, a dry/wet overdrive featuring Level, Gain, Tone, and Mix controls. A footswitchable high-gain stage provides an additional level of drive, with an internal trimmer for adjusting its output. Next is the Eureka!, a fuzz circuit inspired by classic Muff- and Fuzz Face-style sounds. Its Level, Tone, and Gain controls work alongside three selectable bass-response settings, allowing players to adjust the low-frequency character of the fuzz.

The Harmonious Monk section provides harmonic and amplitude tremolo with square, sine, and reverse-sawtooth modulation waveforms. Tap subdivisions, Tap & Ramp functionality, and Legacy speed multiplication expand its rhythmic capabilities, while the square-wave Amplitude mode includes a kill-dry CHOP function for pronounced rhythmic gating. The Delay Llama completes the signal chain with up to 600 milliseconds of analog delay, featuring Time, Repeats, and Level controls, three tap subdivisions, and a HOLD function for repeat oscillation. Selectable true bypass or buffered trails operation allows delay repeats to either stop immediately or decay naturally when bypassed.

A dedicated send/return effects loop sits between the gain and modulation sections, allowing external pedals to be inserted after the Lucydreamer and Eureka! but before the Harmonious Monk and Delay Llama. The SYNC function allows the Delay Llama's tap tempo footswitch to control the Harmonious Monk's tempo simultaneously. Independent subdivision settings make it possible to create synchronized or interlocking rhythmic patterns between tremolo and delay. Powered by a standard 9V DC center-negative supply, the Koch Ness Monster brings four complementary analog effects together in a single stage-ready enclosure.
