Walrus Audio Monument Harmonic Tap Tremolo V2 Tech Demo

[@Rustyjamesman]

Amazing demonstration , thanks for not playing overused blues and open chords and actually playing something musical and interesting

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Thanks!

[@TomYankton]

Yes!

[@vdominguez355]

Seriously those blues licks everyone does is getting annoying lol

[@chrisegg7936]

when he did that minor plagal thing in the intro i’m pretty sure our eyes met at the exact same time

[@brianrodman1033]

That tap “reset” feature has me sold. Walrus Audio did a fantastic job on this pedal with its luscious sound and smart features/controls.

[@chrisegg7936]

also the single-tap reset is a truly brilliant idea i don’t think i’d ever know i needed if it wasn’t here

[@RobertNolan]

I watched the expression pedal get used and knew this was it. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@cyberprimate]

Wow that chord behind the guitar bridge at the end, so perfectly in tune with the previous chord.

[@Foxywaterable]

This sounds so fucking good holy shit

Sixth video I've seen today on this pedal.

[@jonbjerke4145]

Paul Von Tyrant careful if you watch one more you have to buy it.

[@santiagoandresparedesrodri2204]

buy it, i have never bought a la walrus pedal that disappoints, all great

[@orange-rv9ek]

I am waiting on mine in the mail. I have a MXR Tremolo which does harmonic as well but this seemed really innovative. Offers analog harmonic and regular tremolo in many different wave forms. I almost don't think you need tap tempo for a tremolo but I'm stoked for this.

[@solomonsanchez1897]

You barely need it on delay, but people seem to think it's necessary.

[@CarlosVinicciusRC]

Just beautiful! Wish i could buy one in brazil

[@grosebud4554]

Great demo and lovely playing!

That rug really ties the room together, does it not?

Ohh that tone!

Nice demo! Always nice to hear some playing instead of some idiot with a big ego trying to show off his shred skills.😉👍

This is perfect

This is good!!!

[@kilgoretrout321]

This pedal looks great. Does tremolo make anyone else dizzy? I honestly can't use it much because I start to feel sick....

[@travismegale6796]

I did but got used to it and don’t anymore.

[@Neopetpet]

whoaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jepatawaran]

Hi. Can you connect an external tap tempo instead of just an exp pedal? I want to synchronize the tempo with my delay. Thanks!

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Derp Senpai yup! There’s a jumper inside the pedal to switch the function.

[@jepatawaran]

@@walrusaudioeffects thank you very much! Planning to have one along with my Nemesis through a custom 3-out tap tempo

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@jepatawaran That's my plan as well. I have the Nemesis, various other delays, choruses, reverb/delay (GFI Specular V3), rotary etc with tap-in and ideally would like to synchronize 3 of them. Probably the Nemesis, another delay (analog, Way Huge Supa Puss) or the GFI. and the Monument. What external tap are you using?

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@jepatawaran I have a custom 3-out made by a friend. It has one output that can be open/closed. It's called the "Pulse" and has the famous Floyd heartbeat graphic on it. I'm hoping it will be sufficient.

[@Zwidawurzn]

is there any difference in function between this and the V1 version?

[@KipCount]

Does the tempo light blink randomly and inconsistently like it does in the video, or is that just the frame rate on the video making it look like that?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

That there is a good old fashioned frame rate issue.

[@KipCount]

@@walrusaudioeffects thank you so much for clearing that up!

Dope yo. J.

[@jonniefast]

sounds good i use zvex tremorama but it takes a lot of knob fiddling to get those same sounds 😅 i dont NEED it but i WANT it lol

[@matutegarcia8604]

Sound with other pedals , overdrive stacking????

Great video.... but can it "Rumble"??? 🤔

And thanks!

[@lomoholga]

Just got this- moving the note division knob has no effect. What am I missing here?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we can check it out!

[@robertstapleton3598]

Very nice video, thanks! Sounds great. Wish it had presets.

[@ernststavroblofeld2109]

Never roll the bigsby backwards. Unless you’re putting it in the case.

[@wolfsoto]

Just bought one but found it way too subtle, not rich or pronounced enough. I'm going to try Source Audio Vertigo I hear it matches the quality and richness of Strymon Flynt tremolo. At a very affordable price.

[@anthonyramirez1341]

Where you applying it with a full band or just on your own. I looking to use it in a full band...

[@retromograph3893]

This pedal would be more useful if you introduced a "smooth" control that would let you smooth off the sawtooth and squarewave edges......basically it's like a very low frequency low pass filter......or slew limiter........ In order to have less jagged tremolo without reducing the depth. Also, you need to include both rising and falling sawtooth wave options.

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Thanks for the feedback! FYI, what you're describing is the sine wave shape. So, that first issue is taken care of. ☺️

[@retromograph3893]

@@walrusaudioeffects that’s not quite what I mean, perhaps you still want a saw or square, but with slightly rounded edges....but not as rounded as a sine....I believe this can be achieving by adding a slew rate limiter (low pass filter)

[@Airhead348]

@@retromograph3893 if you had this pedal you wouldn't want to make it more subtle. You can barely hear the harmonic tremolo unless you dime the depth and the it's still pretty weak.

[@Airhead348]

Only on the square wave can you clearly hear the effect. All the other waves are very very subtle anyways so it's plenty smooth for you i think you would like this pedal. As for me I might be selling mine :(

[@orange-rv9ek]

@@Airhead348 doesn't sound too subtle here maybe there was something wrong with your rig of the pedal you had? That said tremolo sounds better as subtle.

What’s the guitar on this video?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Gibson es347

[@MK-tj5bf]

Sounds good. As well as a pedal

[@DocumentedWorld]

Curious about the "improved tremolo response". I own a V1, and to my ears the harmonic mode cuts the low end significantly. In contrast, my supro harmonic trem cuts the high end significantly. Neither are ideal for my purposes, and it seems a middle ground should be possible. Does this mean the V2 has a more even overall frequency response in harmonic mode? Thanks!

[@DocumentedWorld]

I am indeed looking to get a V2, so I'd appreciate your insight here!

[@DocumentedWorld]

Okay well, I bought something else.

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@DocumentedWorld That being?? :)

[@Airhead348]

@@DocumentedWorld I got v2 the harm trem is so subtle i don't notice it unless im on square wave

[@lw1391]

@@Airhead348 does setting for analog + square wave allow you to get a really hard chop / slicer effect? Thats the tone I'm looking for.

[@joshua0226]

It sounds kind of bright.

[@timlukian6051]

Having just bought this pedal earlier today, and played with it for a few hours earlier: it’s not inherently bright. Or dark. It just modulates whatever your tone happens to be going in.

[@joshua0226]

@@timlukian6051 how is it? I’m typically into subtle brownface /60s style harmonic tremolo but I kind of really like how swishy and water this unit sounds.

[@timlukian6051]

​@@joshua0226 I don't really have any experience with brownface harmonic trem, but I'd say this sounds killer. At first, after plugging it in, it honestly struck me as subtler than I'd anticipated - but after spending more time with it, I think it's actually just very well balanced. With the depth maxed but the rate low (in harmonic mode) it's more subtle, but as you creep the rate up, the modulation becomes quite a bit more swoopy/watery. One thing I realized is that the frequency filtering/modulation does NOT seem to be particularly resonant (ie. never sounds notched/flangey) - so it stays pretty tonally transparent, and feels like it's just attenuating whatever you're feeding it. Consequently the more full-frequency the signal you're sending it, the more apparent the modulation is; for example, if you're feeding it a pretty dark input (eg. highs rolled off going in), it's going to sound more subtle, as there's less high freq. content to attenuate - it's not *adding* anything through filter resonance or other distortion. So far I think it's pretty splendid, honestly. It just displaced both an Earthquaker Hummingbird and a cheapo Andoer green trem on my board, as it can cover both that choppy trem ground, and the conventional trem ground and a whoooole lot more with the harmonic side and the different LFO shapes, and the tap-tempo features, and so on. Oh, and it sounds *really* bitchin' with fuzz on the input signal, and stacked with a Phase 45 set to approximately the same rate :)
