BYPASS MOMENTARY FUNCTION - The bypass switch also has a momentary function.
When the pedal is in off position, press and hold to temporarily activate the effect to
add a moment of texture. Releasing the switch turns the effect off.
RAMP UP FUNCTION - When the pedal is on, press and hold the bypass switch
to ramp up the tremolo rate. Release the switch and the rate will ramp down to
previously set tempo.
VOLUME – Adjusts your overall output. Setting the Depth knob at
0 and the volume knob above unity creates a clean boost.
SHAPE – Changes LFO wave shapes. You can move between Sine,
Square, Ramp, Lumps, and a random wave cycle (Monument
Mode).
HARMONIC / STANDARD TOGGLE SWITCH – Standard mode
enables a full frequency volume modulation or a “traditional”
tremolo. Harmonic toggles a unique mode enabling a “Fender
Brown Face” style vibrato with a Lo and Hi pass split signal. LFO
modulates each signal but opposite of each other or 180º out
of phase.
RATE – Allows you to set the speed of the LFO. Turning clockwise
increases the speed.
DIVISION – The Division knob sets the multiplication factor used
to multiply the tempo set by the tap switch. Divisions are quarter,
triplet, eighth and sixteenth.
Depth – Controls the strength of the tremolo effect
BYPASS - True bypass switch that turns the effect on or off.
TAP - Sets the time of the tremolo. Tap 1/4 notes to sync the LFO
to what you are playing. A single tap will restart the LFO allowing
you to align the LFO to the beat of the song.
EXPRESSION/TAP IN JACK - Control parameters with a standard TRS expression
pedal or set the time of the tremolo with an optional auxiliary tap switch.
To change between tap or exp, open the backplate and move the jumper located at
the bottom right of the PCB board to either the TAP or EXP.
Simply lift the plastic
jumper and place over
which feature you want the
expression or tap jack to be.
Assign expression pedal control to the Rate, Depth, Shape, or Tap Multiplier knobs.
Press and hold bypass and tap for 1 second, then turn the desired knob. That knob is
now controllable via the expression pedal.
The Monument returns in a smaller form factor with new features, like assignable
expression control and rate ramp up. Inspired by the beautifully jagged, red-sand desert
landscape of Monument Valley, the Monument Tremolo is both a harmonic, and standard
tremolo that produces a rich, luscious and warm pulsating modulation capable of peaks
and valleys as smooth or as jagged as the real ones that our dear mother nature created
long ago.
With different combinations of the rate, division and shape knobs, everything from
traditional tremolo to inspiring unique waveforms will help you carve new paths that you
won’t hear anywhere else.
