JAM pedals Harmonious Monk Mk2

Building on JAM pedals’ award-winning

collaboration with That Pedal Show,

mk.2 retains the original’s all-analogue

circuitry and modern-classic tone, but

adds features to make it even more

useful and functional on guitar, keys and

anything else!

The headline new feature 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!

Mk.2 also has a Legacy mode, so

everything you know about mk.1 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. We have added an input

gain control to optimise Harmonious

Monk mk.2 in environments other than a

traditional guitar rig.

Harmonious Monk mk.1 remains a

truly awesome and inspiring tool. Mk.2

spreads some features icing on an

already incredible sonic cake!

OPERATION MODE SELECTION:

The mk.2 comes with the Tap & Ramp

mode preselected.

In order 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.

In order 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.

In order 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 footswit

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 2 available factors: x2 and x1.5 (dotted feel). In order to change the multiplication factor, keep the TAP footswitch pressed until you see 2 TAP LED blinks for the x2 factor or 3 TAP LED blinks for the x1.5 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.KNOBS:●D = Depth of tremolo effect●S = Speed (rate) of tremolo modulation●L = Master volume Level●M = Mix between dry andeffected signalTOGGLE-SWITCHES:●Top 2-way toggle switch: Top position for Harmonic, bottom position for Amplitude tremolo modes●Lower 3-way toggle switch: Top position for Square, middle position for Sine, bottom position for Reverse Sawtooth LFO shapesFOOTSWITCHES:●LEFT: Turns the pedal ON / OFF●RIGHT: TAP TEMPO / SPEED XJACKS: ●IN: Input●OUT: Output●9V: 9V DC power(see specifications)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 levelSPECIFICATIONS●True Bypass●Works with 9V DC adaptor (centre-negative, isolated power supply recommended)●Power consumption (max): 145 mA●Dimensions (jacks, pots etc. included): 7.5 x 12 x 5.6cm / 2.9 x 4.7 x 2.2 inches●Weight: 300g / 0.66lbs●Output and input are in-phase
