The Harmonious Monk MKII is a seriously cool tremolo – it’s not your standard pulse or vibrato. The harmonic mode adds a unique depth and movement, and the ramped tap tempo is a blast for experimental textures. It's a great choice for players looking for something beyond the usual tremolo sounds, especially those into shoegaze, ambient, or experimental rock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Harmonic tremolo modulates the frequencies of the signal, creating a more complex, shimmering effect, unlike a standard tremolo which just modulates volume.
While designed for guitar, the Monk MKII's input level trimmer allows for use with bass, but you’ll likely need to experiment with settings to avoid unwanted noise or distortion.
Each LFO shape (square, sine, sawtooth) creates a different modulation style, from a sharp, choppy pulse to a smoother, undulating wave, significantly expanding tonal possibilities.
