I’ve been on something of a Tremolo kick this year - I decided that said capsule collection was a little slim in comparison to my other modulation categories - so I determined that I would focus on Tremolo for 2024.
The Drunk Beaver Chernivtsi Trembita Optical Tremolo kick-started this year’s journey, and I already have the Lastgasp Flikrrr and Tru-Fi Ultra Tremolo inbound - which will take that capsule to 15.
I had further identified around 8 or 10 targets for the reference collection - including - the CopperSound Pedals Telegraph V2, Diamond Pedals Tremolo, Drolo Twin Peaks Tremolo, JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo, Supro Dual Mode Tremolo, Swindler Effects Red Mountain Tremolo, and of course the Walrus Audio Monument Harmonic Tremolo! Indeed also covering the 2 recent acquisitions!
So this new and much improved Monumental edition is a timely arrival - as that pedal goes straight to the top of my Tremolo acquisitions list.
The Monument was already one of the best Harmonic Tremolo pedals out there - having been initially a larger format enclosure, then shrunken to Compact size - and so this is at least a V3 edition of that circuit - and as mentioned - it has been massively improved in every department - it has more of everything and now comes with 3 onboard presets and full stereo ins and outs.
I think I prefer the look of that standard orange enclosure really - I like having the larger wolves / coyotes on there for sure!

New Features
The Monumental Stereo Harmonic Tremolo is available right now from the Walrus Audio Webstore - for $279.99. I also checked Andertons - which states they will have stock for this coming Monday - priced at £269. I’m very much looking forward to adding this one to the board - while it will need to wait its turn behind the Flikrrr and Ultra Tremolo!
