JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk mk.2 User manual

Monk here -
tremhello!
Harmonious Monk mk.2
Dan here, Mick here – hello!
Our love for harmonic and amplitude
tremolo deepens ever further with
Harmonious Monk mk.2.
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 footswitch.

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 and
effected signal
TOGGLE-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 shapes
FOOTSWITCHES:
● LEFT: Turns the pedal ON / OFF
● RIGHT: TAP TEMPO / SPEED X
JACKS:
● 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 level

SPECIFYING STARTUP STATE:
By default your Harmonious Monk will be on the
Off-state as it receives power. If you want it to be on
the On-state on receiving power, please remove the
power cable, keep the ON / OFF footswitch pressed
and reinsert the power cable. This will change the
startup state. To confirm successful change, remove
and reinsert power cable. To revert to the previous
state, repeat the steps above.
