The JAM Pedals Harmonious Monk MK2 significantly expands on the original MK1 harmonic tremolo circuit, adding Tap Tempo for matching rate to song tempo and a Ramp function that lets players hold the Tap switch to smoothly glide between two programmed speeds. It adds a third selectable LFO waveshape (sine, square, and reverse sawtooth, versus the MK1's two), a Legacy mode preserving the original MK1 character with an added x2/x1.5 speed multiplier for dotted-eighth pulses, and a fourth internal trimmer specifically for optimizing input gain across guitar, bass, keys, or other instruments.
The Subdecay Vagabond Harmonic is a harmonic tremolo pedal from Subdecay (Portland, Oregon), delivering the dimensional, swirling harmonic tremolo effect by splitting the signal into bass and treble frequency bands and modulating them out of phase. The Vagabond Harmonic captures the rich, three-dimensional tremolo of vintage Brownface-era Fender amplifiers at Subdecay boutique quality.
