Walrus Audio Monumental Stereo Harmonic Tremolo
Walrus Audio · pedal
The Walrus Audio Monumental is an analog optical stereo tremolo that offers both standard amplitude tremolo and harmonic tremolo, with the ability to blend between the two modes. It produces warm, immersive, almost chewy pulsing, with a harmonic mode that is subtler and less overtly phasey than some rivals while staying lush and three-dimensional. Full stereo operation with a pan control sets the width of the spread, and onboard preset storage plus a tap-tempo and ramp footswitch make it highly gig-ready. It suits everything from gentle vintage amp-style throb to deep rhythmic stereo textures for indie, ambient, surf and dream-pop, and is widely praised as a versatile do-it-all tremolo in a compact enclosure.
