Walrus Audio Monument CS
Walrus Audio · pedal
The Walrus Audio Monument is a harmonic and standard tap tremolo that produces rich, luscious, warm pulsating modulation with peaks and valleys as smooth or as jagged as desired. Its harmonic mode evokes vintage Fender Brownface amp tremolo, splitting the signal into frequency bands for a phase-like, dimensional throb, while standard mode delivers classic amplitude tremolo. It offers five wave shapes and four tap divisions, with a side jack supporting external tap tempo or expression control over Rate, Depth, Shape, or Tap Multiplier, assignable on the fly. From subtle modulation to extreme, choppy or synth-like textures, it covers a wide range. It suits players wanting versatile, high-quality tremolo, from vintage harmonic warmth to modern rhythmic effects, in a compact, gig-ready pedal that also responds creatively to fuzz and bass.
