🇺🇸【 Walrus Audio 】Monument Harmonic Tap Tremolo V2
Monument V2 以較小的體型回歸了，並準備以更多新功能，帶來更好的使用體驗與音色。
Monument 是 Walrus Audio 從美國紀念碑谷沙漠地形取得靈感後硏發出來的 Tremolo 效果器，可做出豐富、溫暖、甜美的 Tremolo 效果。 Monument Tremolo 既是 "Harmonic" 又是標準的顫音，能產生豐富、甜美、溫暖的脈動，能夠讓波型如真實的山峰或山谷一樣光滑，或是充滿鋸齒。
Monument V2 的新特色：
✔ 小型的效果器機殼
✔ EXP接口的擴充功能：支援外接節奏或可以作為 Rate、Depth、Shape 或 Tap Multiplier 的表情控制。
✔ 改善所有比率下的顫音頻率響應
✔ 裝置於頂部的導線接孔
Rate、Depth、Shape 的不同組合，從傳統的顫音到眩人耳目的獨特波形，Monument 將幫助您開闢在其他任何地方都聽不到的全新音色。
關於復古的音色，Monument Tremolo 的靈感來自於 Harmonic 模式下的Fender Brownface 擴大機。在此模式下吉他訊號的 "Low-pass" 和 "High-pass" 彼此相反，或相位相差180°（高頻和低頻上升和下降相反）。
據此所得到的，是極其經典、溫暖，且令人難忘的音色。Division 旋鈕可以設置為 1/4，1/3，1/8 和 1/16。波形也可透過旋鈕控制。您可以在正弦波，方波，斜坡，塊和紀念碑模式之間選擇。
紀念碑的一個特色是 bypass footswitch 具有瞬時開啟的功能。當開關處於關閉位置時，按住可暫時啟動效果，放開即可關閉效果。
開關開啟時，按住可提高顫音速率。鬆開開關，速率將下降到先前設定的速度。將深度旋鈕設置為0，將音量旋鈕設置為高於1，可當 Clean Boost 使用。

Changes to the V2 are as follows:
• Converted to smaller enclosure
• Expanded capability of side jack: now supports external tempo or can function as expression control over Rate, Depth, Shape, or Tap Multiplier and is assignable on the fly. See manual for details.
• Improved tremolo response across all rates.
• Top mounted jacks.
Inspired by the beautifully jagged, red-sand desert landscape of Monument Valley, the Monument Tremolo is both a harmonic, and standard tremolo that produces a rich, luscious, warm pulsating modulation capable of peaks and valleys as smooth or as jagged as the real ones that our dear mother nature created long ago.
With different combinations of the rate, division and shape knobs and tap tempo, everything from traditional tremolo to inspiring unique waveforms will help you carve new paths that you won’t hear anywhere else.
Harken back to vintage tones inspired by Fender Brownface amps in Harmonic mode. A low-pass and high-pass version of your guitar signal is modulated opposite of each other, or 180º out of phase (high and low frequencies rise and fall opposite of each other). The result is a warm, almost “chewy” tremolo.
The Division knob can be set to quarter, triplet, eighth and sixteenth.
Wave shapes can be controlled via the Shape knob. You can move between Sine, Square, Ramp, Lumps and Monument Mode (random).
A special feature on the Monument is the bypass switch also has a momentary function. When the switch is in off position, press and hold to temporarily activate the effect to add a moment of texture. Releasing the switch turns the effect off.
When the pedal is on, press and hold the bypass switch to ramp up the tremolo rate. Release the switch and the rate will ramp down to previously set tempo.
Setting the depth knob at 0 and the volume knob above unity creates a clean boost.
