The Monumental stereo harmonic tap tremolo pedal adds new refinements to its mono forerunners in the form of additional waveforms, stereo I/O, new tap divisions, new expression pedal parameters, ramping, and more. The result is a futuristic harmonic tremolo that lets you experience filtered frequencies like never before. When used as a stereo device, the Monumental delivers stimulating alternatives to stereo effects like vibrato, phaser, chorus, and rotating speakers. With milder settings, the Monumental is perfect for syrupy tones with swampy pulsating phaser qualities suitable for country, lo-fi, reggae, and more. Pushing knobs to extremes unleashes the Monumental’s sci-fi side with spacey chops and sputters reminiscent of ring modulation. Moreover, robust expression pedal parameters, tap tempo, and footswitchable ramping fuel fun interactions and dynamic flourishes with virtually no effort on your part. The Monumental covers vast sonic terrain, but Sweetwater is happy to report that users can now save favorite tones as presets for instant recall onstage or off. If you’re looking to uncover hidden gems of modulation, then be sure you don’t miss out on the Monumental stereo harmonic tap tremolo’s immersive stereo chops and swirls!

Harmonic textures, panning, ramping, and beyond!





The Monumental retains many of its predecessors’ core controls with Rate, Depth, and Shape parameters for sculpting tones, and there are quite a few additions and refinements to explore, too. Six Shape choices let you smooth out bumpy waveforms with vintage amp-like results or embellish the chop for more aggressive sounds (the new reverse sawtooth shape gels particularly well with overdriven tones). Players can switch between the harmonic tremolo and classic amplitude-based tremolo. Moreover, the Monumental’s “S-B-H” control replaces the mode switch toggle of iterations so that users can blend trem styles. The Pan knob adds dynamism to the pedal’s capabilities as you control spreads from left to right across both channels. Lastly, the Monumental provides comprehensive expression pedal control assignable to each parameter, plus new tap tempo options and two-way footswitch ramping. With such comprehensive tools onboard, the Monumental readily fits into live rigs and equips you with tools for matching any pulse, rhythm, or groove.
