Features and functionality

    Source
  • The volume knob can be used as a boost if the depth is turned down, offering an additional functionality beyond typical tremolo use.

    Source
  • The v2 model's smaller size is seen as a plus, offering more compact pedalboard real estate without sacrificing functionality.

    Source
  • Running the Monument at 18V increases headroom, addressing clipping issues when used with overdrive pedals.

    Source

User experience

  • Some owners report needing to adjust the depth knob upon power-up to activate the effect, which may indicate a setup quirk or potential issue.

    Source
  • The LED brightness is frequently noted as excessively bright, affecting some users' satisfaction enough to influence their purchasing decision.

    Source
  • Some users report the v2 model may reduce bass and volume compared to the original version, potentially affecting overall sound quality.

    Source
  • Some users find the pedal’s treble addition less bothersome, suggesting it might be the harmonic tremolo’s high-pass to low-pass filtering effect.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The square wave setting is capable of producing an aggressive "helicopter chop" effect, appreciated by those seeking hard tremolo cuts.

    Source
  • Listening to tracks like "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra is suggested for understanding how to effectively use the tremolo effect in music.

    Source
  • Placing the Monument at the end of the pedal chain after reverb works well when powered at 18V, resolving tone darkening issues.

    Source

    Source

    Source
  • Owners find the Monument more neutral in tone compared to the Supro Harmonic Trem, which adds gain and a mid-heavy EQ.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Special color variants of the Monument can be found at Guitar Center for around $120, considered a good deal by some owners.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Users report that the pedal can unintentionally brighten tone in harmonic mode, likely due to EQ changes inherent to this setting.

Critic Reviews

Walrus Monument Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Walrus Audio Monument tremolo pedal earns high praise for its authentic vintage-style tones and modern versatility. It excels in delivering Fender-like opto and harmonic tremolo sounds, with additional modern features like multiple waveforms, tap tempo, and expression pedal compatibility. A standout is its ability to modulate both standard and harmonic tremolos, providing rich, immersive tones. However, its lack of stereo output might disappoint those who use stereo effects chains. Overall, it's a well-built, feature-rich pedal that impresses with its tonal diversity and quality, making it a great choice for tremolo enthusiasts.

Review: Walrus Audio Monument V2

guitar.com

Walrus Audio's Monument V2 is a masterclass in tremolo versatility and boutique quality, offering both vintage and modern textures with its dual voicing feature. The pedal shines with its lush, evocative Standard mode and gritty, nuanced Harmonic mode. Unique shape and division controls add depth, allowing for exploration beyond typical tremolo sounds. While the top-mounted jacks and the expression pedal functionality are well-designed, the need to switch internally for tap-tempo might be seen as a minor inconvenience. Yet, the ability to assign any of the five knobs to an expression pedal is a game-changer, providing dynamic control over its rich sonic palette. This pedal is a must-consider for those seeking sophisticated tremolo effects.
