1. Giriş
The Walrus Audio Monument V2 is a versatile tremolo pedal offering both standard and harmonic tremolo effects. It is designed to produce a rich, pulsating modulation, ranging from smooth to more pronounced waveforms. This V2 version features several enhancements over its predecessor, including a smaller enclosure, expanded functionality for the side jack, improved tremolo response across all rates, and top-mounted jacks.
The pedal allows users to explore a wide range of tremolo sounds, from vintage tones reminiscent of Fender Brownface amps in Harmonic mode to unique, inspiring waveforms through combinations of rate, division, and shape controls. Its bypass switch also includes a momentary function for dynamic effect engagement.

6. Kullanım Talimatları
6.1 Etkinin Başlatılması
Basın Baypas Ayak Pedalı to toggle the tremolo effect on or off. When the effect is active, an indicator LED will illuminate.
6.2 Tremolo Modes

- Oran: Turn the Rate knob clockwise to increase the tremolo speed, and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Derinlik: Turn the Depth knob clockwise for a more intense, deeper tremolo, and counter-clockwise for a subtler effect.
- Şekil: Rotate the Shape knob to cycle through different waveforms: Sine, Square, Ramp, Lumps, and Monument Mode (random). Each shape offers a distinct rhythmic feel to the tremolo.
- Bölüm: Use the Division knob to select the rhythmic subdivision for tap tempo: Quarter, Triplet, Eighth, or Sixteenth notes.
6.4 Vuruş Temposu
