DigiTech Bad Monkey Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal

Best TS-style OD I've Tried, and Great Price.

This is my favorite TS-style OD at any price, but for $35 you can't beat it. I use it to push my JHS Angry Charlie into an aggressive metal tone, or into a very fluid, sustaining lead tone. It sounds great this way, and the separate "bass" control lets me dial back in the bass loss that typicall comes when using a pedal of this type.

I've also experimented with the pedal as its own drive channel, in front of my Joyo American Sound (Amp sim pedal) and it has plenty of its own gain to excel this way.

I'm still playing with settings to get a nice, bluesy driven tone in front of the clean American Sound pedal, but getting good results so far.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Such a Wonderful BM

This bad boy holds its own on a bass pedalboard amongst many other more expensive OFD pedals. It sounds great coupled solely with my Orange Twin Stroke boosting it into the bass riffage stratosphere. But where my Monkey really shines is stacked up in various combos with my SA Aftershock, Blues Driver, Titefuzz, warping my chorus/flanger, and also when I crank my 2 Stroke into true OD territory. This wouldn’t be the only OFD pedal on my bass board only because, well, there will never only be one. This isn’t freaking Highlander. And also because I tend to favor pedals that crank toward extremes. But this baby is my super glue, the one I throw into the mix to tie a screaming tube into a deep, echoey chorus or when I want a heavy fuzz growl to clamp down with some face shredding bite.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Very useful pedal

My favorite overdrive pedal at the moment. With the 2 band eq I can set it so it doesn't roll off too many lows or highs like a TS. I run the lows and highs at about 90% and when I kick on the pedal it just adds some grit and gets real warm and fat in the mids.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Cult Classic

I bought this for my band mate’s birthday. I have one and it’s one of my favorite pedals. I bought mine back when they were new on the market. It was cheap but had a great sound. There is a reason that these still sell used but they aren’t cheap anymore!Vollständige Rezension lesen

Going up in price. Good for harmonica and guitar

This is more of a boost vs a distortion pedal. Treble and bass are smooth but do not have a real pronounced range. Volume control is good and very usefull for use with a harmonica mic that does not have a volume control. Gain will give distortion but I run it fairly clean. Pedal is heavy and well built. Pedal also adds some compression. Passes signal well when disengaged. I like it.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Do not buy a tube screamer when you can buy the Bad Monkey

These things are awesome at pushing an over driven amp.
Blows away the tube screamers and anything like a tube screamer. I could go on and on but all you need to know is this thing is the real deal.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Nice tone for the $$$

This is pretty much an "always on" pedal for me. Just a bit of tone color and an ever so slight break up. For full on distortion or overdrive, I use the amps gain.

Great fat boost pedal

Great pedal at the price. Particularly good at fattening up your sound without coloring it too much. Keep the level up and gain down for best results.
