BAD MONKEY OD

B-B-B-B-BAD TO THE BONE!

DIGITECH BAD MONKEY TUBE DISTORTION

The Bad Monkey is what's known as the Tube Screamer sound
for a fraction of the price. Made in China but with good build quality this pedal 
sounds great and is a joy to use. The minute I plugged it in to my Marshall TSL602 clean channel and blasted off a few riffs I liked it a lot. The sound reminded me of early 70s Rory Gallagher and even though it's raw, it's warm and clear. It enhanced the sound of my Gordon-Smith G-60 guitar like a good pedal should, bringing out the nuances of the instrument with good detail. The controls are good making this pedal pretty versatile for all kinds of music. There is an 'Mixer' output which emulates a speaker cabinet for those that wish to record or go through a PA. All in all, this low price overdrive is fun and sounds better than a lot of the more expensive boxes. The name and the cartoon style graphics I find a bit childish but this pedal rocks!

The sparkly green monkey machine!

Monkey business. The controls.

Side view, obviously!
