DigiTech Bad Monkey ReviewsSweetwater Advice
Robert Williams
An interesting alternative to the well-known green overdrive pedal. One of the coolest, affordable overdrive boxes out there with a fairly neutral color that doesn't overwhelm your dynamics and signature tone.
Customer Reviewsfrom Oshawa/Peterborough, Ontario, Canada November 29, 2007 Music Background: Playing for 5 1/2 years Absolutely KICKI've tried a lot of OD/DS pedals in my quest for sweet tone, and this one is the ACE up my sleeve! It's great as a clean boost (the level and tone controls on this thing are POWERFUL), and it also can add a nice smooth overdrive to a clean amp. I'd say the best use for this thing is in an effects loop - I tried it in my friend's and it nearly blew me away! Buy this pedal, people: it rocks!from ohio October 16, 2006 Music Background: hobbyist Great pedalThis $40 pedal can easily compete with most others. Now, I can't say that this pedal will top expensive boutique pedals, but it brings you quite a bit of tone for its low price. As a clean boost, it worked very well in thickening and tightening up my amp, as well as in adding EQ potential. The Low and High knobs did make it easier to dial in more meat or highs quickly. I'm primarily a metal guy, so I really can't say much about the overdrive aspect of the pedal. However, I can say that the overdrive doesn't sound that bad at all. I can easily imagine blues and perhaps even classic rock played with this pedal. Overall, I think the pedal is phenominal, and the fact that it only costs $40 makes it even better!from Bronx,NY July 27, 2006 Music Background: Guitrist for 2 bands, Christian Rock,Jazz, Gospel Love itThis was a very good effect im so glad I bought it. The distortion sounds great-nice and crunchy- but you can still hear the tone of the guitar..This aint no zoom pedal people this is digitech

from AKRON, OHIO May 7, 2006 NICE PEDALI,M A BASSIST THAT PLAYS GUITAR AS A SECOND INSTRUMENT. I DO MOSTLY HOME RECORDING ANY MORE, BUT GIG ONCE IN A WHILE. I'M ALSO A GEAR JUNKIE, WITH BOXES OF EFFECTS PACKED AWAY. I NEVER THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT BUYING A PEDAL THAT APPEALED TO ME AT THE MOMENT. ANY MORE, I,M MORE CAREFUL ABOUT EFFECT PURCHACES.ANYWAY, THIS IS A USEFUL PEDAL THAT I USE FOR RECORDING AND LIVE GIGS. I USE IT WITH MY BASS FOR LIVE USE AND IT SOUNDS COOL. I LIKE THE EQ ON THIS, AND I CAN GET A NICE OVERDRIVEN AMPEG SOUND OR WHATEVER. IF YOU PLAY METAL, LOOK ELSEWHERE. THIS PEDAL IS JUST A NICE, USEFUL OVERDRIVE WITH GOOD TUBE EMULATION. WITH GUITAR, THIS THING SOUNDS SWEET AND WORKS WELL WITH OTHER EFFECTS. FOR 40 BUCKS, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

from Taunton, MA USA March 6, 2006 GREAT pedaloh yeah - even the "tone snobs" are liking this pedal! The "Tube Screamer" sound at 1/4 the price - put this between your Strat and a Fender-ish amp and you've got the SRV tone... Like the other 3 Digitech stompboxes I've owned, this thing's built solid & heavy and comes with a 6-year warranty if you register on the Digitech website. It's also ANALOG, not digital, so the battery life should NOT be an issue - just don't forget to unplug your cables! LOL Digitech has hit a homerun with the Bad Monkey! |
