Members WillShrdForFood Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 I want to try out a boost pedal with my DSL100. I was going to hit up ebay but I was curious if anyone here has one they'd sell me. Also...Which do you think would be the best boost pedal to go with for around $70 (shipped) used?

Members LOCO5150 Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 You should be able to buy a Bad Monkey, brand new at GC for $40+tax...you could probably whittle them down a little on that price as well. I think I bought my SD-1 there a couple years ago for around the same... So if you've got $70 in your budget, you could probably score them both. I like both pedals for the function of boosting...however, I think the Bad Monkey is a little more useable in terms of functioning as an overdrive pedal. Hope this helps.

Im actually going to GC tomorrow (Buddy of mine has to get some bass strings), so I may pick a Bad Monkey up. But I'd like to try out an SD-1 as well if I end up not liking the Bad Monkey.

Members geng Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 Bad Monkey is more tone tveakable. SD-1 cuts bass - but is still nice pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ScreaminSaint Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 i have a bad monkey and a modded sd-1- jrc chip. sd1 has more gain, but it sounds thinner. bm is smoother and a little more tweakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members book_of_lies777 Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 a modded pedal vs. stock is hardly an honest comparison, eh? I like the Monkey better than the SD-1 too, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members troublehead Posted June 22, 2007 Members Share Posted June 22, 2007 Got a new Bad Monkey for $30 shipped if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted June 22, 2007 Members Share Posted June 22, 2007 Pony up the $40 for the Bad Monkey. My old singer bought one and it sounded great even compared to my Analog Man modded TS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ramblin390 Posted June 22, 2007 Members Share Posted June 22, 2007 I like the keeley sd-1 much better than the monkey, un-modded I may take the bm depending on the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
