Members wanner Posted October 6, 2010 Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi, Im playing a Gibson LP Special Worn & Faded through a Fender Deluxe VM 40W and i want to buy a distortion pedal. My main goal is to get a nice blues sound. I am on a limited budget and at the moment I will only be practising at home. I have my eyes on the Behringer TO800 and the Digitech Bad Monkey. Which of these do you prefer? Can you recomend any other in the same price range? Really appreciate your answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrChrisos Posted October 6, 2010 Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 The only questions about Behringer resulting in a yes usually involve fire. The Bad Monkey on the other hand is a fantastic value for money pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wanner Posted October 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 Ok, so Bad monkey seems to be the winner. How is it compared to the distortion pedals in the GT8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wanner Posted October 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 order pedal because you dont care either way i like your style let us know what you think when it arrives Hehe, found a store with a good price and i felt drawn to the buy button, just couldnt resist it. It will be my first pedal so I dont really have anything to compare it against, but I will give my 2c once it has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrChrisos Posted October 6, 2010 Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 Cool, enjoy. Not a bad way to start out at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Webinfront_ Posted October 6, 2010 Members Share Posted October 6, 2010 Bad Monkey is an awesome pedal that sits with any other TS variant I've heard. Plus its got a pretty useful bass control. Enjoy you new pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeremy Skrenes Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 I like my Bad Monkey too. I have a Jekyll and Hyde, and the BM can get a little dirtier than the Jekyll side, so now I have that set for low gain and the BM set for high. Plus, the speaker-sim out does a respectable job. Nothing close to replacing your amp, but if you need to go direct in a pinch, it's a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wanner Posted October 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 let us know what you think when it arrives Got it today. Have been playing with it alittle and I think that it does a fine job boosting my Fender Deluxe VM (especially the dirty channel!). Then again, i have no other od pedals to compare it against except the built in the GT-8. But im happy with my purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
