Members theManfromAlabam Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I never tried one...I remember a year or two ago the Bad Monkey was the {censored}!...now I don't see much talk if any about this pedal on these forums now. What overdrive/distortion pedal is the {censored} now? (Getting all the praise) :poke:
Members melx Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I still use mine, I've only had it a few days though.
Members kyrreca Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 It's all about the Klon Centaurs.
Members CicadaSilence Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I sold mine in a GAS fit a couple years back. I miss it. I'll pick one up again, eventually.
Members IvIark Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I've had mine for 2 or 3 years I'd say and in that time a lot more expensive pedals have fallen by the wayside, but the BM is still in the rack.
Members woodsmandan Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I still do. Good cleanish boost for the money. Nothing can tame my Muff and my NPN like a Monkey right after them...
Members Sunsetcarcrash Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 WARNING! SPAM ALERT! Got one for trade if anybody wants it!!!!
Members theManfromAlabam Posted March 11, 2008 Author Members Posted March 11, 2008 It's all about the Klon Centaurs. I've read about Klon Centaurs...are they $300+ better than the Bad Monkey? or is it an over hype thing?
Members sgt mukuzi Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 i liked then hated the BM, no dynamics

Members strat-man Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 Only had my Bad Monkey for a couple weeks, but i'm lovin it
Members HMCMedic Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I've done the Monkey 3 times and there won't be a 4th. I think the fact that it's so cheap fools your ears into thinking it's incredible. It is a decent to good sounding overdrive and if I was on a budget and needed a beater to gig with (especially if I was afraid of theft at the gig) I'd use it no problem and the audience wouldn't know if it was a BM or a Klon. With that said I have picked up a Barber LTD again and to my ears it is one of the best low gain overdrive pedals on the market.
Members IvIark Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 My ears aren't fooled, in fact I really don't like the sound into a clean amp so it's not the actual tone from the BM that I like. What I like it for is the way it makes my amps react when they're already dirty.
Members Small Stone Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I love it, but only had it for a couple of weeks. Will try it in front of my Rat this weekend for a gain boost, and to "open up" my HR Deluxe. I'm all excited about that, go figure...
Members Jammer48 Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 I could never figure out what all the hype was for the Bad Monkey. I still have mine but it doesn'texactly trip my trigger. Now the Silver Kiss on the other hand....
Members sabrecat Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 My ears aren't fooled, in fact I really don't like the sound into a clean amp so it's not the actual tone from the BM that I like. What I like it for is the way it makes my amps react when they're already dirty. +1 I use a Bad Monkey for that exact reason. Pushes the dirty channels on my amp into just the area I like.
Members theManfromAlabam Posted March 11, 2008 Author Members Posted March 11, 2008 +1I use a Bad Monkey for that exact reason. Pushes the dirty channels on my amp into just the area I like. Hmm...it may be worth $40 for that reason alone....like HMCMedic I may also opt for a Barber LTD...at least they aren't way too overly priced.
Members Small Stone Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 Plus, the have a "high" and "bass" eq, and mixer out, if you're into direct-to-board recording or feedback loops (like I am).
Members willburford Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 . Will try it in front of my Rat this weekend for a gain boost, You will like that. That's what I use it for.
Members machine gunner Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 no dynamics+1 As a boost its good enough, but I have others that do that job. On its own, I found it very meh...
Members surfcat Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 Hmm...it may be worth $40 for that reason alone....like HMCMedic I may also opt for a Barber LTD...at least they aren't way too overly priced. Yeah, too bad they're $50 now. I might pick one up if I find a used one or I might splurge and get an Od808.
Members orangesix Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 its the first pedal in my chain..
Members Tribute2Johnny Posted March 11, 2008 Members Posted March 11, 2008 i enjoy it when i need it.
