I am looking for a overdrive/distortion pedal to stick in front of my Valvetronix. I have heard good things about the Bad Monkey but in my research I came across the Hot Head. i have never heard of it (there may be a reason).

 

What the big diff between the 2. Which is more versitile?

 

Thanks

Different animals all together. The Bad Monkey is a tube screamer type overdrive with the associated mid-boost. The Hot Head is similar to Boss' DS-1, a mid-scooped distortion. I don't either will completely suit your needs. But, they're $40 a piece so getting both won't kill the wallet. I got mine used at GC for $30 each.

Why do you say neither would suit my needs(i think that what you meant to type)? Are they each just a 'one trick pony' so I would need to get both to give me a good disortion and overdrive?
