It's a Stephenson LJ10. Ok, it doesn't look like a Hiwatt but that's to be expected when it has double the features crammed into a chassis that is propably like 1/3 of a Hiwatt head. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing PCB versions of many boutique amps if it made them more affordable. Some seem to be a bit "PTP wiring for the sake of having PTP wiring" things, you know?
As for the Bad Monkey, I think it's a great pedal for the money. I've compared it head to head to some TS clones/variants that are 3-4 times more expensive and the BM held it's own. Yes, several of the 3-4 times more expensive pedals were more transparent when turned off as well as sounding a bit better, but I found the price difference hard to justify for what I felt were just a few % improvements at best. The BM also has a really smart battery compartment, unlike many boutique pedals which are basically just painted Hammond boxes.
PS. Does anyone have a pic of the Diezel Einstein insides? I've never seen 'em.
Coming soon, have to make pictures.
