this is not a diss against the digitech bad monkey.....rumored to be a PERFECT replacement for a ts808.
i tried one at a music store the other day ( guitar center- el toro ). it is DIFFERENT, the similarities are 50-60%.
i felt kinda relieved, coz a few months ago i shelled a serious amount to buy the reissue, which rumored to sound different to a vintage ts 808. to realize that i spent too much mula on an overdrive, then to find a $39 ts808 clone would be a total bummer. :-D
i'm not sayin it sucked, it's just diffferent. the BM has the potential to become it's own monster. compared to the ts 808 though, it's not as clear and tubing sounding IMHO....but good enough!

for an inexperienced OD user like me i have to say that BM is good enough to be his own monster.

i like my bad monkey :) tried ts9 pati ung may dx.. sa gcsf and samash sa cerritos. ung hinahanap ko na tunog nasa baaaad monkey. :)
-
welcome back, pareng Jon!
it really depends on our preferences :) i use the Bad Monkey as a backup "ngongo" drive pedal and i sold my TS-808 because of it (and my trusty ol' HBE Power Screamer).. of course, the TS-808 can definitely capture the SRV tone better than the Bad Monkey, but the BM has just this smooth sound that makes it worth the $39.95 + tax :)
-
uy? binenta mo na si power screamer?
ako my opinion on the badmonkey, yeah, it's good enough for me. i was satisfied na with my badmonkey until i got an offer for a TS-9 which i just had to take, hehe. upon getting home, i A/B-ed the pedals, to my dismay, they're almost the same. mas clear lang yung TS-9 and mas "analog" yung tone, pero the badmonkey is a close second, actually parang kaya pa habulin with the more flexible controls on the badmonkey. so yun i sold the badmonkey and kept the TS-9. mali ko i should've kept both na lang, sarap nun pag cascaded eh, SRV baybeh!
-
uy di noh.. mahal ko si Power Screamer, di ko ibebenta yun hehe. yun pati BM ang reasons why binenta ko na yung TS-808

haha! saka na muna ako mag-uupgrade pre, "we require more minerals" muna e haha!

I have both the reissue 808 and the BM.Right now the 808 is under my bed gathering dust.I say the extra bass knob for the BM made the difference because I could tell whenever I use it to push my mesa OD,its smoother and more sustainey compared to the 808 reissue.Imagine if the BM had a mid tone knob?
The BM deserves another banana :-D
-
just in case you guys didnt read what i posted....
i said the BM's got it's own sound.....comparisons to a ts808, kaunti lang. kasi that's what i read at harmony central, na sobrang huli daw ang tunog ng ts808.
not a diss, but i really think hindi nya huli ang 808. but it's a good pedal.
like poundcake said, depende sa preferences mo. ako kasi diehard srv fan e. sa pandinig ko, mas fuzzy sound ang BM kesa 808. that doesnt mean it's BAD, ok? :-D
-
Anything that's monkey is good. Like spanking it, for example. It has provided countless hours of solitary entertainment when I was in my early teens.
I got nothing against Bad Monkey either. Rock on.

I would take any Jumbo BM with Coleslaw anytime in my day... :-D
* drool * :lol:
On topic, I was able to to A/B the Digitech Bad Monkey with Ibanez' TS9 and they are almost the same. The TS-9 just has its analog like feel on it, more smooth sounding when boosting an amp or existing overdrive. Whereas the Bad Monkey, somewhat colors my sound... but the added Bass knob is where it really shines! Really a must for heavy to rock enthusiast guitarist. I still kinda feel sometimes that this BM is digital... or maybe it's just me...
How A/B'ying it with SD-1? Anyone have tried that? :wink:

I have both the SD1 and the BM... the SD1 has more gain and is in the trebly side of things... yung BM, i like the way it puts a lot of mids in the tone...agree ako ke B2D, its a different monster... TS808's has more gain as well, not sure yung orig na ts808, i only tried a reissue, fact is, mas close pa yung SD1 sa 808 kesa sa BM...
-
wouldnt mind having both. hehe
-
uy di noh.. mahal ko si Power Screamer, di ko ibebenta yun hehe. yun pati BM ang reasons why binenta ko na yung TS-808
Do you have the fat boost on your PS, Poundcake?
I also have the BM, SD1, BD2 but never had a TS9 or 808. I find them different is some ways but they're all in the TS9 family which for me are the pedals with the pronounced mids.
-

you wouldn't mind having all pedals in the world! pangarap mo yun diba? haha! :lol:

yup, my Power Screamer has the Fat Boost. i keep it on all the time :)
-
question po.. what do you think of digitech's tone driver? nasisimulate daw nya ung ts808 and ts9.. kaya ba talaga? mern ako xtd pero havnt tried the TS's.. so wla akong pang compare.. hehe
-
any soundclips you have?anylinks?
planning to buy soon having second thoughts though kasi napakalayo ng PJC shop samin
yung demo sa website nila parang meron ng halo reverb e
i want to hear it plain na walang reverb
-
set the BM's treble and drive controls to 1 o'clock and it mimics a TS-9 with its own controls set to 12 o'clock... TS-808 has a bit more grit which the BM doesn't rightfully match up against. imho...
-
:mrgreen: :mrgreen:
So all of you are saying that Bad monkey is Good......? hehehe so that monkey pretends to be a siga wherein it is actually a saint....hehehehe :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Good thing I have 1 in the cage
-
can the BM match Boss Dual overdrive SD-2 lead channel?
-
can the BM match Boss Dual overdrive SD-2 lead channel?
nope it cant. maybe ung crunch channel ng SD 2 kya ung BM or vice versa. Theres just to much gain sa lead channel ng SD 2 compared sa gain ng BM.

Yey for the Bad Monkey...! :lol:

for the price, you can't go wrong with the BM...
bang for the buck!!
30 pesos lang busog ka na....hehe joke...
-
ts808 is a monster too during it's time/era...you cannot compare the BM to it simply because it's a modern OD.
I can compare the BM to the BOSS OS-2 overdrive/distortion but not with the vintage tube overdrive ts808
there are totally different/ unique in their own very way
-
magkano ba dito yun brand new na bad monkey? o baka may mga nagbebenta jan ng 2nd hand.. ahaha.. alin para sa inyo yun mas tunog tube.. bm o tubescreamer? etong 2 kasi pinagpipilian koh as a overdrive eh.. pero mas in favor akoh sa bm.. :-D

mas tunog tube padin ang tubescreamer of course
Its not the grit but the roundness of the tone that tagged it to be tube sounding
-
hmm just wondering why sa TS808 compare yung BM.. I think its the TS9 is what its trying to "copy".
The TS808(at least the reissues Ive used) has more gain than that of the BM. The BM has a lot of mid's in it, that makes it sound round and warm. The TS9 and the BM are really very much close, when you do a blind A/B sound comparison on those 2 peds, I bet it will be very difficult to differentiate the 2 pedals.

i was al praises with BM up until the time i tried a TS 9. I literally i got rid of the BM the same minute I put my TS9 on my board, but for the money BM wins. for BM you get more than what you pay for actually but still Ts 9 is a TS 9.
-
the bad monkey is inexpensive that's why it's a big favorite......but i will stick with my ts808 AND ts9dx...they are both good sounding pedals stock!
we have keelley modified boss and ibanez pedals in the store that i work for...it is required of me to try EVERY pedal in the store....
the verdict? keeley modded pedals are good, BUT very little difference...and there are lot of more choices out there...
in terms of overdrive/distortion pedals.....it's better to buy a boutique than to modify a pedal.....if youve got the boss or ibby pedals to begin with, i guess it's worth modding to them to breathe new life into them but as for buying a 'new' pedal? depending on your budget, go for gold and buy your ultimate purchase....your dream pedal.......
if money is not an option...i would buy a porsche.... :mrgreen:
-
screamin blues nalang.
-
i think its famous not simply because its cheap, it has its own place in the scheme of things... im using it as a boost for my FD2 and modded SD1, to give it more mids when soloing.
-
im not a blues player (i want to be one though) and i havnt tried any of the TSxxx... but i love how my BM sounds with my silver dragon...more gain..more bang! :-D
-
screamin blues nalang.
dami nga sabi ok daw ito..
-
dami nga sabi ok daw ito..
Does the Screamin Blues have more gain?
-
Does the Screamin Blues have more gain?
although its still more of a boost pedal...the answer is "yep".
-
dami nga sabi ok daw ito..
talagang ok. though hindi nya kayang gayahin yung blues driver ng boss, pero good thing ay may mid-level boost ang screamin blues, at halos ganun din sya ka-creamy or ka-lagkit katulad ng bd2.
one thing: hindi gayang-gaya ng bad monkey ang ts9 (na siguro ineexpect ng majority rito). iba pa ring ang TS, pero the bad monkey is not "bad" at all. it has it's own "character" ika nga.
-
well for me BM and Screamin' Blues compliments each other. I tried the BD pero matapang for my taste. So nag-stick na lang ako sa screamin' blues but it doesn't mean na less ang drive ng screamin' blues depende rin kasi sa amp na gamit mo. Di ko gusto yung tunog pag solid state amp gamit ko pero pag tube amp, wow siya. But if you use the screamin blues as your dist and the BM as boost pedal galing ng tunog maybe because both have bass and high tweakability. IMHO
-
uy? binenta mo na si power screamer?
ako my opinion on the badmonkey, yeah, it's good enough for me. i was satisfied na with my badmonkey until i got an offer for a TS-9 which i just had to take, hehe. upon getting home, i A/B-ed the pedals, to my dismay, they're almost the same. mas clear lang yung TS-9 and mas "analog" yung tone, pero the badmonkey is a close second, actually parang kaya pa habulin with the more flexible controls on the badmonkey. so yun i sold the badmonkey and kept the TS-9. mali ko i should've kept both na lang, sarap nun pag cascaded eh, SRV baybeh!
tenks sa bad monkey piw. heheh. papamana ko na dapat to sa 'ading' ko binawi ko eh.. oks na oks. heheh. kaya balik siya sa pedal chain. yeba
-
may bad monkey na kmi dto sa pjc P2,500. 4 lng ang meron...
-
i have a BM and a ts5. ganda nila pareho. the ts5 is fuzzier though. ayoko lang sa ts5 yung plastic na casing.
-
I tried my BM (as main gain) after a DS100 (as a boost), nasal sounding, but when i added a digital delay, doon lumabas yung iba pang potential ng BM :-D Clarong claro yung crunch na gusto ko, the way I like it :mrgreen:
-
the masses have spoken....the bad monkey is a good pedal!
-
i agree! just got one last week and i'm very happy with it. very natural and fluid sounding. ibang iba sa tubsecreamer at blues driver.
-
but having said that....i still like my ts808 reissue, stock...
nabili ko kasi ito bago ko nalaman na may bad monkey pala.
-
I just sold my BM last week..
.. because of a KAWAYAN ZDC! :-D Happy. Can't wait.. Yum!
-
ako pinag sama ko un bad monkey at screaming blues.
ano po ba maganda na isama sa bad monkey para mabigat un tunog? pero un bad monkey yun booster ko.
thanks.
-
I've been using my badmonkey for more than 1 year now (thanks Poundcake!) and I must say that after disliking it at some point, it suits my style quite well. It may be a low gain pedal but by tweaking the tone knobs, you can get phat, in your face tones out of it. To my ears, it doesn't clean up that well with the volume knob of my guitars because I leave it on all the time, but I can live with it. As with any tool, learning how it works best will no doubt help you appreciate it :-)

My Bad Monkey sounded great with my Blues Driver. "Sounded" because Doksplata bought my BM na. :-D
Sabi nga ni BAMF, "Ok pang-boost ang BM sa BD mo." :-)

what are your opinions on the zendrive?

A totally different pedal! :|
-
what are your opinions on the zendrive?
I'm no tone afficionado, bro, but I can say that I'm happy with Kawayan's ZDC. Been playing around with it since I got it last saturday. Kung pwede ko lang dalhin sa trabaho ito..:-D
It's the first time, in my noobie guitarist life, that the notes come out clear even with overdrive. Kung baga sa photography, its gain has a wide latitude. It's something in-between my Boss Blues Driver and my old Boss Turbo Distortion minus the burak. And there's this knob called "voice." I'm still tinkering with it and trying to figure out what it is but when that knob is at 12 o'clock there's a certain kind of sweetness and crunch in the tone. Well, gotta ask Kawayan for that. :-D
Though my experience in Tube Overdrives and Distortion Pedals is still on the "honeymoon stage" , the ZDC gives justice to the tone/s in my mind's ear-- SRV-slash-Hendrix-with-the-less-mud tone.
Kawayan just forgot one last detail: my knobs that go up to 11. :-D
-
hey kawayan........i want a ZDC!!!! do you ship to the US?

Naku sobrang Ot na to. PM niyo nalang ako,or dun mag post sa ZDC thread.
Ok din naman yung BM. IMO,mas malapit siya sa TS9 kaysa TS808. Mas pogi tunog ng 808,IMO.
-
mr kawayan strat: please PM me regarding the price of your ZDC. thanks. :)
on topic: astig ang bad monkey when used infront of a double drive. nasty dynamics! spongy and tight at the same time!! :-D
-
the bad monkey is a nice pedal on its own. it's my first pedal and the two tone knobs help fix the sound to your specs. para sa akin medyo ma-mid siya masyado pero not too much. :)
-
funny, i started this thread wanting to learn about the bad monkey...
and i end up buying a ZDC :-D

Mga grand masters. Diba may Line out ang Bm for P.A./Mixer?

you can never have too many overdrive/distortion pedals in your arsenal. :-D
the owner of the store where i teach and my coteacher has more than three gain pedals in their pedalboard alone.
timmys,zendrive1&2,lil green wonder,sansamp,....it's really ridiculous...
but then again...i already have 2 tubescreamers on mine and pretty soon the zdc and a tonebone trimode ...
makakuha na nga din ng bad monkey....dapat may endorsement deal na to :lol:
mura, hinusgahan na maganda ang tunog galing mismo sa bibig ng mga philmusic forumites addictis....
coming soon boys! :-D

i beg to disagree caloy burger

I think in 15-20 years time, the Digitech Bad Monkey will be one the sought after pedal in Ebay. :mrgreen:
My BM never leaves my board.
-
that's fine bro...
and i wont disagree with that.
the ts9 and/or ts808...vintage or reissue or even modded would never be upstaged by the bad monkey even if it's a wonderful pedal.
-
hmmm.... maka try nga ng ts.
ok naman for me yung bad monkey. panga lawa ko na nga yung gamit ko ngayon eh. hinayang ako nung binenta ko yung una. ahehehehe.
-
dahil sa thread na to... bili na ko ng monkey
la ko pera pambili ng 808 lalo na yun zen...
kaya bili na ko bukas! yehey!
-
rock! bad monkey... ayoko ng nga patayin hehe explore ko pa cya kung anu pwede ko magawang combination ng tones with other pedals :-D

OT :-D
kung buhay pa kya srv? ano kya ang opinion nya dito? :mrgreen:

mga sirs, magkano ito at san makakabili? wanna try it for a difference. mukha naman maganda ang mga reviews. anyway, i just own od1 and wanna check this stuff. :wink:

2.5k brand new sa audiophile.

pjc store may sale sila

^^ ano po yung pjc store?

^^ ano po yung pjc store?
Music store sa may ortigas. may digitech pedals sila dun. Nakasale ung badmonkey.
Search mo dito sa forum.
-
i just got my bad monkey! yehey! hehehe! ayus! astig na overdrive! galit na galit yung distortion nya kapag may hm-100 before bad monkey... hehehe!
ano ba magandang mix sa bad monkey... before and after connections??
kapag connect ko sya before hm-100 para pang boost, add gain lang sya sa hm-100... so not much different sa original sound ng hm-100
pero kapag bad monkey after hm-100... malagkit yung distortion na produce nila... hehehe!
ano pa experience nyo sa mix ng bad monkey? san nyo ba sya ginagamit? boost lang ba sya? or main dirt?
-
i beg to disagree caloy burger
me to.. i disagree... ts-9 is better than a bad monkey..
-
pwede ba i-mod ang badmonkey para maging better sya sa stock na ts9 or 808? hehehe! para at least affordable good pedal sya... :-D
-
any overdrive pedal can be modified to be better than a ts808 or ts9...
even the ts9 itself can be modified to be better sounding than a ts stock ts9
man, daming followers ang bad monkey. i just started this thread to ask about the BM... i already have a ts9dx and ts 808 both of which are stock..easy to please naman ako e
owning a bad monkey is not on my list though. affordable sya than a ts9 or ts 808, i doubt it's better tonewise. but for the money, it's not bad.
sa mga barkada dito sa socal, i havent seen anyone who owns a BM.
but because of this thread, may 10 na cgurong bumili...... i should get royalties from digitech for starting this damn thread.
soundclips guys?
-
@blues2death, may soundclip sa digitech site ;)
what i liked about the bad monkey is when the gain is set to minimum.. it tends to have more dynamics and lesser gain when drive is at zero... + it has a treble+bass control which i found to be very flexible & compensate more to amps at diff. venues, compared to a regular TS.
TS9 vs BM --> i'd choose a BM
OD9 vs BM --> OD9 is better, and warmer & more natural sounding than TS9 or BM. It made the TS9 & BM sounds generic..
what you would hate about BM it is it's footswitch! It's like stepping on a sofa :lol:
-
hehehe! i guess i'll stick to my bad monkey... kasi la ko pera pambili ng kahit anong tube screamer... kahit second hand na TS di ko kaya... kaya BM na lang... ang behringer may clones din sila ng ts808 and ts9... pero syempre... dun na ko sa bakal yung built... :-D
-
bro....don't diss the ts808 or ts9... coz the only bad thing about them is the price.
i won't diss the bad monkey, but i have my own things to say about the bad monkey.
i was entered to play this contest "king of the blues" at guitar center...
i lived in laguna hills and i had my pedalboard at a friend's house in glendale. pretty long drive. and having no car at the time, there was no way i could go to his house to pick it up.
having no pedals on hand, i opted to buy the bad monkey so i don't have to ride the train get my pedals.
when i tested the bad monkey... i just didn't like it. returned it and ended up borrowing a friend's fulltone drive pedal plugged into a peavey classic. nevertheless i didn't qualify for the semis because of a confusion that i look liked another contestant....but that is a different story.
now i am not saying the bad monkey is a bum pedal. i liked my ts9 dx and ts 808 better....
the bm is not built to imitate the tubescreamer, but hey...it's green!
dissing another pedal to build up another one isnt the way to go.
i like my pedal better...and that is that..if you like the BM better...good for you.
respect.

Bad Monkey is getting a lot of praise in Harmony Central. MarKV is correct, footswitch is kinda soft... missing that normal 'click' effect. but the sound.... d*mn... very tight and punchy. I've tried using this as a stand alone drive on Live setting and it really rocks.
-
yup... verrrryyyy soooft :-D
compare to a boss pedal> sensitive sa pressure
and i hate the switch of the bm, its just like the ones with the zoom multi effects... kailangan medyo maingat... :-D
but i own one hehe

bro....don't diss the ts808 or ts9... coz the only bad thing about them is the price.

im not dissing the ts9 or ts808 for my BM... im just saying that i bought BM because i cant afford tubescreamers... pero kung afford ko naman ang TS, then why not... thats all... i just want a good, heavy duty, transparent, cheap overdrive...
nakasubok na ko ng ts9... its more transparent... a good overdrive too! but like i said... cant afford
as for the BM, may high and low eq sya, so versatile... IMHO, the BM is similar to Tubescreamers in terms of that its an overdrive and they add tube like character to your tone... for the sound... not a clone! kanya kanyang taste pa din... :-D
ipapa-mod ko na lang BM ko para better sya sa tubescreamer! hehehe!!
peace!
-
pwede ba i-mod ang badmonkey para maging better sya sa stock na ts9 or 808? hehehe! para at least affordable good pedal sya... :-D

me to.. i disagree... ts-9 is better than a bad monkey..
IMHO,
i also have a TS9 (stock) and i agree that it's a good pedal but it could be better. things i don't like about it are: midrange hump on all settings, a little weak on the bass, i feel its not transparent enough. what i like about it though is that it's an excellent boost pedal and good combo to a slightly dirty amp.
i know i could have it modified but i decided to spend the cash on the bad monkey to see what the rave was about. things i like about it? warmer overdrive esp. with a strat, can be used as a stand alone, more transparency, great pair to a slightly dirty amp, and thank god for the bass control. no plans of modifying it and for the price; two thumbs up!
-
i love this pedal it made my SD1 more louder and crisp hehehehe
-
im very satisfied with my BM.
VIVA BAD MONKEY!!!!
-
yung kapal ng highgain na distortion nakuha ko na sa bad monkey and sd1 hehe i am complete hehehehehehe
-

pls dont take offense markv, just messing with you. :-D

wala naman, since the bad monkey is a clone of a tubescreamer... i think it would be helpful for others if at least compared to where the BM was cloned from. Just a basis/guide.. ;)
Maxon kasi ung 'real' tubescreamers (od808 & od9)
-
hehehe! i guess i'll stick to my bad monkey... kasi la ko pera pambili ng kahit anong tube screamer... kahit second hand na TS di ko kaya... kaya BM na lang... ang behringer may clones din sila ng ts808 and ts9... pero syempre... dun na ko sa bakal yung built... :-D
...and now another bad monkey owner. heheh. thanks for the deal bro! enjoy!
-
actualy this thread made me easier to decide in buying bad monkey... hehehe! but this thread is actually started that this pedal is not a clone of ts808...
IMO, sir blues2death is right... it is 50-60% similar to ts808 because its an overdrive and adds tube character to your tone... so parehas silang tube overdrive/screamer! :-D
pero syempre, they have their own adv. and disadv. for each user... :-D

mismo!!!
minsan nga parang BM lang happy na ako. gaan pa bitbitin as compared pag dala buong board. also perfect for cascading with ds1.
it can boost most of my pedals. whenever i need a clean boost with my modulation pedals or boost with my other dirt peds.
it could be a stand alone pedal for clean boost or a stand alone dirt pedal.
and lastly, it drives my tube amp crazy.
:wink:

Guys need help.. I really love my Bad Monkey (China) but it sucks tone fairly noticeably when switched off (not an issue when onstage, but still...). Do you know DIYers or effects repair guys here that can at least lessen the tone suck? (I now know that it's impossible to TB a BM.)
Or it might be the power supply, can it contribute to tone-sucking when it's not made for guitar? I use a regulated Newstar because my pedals are sparingly home-used only basically; I use a Korg multi for everything at gigs. Obvious na tamad eh haha!
I have yet to try this one though: http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php?topic=138608.0 (http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php?topic=138608.0)
RFA: I can't sell it kasi, it was a gift from my "GAS-understanding" fiance, she'll go ballistic if she found out hahaha!
