Digitech Bad Monkey Inquiry

[lolwat]

Hey guys, so I've finally decided to try out the world of analogue pedals (not that I'd totally abandon my RP500, it's got far too much sentimental value for me to ditch it completely ) with a specific focus on distortion. So far I have an MT-2 Bogner Mod courtesy of MarkV (thanks man!) and a custom 5-band EQ based on the Mesa Boogie Mark/Dual Caliber series designs by independent pedal maker company ADEV. By now this may already be obvious to you that I'm trying to find a way to emulate Mesa-type sounds without actually having to buy the actual amps.

Right now the only missing ingredient is a nice overdrive pedal which will handle solo and dirt boost duties. Of course the traditional choice would be the Ibanez TS overdrive pedals, but I'm very much interested in the Bad Monkey mainly for its separate bass and treble EQ controls as well as its TS-like pedigree without being an outright clone. In fact I'm pretty much sold on it already seeing a lot of excellent demos by users.

I plan to use it this way:

Guitar->modified MT-2->Bad Monkey->5 band EQ->amp

Now my question is how much volume boost can be afforded with the Bad Monkey. Has anyone had any direct experience with it so far? Is anyone selling theirs?

IMHO, getting a Dano TOD or a rave ComeOnScream would be a really good option. truebypass, fraction of the price.  or better yet, if you're looking for a mesa tone, why not try getting PLUGZZZ rectorizer? this pedal really gets that mesa sound (based on what I hear sa demos) plus it has that boost option that you're looking for. hahaha

hope this helps.

OT: kumusta yung EQ ng ADEV? good buy? Im thinking of getting a delay from them kase. hahaha hiwalay pa sa TC delay hahaha

sir:

medyo nagsawa ako sa tunog ng TOD nung pinagamit sa kin ni Nate
ayoko ng tone control only/outright TS clone
mahaba yung cable ko papuntang amp
masaya ako sa "mesa-ish" sound ng Bogner mod

Gusto ko lang talaga matesting yung bad monkey mehng  

Regarding the ADEV EQ, ok yung sweep nung bands ser, pinagawa ko lang uli kasi di unity gain yung supposedly "flat" settings nung pedal.

sa U.S. $ 30-40 brand new, pero sa Audiophile parang 2.5k ang benta 

Galing pala nung frequencies na specified ng Mesa, kuha yung sweet spots e )

Kailan balik mong Pinas ser?

May trabaho ka na dyan ser?

i use my mt2 ultra gain mod (modded by ricabb) for my mesa tone taste.

if i need to boost it, i use Badmonkey for lead parts. swabeng swabe naman (IMHO). minsan, i boost the mt2 with a ds1 brit mod. ok din basta low gain lang ang settings ng britmod. otherwise, sobrang lakas na nun and possible annoying feedback will come out. heeheheh

i suggest you go for the badmonkey. sobrang flexible ng pedal na yan bro. perfect din yan as stand alone pedal for blues.

sulit na sulit for 2.5K, i bought mine sometime 3 years ago and til now hindi nawawala sa setup ko ang badmonkey.

OK sir, salamat Gaanong kalakas na volume boost yung pwedeng magamit using the BM starting from the noon position?
