i onw 2 digitech pedals, Grunge and Bad Monkey. heres a short review:
*Grunge:
Positive:
-high gain but not extreme enough to be psychotic.
-capable of intense chugging action
-depending on the amp, can be a great distortion.
-good beginner high gain pedal. get this, dont get the MT2. wahehehe!
Negative:
-not versatile
-majority of venues have crap amps, so you will get a crap sound.
-doesnt work well with many guitars. as for me, it only delivered with my dime, it sounded undefined and annoying with the others... but not as annoying as the MT2.
-limited tweakability because of its level of compression. as i have said, your amp better be good.
*Bad Monkey
Positive:
-it is my current main bass OD. read the other reviews, it says its great on guitar... as for me, i plugged it in my bass and along with a few other pedals, i am happy with my OD sound. a MUST get pedal. you will always find a use for this... be it a booster or your main dirt sound.
Negative:
-if you get this for the wrong reasons, then of course it would suck. dont expect this to be a stand alone pedal for high gain music.
