DOD Badder Monkey Overdrive
Overdrive Pedal
The demand for a Bad Monkey re-issue has been strong, so Digitech DOD is enhancing the original design rather than just re-issuing it. The “Badder Monkey™” will still feature its original “Bad Monkey” overdrive circuit, gain, and EQ frequencies, but they are also introducing two new circuits: “Behaved” and “Badder”.
The new patent-pending 360-degree “Barrel” control allows you to blend any two of the three overdrive paths, giving you the ability to create hundreds of unique overdrive combos. The toggle switch lets you move the Bad circuit in or out of phase, or leave the toggle switch in the center position to activate Troop mode and use all three circuits at once. NOTE: When in TROOP mode the Barrel Control becomes inactive
The new “Badder Monkey™” includes the patent-pending reversible StagePlate™. On one side is the “Skid Pad” for keeping the pedal in place on the stage or ground. Simple remove the screws and flip the plate over to use the pre-attached “hook side” pad for easy pedalboard attachment.
From a light breakup to a heavy Rock tone the “Badder Monkey™” is the perfect choice.
