Description:

"The DigiTech Bad Monkey Tube Overdrive Pedal gives your amp a boost right where you need it, sending your signal from clean to smooth, classic overdrive with character and dynamics. Low and High tone controls give you the flexibility to boost or cut the bass and treble frequencies for just the right sound. The Level knob boosts the output level of your signal, and the Gain knob controls the level of overdrive distortion. The Amp output runs into the input of your amplifier and the dedicated Mixer output has a cabinet emulation circuit that lets you run direct into a mixer or recorder when you don't want to lug your amp along."-DigiTech website.

Pros:	Nice warm tube tone without sounding too dirty.
Cons:	None

The Bad Monkey is a great pedal! Probably one of the best values of any effects pedal on the market. Only $49 new, they can be found used for around $30. Technically made for guitar, however works great for bass as you can adjust the bass and treble tone from the pedal. Gives a nice, warm fat tube sound without sacrificing your bottom end. Works great as a boost pedal to make your bass stand out more during live shows. Very solidly built.
