Ok, I just got the Bad Monkey this morning at GC for $36.After about 30 minutes of playing my first impression is very good.It sounds quite similar to my Boss Super OD with a Boss GE7-B run after it but I can now get it with one pedal.The lows are very good and the bypass seems pretty decent as well.I've noticed a digital brittleness when bypassing other Digitech pedals but the Bad Monkey is analog so that might be the difference.I wanted the Sparkeldrive but GC didn't have it and even if it's a little better,at $120 I think i'll stick with the Bad Monkey.Of course I have to test it with my band to know if I really want to keep it but right now i'm pretty sure i'll be holding on to it.The only thing that I want to do is mabye get an ODB-3 and put it head to head with the Bad Monkey.I know the ODB-3 has a lot higher gain but i'm more concerned about the low end, bypass tone and if it lets my natural bass sound come through at all.Anybody else that uses the Bad Monkey, I would appreciate some of your settings to try out...............
