Ok this is supposedly a TS9 with more grace fréquencielle beach in a tone knob and more.
I like Digitech boxes, they present a credible alternative between Boss boxes and boxes like "boutique" type (MXR or EH). A solid chassis and a real scenic comfort.
9VDC consumption with near normal for nothing as basic analog pedal amperage.

UTILIZATION

So dumber you die. But that's the charm of a stomp box.
Frankly no need for manual or so to understand the "secret trick inside", that the creature offers an exit opportunity simulating a cab. But hey I do not live in the USSR in 1970 and without wishing I better show off at home. Incorrigible engineers at Digitech are definitely unable to stay even with the simple starter model of their game.
The Bad Monkey is a booster, she brings warmth and humanity to sound a bit cold, so this is a pedal complement directed to a tube amp or a chaining pedals that would become a bit inconsistent.
For it is good to clarify that Tube Screamer, if translated means scream his lamps, so if you have nothing to scream ie no tube amp, even at this price point you will not be happy your purchase, just the impression of a clean boost not really clean.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the cult effect Phill X by this brand endorser by BTW. But the Bad Monkey is far from the only pedal warfare arsenal of this brave Phill. Again the pedal in question is only one pedal accompaniment to give "soul" to a sound that would surprise.
It's pretty cool to work the equalizer a little more finely than usual, but good.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal is not radical she adds, amplifies, enhances an already reflected in its upstream.
namely girlfriends around and especially a tube amp a little sleepy.
Owner of a 1983 TS9 mij I see almost no connection between the two, both Ibanez goes so much further into saturation. The bad monkey is closer to the pedals as the MXR micro amp or Bottom Booster Ibanez, the pepper of your sound, not the salt. The pedal costs only slab and the experience is worth the cost, but that's no reason to neglect the issue before any purchase of pedal that would be: What's missing in my sound?
Because this pedal alone will rule any questions.
