Digitech Bad Monkey Hype Train

[norminal]

Prices for DigiTech's $59 Bad Monkey overdrive skyrocket to $650 after Josh Scott shows how indistinguishable it sounds from a Klon Centaur

The humble pedal from 2004, which has received “extremely mixed” reactions over the years, has seen its price increase tenfold in some cases after an eye-opening demo video from the JHS Pedals guru

@Tom Von Kramm any plans on re-issuing this thing? 😂

 

[Tom Von Kramm]

Not a re-issue no.

Update with true bypass it is! ❤️

@Tom Von Kramm I know how you feel about re-issues. That’s why I tagged you. 😂

Last week I posted that I forgot about the pedal and saw they were selling for $75 online when they were $40 new. And now this!

What?? WOW!!

I have a Bad Monkey in my closet.

If anyone wants it, I would probably let it go for $500. Saves you $150!!

Okay - special discount for TGF members = $400 with free shipping! 😁

I sort of brought it up during the Q&A (before the JHS video):

Are there any plans to release a TS based (or mid hump) pedal?

Like an updated Bad Monkey? I think that is a genius idea!

The National Enquirer of GuitarTubers.

That said, I watched the one he did on Ed Roman, which I found perfectly fine because by all in tents with porpoises, he was a major sh*thead. I hadn’t actually seen that name very much after he passed and was surprised someone these days would even be interested in covering him.

KDH is OK. Generally speaking

As Drew stated, he DOES seem to migrate towards gear-related gossip or tabloid content. But I haven’t seen too much bias, aside from his personal dislike of “Chappers” and his brand. I guess there’s an audience for that kind of content? I mean, at least he seems educated and articulate.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, he’d probably fit right in here. 😂

Yeah I don’t know what it is. His videos aren’t poorly done in terms of info or anything. I just…..can’t get into the YouTube for the sake of complaining-type videos. It’s just a weird thing to me. I don’t even disagree with him most of the time. Like, Chappers is a douche, and Jeff Kiesel be Kieseling.

Honestly, I like Josh, I like his pedals. I know there was controversy over this or that in the past, but I dig his videos, and he seems like someone I’d dig having a beer with, and shooting the s**t.

I think JHS Josh seems like a great guy. His affect on the pedal market asidec
