The DOD Badder Monkey overdrive has just been teased, and takes the once-affordable Digitech Bad Monkey budget pedal to new heights with a reissue of the TubeScreamer-style drive pedal.
DOD Badder Monkey
All we have is one image and a very short teaser video, but the hype train has now left the station for the new DOD Badder Monkey overdrive pedal, and guitar forums are already arguing about it.
Digitech Bad Monkey – Hype Price Increase
The original Digitech Bad Monkey was a very affordable (around £25 in the UK) TubeScreamer-style overdrive pedal, but it was later pushed to exorbitant prices online by Josh Scott of JHS Pedals and YouTube influencers, who claimed it could achieve Klon-style drive tones.
DOD/Digitech was even rumoured to be reissuing it not that long ago.
Controls
It has a Phase switch (Troop) and a Clean Blend of some sort, but that’s all we know for now. With two controls labeled Mood and Barrel.
More Monkey?
DOD is now the brand making the former Digitech-branded overdrive pedal. However, it is all the same company, and so this reissue/relaunch/updated pedal still makes sense.
This new version has a monkey graphic and a similar green metallic finish; however, it has the more vintage-style DOD pedal casing and layout.
Hopefully, it won’t be expensive.
