Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Distortion & Overdrive
This is my favorite TS-style OD at any price, but for $35 you can't beat it. I use it to push my JHS Angry Charlie into an aggressive metal tone, or into a very fluid, sustaining lead tone. It sounds great this way, and the separate "bass" control lets me dial back in the bass loss that typicall comes when using a pedal of this type. I've also experimented with the pedal as its own drive channel, in front of my Joyo American Sound (Amp sim pedal) and it has plenty of its own gain to excel this way. I'm still playing with settings to get a nice, bluesy driven tone in front of the clean American Sound pedal, but getting good results so far.

This bad boy holds its own on a bass pedalboard amongst many other more expensive OFD pedals. It sounds great coupled solely with my Orange Twin Stroke boosting it into the bass riffage stratosphere. But where my Monkey really shines is stacked up in various combos with my SA Aftershock, Blues Driver, Titefuzz, warping my chorus/flanger, and also when I crank my 2 Stroke into true OD territory. This wouldn’t be the only OFD pedal on my bass board only because, well, there will never only be one. This isn’t freaking Highlander. And also because I tend to favor pedals that crank toward extremes. But this baby is my super glue, the one I throw into the mix to tie a screaming tube into a deep, echoey chorus or when I want a heavy fuzz growl to clamp down with some face shredding bite.

My favorite overdrive pedal at the moment. With the 2 band eq I can set it so it doesn't roll off too many lows or highs like a TS. I run the lows and highs at about 90% and when I kick on the pedal it just adds some grit and gets real warm and fat in the mids.

I bought this for my band mate’s birthday. I have one and it’s one of my favorite pedals. I bought mine back when they were new on the market. It was cheap but had a great sound. There is a reason that these still sell used but they aren’t cheap anymore!

This is more of a boost vs a distortion pedal. Treble and bass are smooth but do not have a real pronounced range. Volume control is good and very usefull for use with a harmonica mic that does not have a volume control. Gain will give distortion but I run it fairly clean. Pedal is heavy and well built. Pedal also adds some compression. Passes signal well when disengaged. I like it.
