Hello, Effects Fans!
Today we announce our new Dirt Monkey overdrive module. The Dirt Monkey compares to the Digitech Bad Monkey. The Bad Monkey is basically a Tubescreamer with better tone control and a cabinet simulator for those times when you need to use the house PA without an amp. The Bad Monkey was always a very good, very affordable pedal. Some time back, a review of it was taken a bit out of context, leading to a big run-up in price. Many felt that it was only hype. But in this case, it was more the case of an undervalued pedal finally getting some recognition. No, it shouldn't have shot up as much as it did since there was an ample supply of them, but it should be on par with vintage Tubescreamers in our opinion. Regardless of the marketing and internet silliness, it is a very good overdrive. Even better in a rack!
