The Good: The manufacturer DigiTech has on his side at Demos, where you can switch at any time by clicking between the dry sound and effect sound with. Or, rather, effects. I have a feeling that DigiTech used in the demos more than just the Bad Monkey ...
Anyway. At home, I was a bit surprised by the Bad Monkey. He's great, but I feel myself confirmed in my suspicion that DigiTech cheats on his side.
My amp (Marshall JTM) he boosts in the right direction. I actually get bissigere sounds out. That is, the Bad Monkey is quite diverse, can be sorted out after the ups and downs separately. This can influence the character well.
However, I would not say that the sound quality is the ne plus ultra. Well, that was not to be expected in the price range. But overall, the part can be seen real.
The classic Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive has compared a warmer sound. Who wants to let his transistor amplifier sound röhriger which should perhaps try the one. Pure quality of Boss Distortion nose has expected forward: more transparency and above all, less sound distortion in bypass mode.
But in effect it is primarily about the taste. And since I find the Bad Monkey stands out somewhat from others. Evil monkeys are wild and has snappy.
