| Subject: | An Integral part of my Blues Rig |
| Quality:
| Great Quality |
| Sound:
| Love the Tone, I plugged this thing and my tone was completely transformed. |
| Reliability:
| I just got it yesterday so I can say, but im pretty easy on my pedals so I think it should hold up for as long as I have it |
| Overall:
| I love this thing, a friend of mine had one and said it worked pretty well and I read nothing but good review on it and watched as many youtube videos as I could find so I ordered one and I was seriously blown away. I have finally achieved the tone I have been wanting from the very beginning. Im a Bluesman so my rig is small. I am running a modified Squier Strat with Fender Pups thru a Boss FBM-1->Bad Monkey-> Marshall ED-1 COmpressor into a Crate 1x12 Solid State amp and my tone sounds like a $1200 tube amp. Finally got my Warm John Mayerish tone, only a tad brighter and a lil more Driven. SATISFACTION!! |

| Built tough that's for sure....I fumbled it out of the box and not a mark to be had.... |
| Sound:
| Plenty of overdrive with low and high level controls make it possible to find a wide variety of tonal possibilities |
| Reliability:
| This think is built tough and should stand the test of time! |
| Overall:
| Nice overdrive pedal for the price! |

| Subject: | Good Basic Overdrive Pedal |
| Quality:
| Solid, all metal body and large rubber base keeps the pedal in place. Will probably outlive me. |
| Sound:
| At this price point, your basically looking at the Bad Monkey or Boss SD-1. Both good overdrive pedals. The Boss provides a slightly more natural guitar sound to my ears, but the Bad Monkey has more flexibility to adjust the tone with the Low and High knobs. They both provide about the same level of overdrive. The Boss SD-1 does compress the signal a little bit which can change the tone of other pedals down the chain, whereas the Bad Monkey does not and so provides a more 'open' and warmer sound. |
| Reliability:
| Bought this as a b-stock item. This is my third Digitech b-stock pedal. They all arrived in basically pristine condition and work perfectly. I'm guessing that most b-stock are customer returns that arrived DOA and sent back to the factory for repair. Well it's unlikely they'll break again. I was hesitant at first to buy b-stock gear, but no more. Saved a lot of money and got gear that basically looks new with full manufacturers warranty. |
| Overall:
| Well built, good sound. This is an Overdrive pedal, not a Distortion pedal! Learn the difference. |
| Playability and Feel:
| |
| Tone:
| Very full and warm sounding, but ever so slightly muffled to my ears. Can be brightened up by adjusting the Low and High knobs. |
| Finish:
| Pedal looks brand new and unused and came with all original packaging and paperwork, including warranty card. |

| Quality:
| it is built very well. i've had it for almost a year and it has taken quite the beating traveling with me. |
| Reliability:
| its reliable in the sense that it keeps giving the same sound that i had from it on day one. |
| Overall:
| like i said i take it with me where ever i go, but i don't use it anymore since i got my line6 xt live pedal board. |
| Playability and Feel:
| it just wasnt the distortion i was looking for. i was looking for something a little heavier to get a good 80s rock feel and this didn't deliver. its more of a blues or jazz sound. |
| Tone:
| the tone is very bright. |
| Finish:
| one thing i do love is the finish and the name:) |
| Action:
| it was okay. |
