Digitech DOD-BADDERMONKEY Reissue Overdrive Effects Pedal

The demand for a Bad Monkey re-issue has beens trong,sowe’re enhancing the original design rather than just re-issuing it. The “Badder Monkey™” will still feature its original “Bad Monkey” overdrive circuit, gain, and EQ frequencies, but we’re also introducing two new circuits: “Behaved” and “Badder”. Our new patent-pending 360-degree “Barrel” control allows you to blend any two of the three overdrive paths, giving you the ability to create hundreds of unique overdrive combos.

The toggle switch lets you move the Bad circuit in or out of phase, or leave the toggle switch in the center position to activate Troop mode and use all three circuits at once. NOTE: When in TROOP mode the Barrel Control becomes inactive. The new “Badder Monkey™” includes the patent-pending reversible StagePlate™. On one side is the “Skid Pad” for keeping the pedal in place on the stage or ground. Simple remove the screws and flip the plate over to use the pre-attached “hook side” pad for easy pedalboard attachment. From a light breakup to a heavy Rock tone the “Badder Monkey™” is the perfect choice. We are excited for you to experience this new era of the Cage-Free DOD.

StagePlate™
The DOD Badder Monkey is equipped witha  revolutionary reversible StagePlate™ that enhances flexibility and usability for musicians. This unique design allows users to effortlessly switch between two sides: the Skid Pad side and the Hook side.
Skid Pad Side: The pedal ships with our new (patent-pending) 2-sided StagePlate™ installed, with a rubber skid pad side exposed when shipped. This provides stable grip on most surfaces when activating the footswitch.
Hook Side: The StagePlate™ can be flipped over to expose the opposite side which has a pre-installed “hook” pad intended to mate with the “loop” material to secure pedal to a pedal board. To flip the StagePlate™ to the hook side, simply remove the four StagePlate™ screws, flip the StagePlate™ over, then reinstall the screws. 
With the DOD Stage Plate’s versatile design, you can enjoy both reliability and convenience.

KEY FEATURES:

Barrel Knob (Bleed Control): This is the “first of its kind” in pedals. (Patent Pending) Will be used in future DOD pedals.
Important note: This is not a gain increase knob. It’s a Blend control for the 3 independent circuits.

BARREL (Blend) Control: Controls the mix of the three independent parallel overdrive circuits. This blends any two of the three parallel overdrive circuits, allowing 1) a Behaved / Bad mix, 2) a Bad / Badder mix, or 3) a Badder / Behaved mix. Also note that this BARREL control has stop positions (“detents”) at the Behaved, Bad, and Badder marks around the knob. At these stop positions, only that particular overdrive circuit is active, allowing you to utilize the pure tone of a single overdrive circuit, if desired.
Bad: Circuit  This is the same circuit as the Original Bad Monkey. Put the barrel knob in this position to get the same sound that was loved by so many musicians from the Original Bad Monkey.

Mode Toggle Switch: Upper switch position: (indicated by an upright Bad Monkey icon), the Bad overdrive circuit is in phase with the Behaved and Badder circuits. 
Lower switch position: (indicated by an inverted Bad Monkey icon), the Bad overdrive circuit is out of phase with the Behaved and Badder circuits This out-of-phase mode induces phase cancellation of various frequencies, resulting in additional tonal variety in the blended overdrive sounds. You can achieved a FUZZ Sound by using this setting. 
Middle switch position (TROOP):, The BARREL control is (inactive) and the three parallel overdrive circuits are mixed evenly (with all three signal paths in phase), resulting in further tonal variety with rich harmonic content. Side Note: a group of monkeys together is referred to as a “TROOP” Bananas: Gain Control, Curiosity: Level Control, Grunt: Low EQ, Screech: High EQ,

Skid Pad Side: The pedal ships with the new (patent-pending) 2-sided StagePlateTM installed, with a rubber skid pad side exposed when shipped.  This provides stable grip on most surfaces when activating the footswitch.

“Hook” Side: The StagePlateTM can be flipped over to expose the opposite side which has a pre-installed “hook” pad intended to mate with the “loop” material which is a standard means of mounting pedals securely to a pedal board. 
The Badder Monkey is the first pedal to show this new exciting feature. This will be a feature on future DOD Products.
