If Josh is on a mission to kill hype then I am very much cheering him on.
Amen. I love your comment. I detest Hype.
@@kellykent131 ya there’s buzz and excitement which is nice and feeds the experience but when it turns into exclusivity and frankly stupid prohibitive prices then I’m out haha especially when it’s based on a difference you can’t even hear between a bad monkey and a klon which amounts to a price difference of $8950 or whatever it is. God I would feel dopey in a few years if I’d bought a klon 😂 I already feel dopey enough as it is for getting swept up in hype to the degree that I did.
@@chesneytube1 Friend, don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve bought pedals on their looks. Sometimes it worked out, sometimes it didn’t.
Josh’s video about pedal myths is one of the best videos from him that I’ve ever seen. It helped me realize that lots of new pedals are based on old circuits like the tube screamer for example. So I don’t lose my mind because I don’t own the latest ear candy. I know what sounds I’m looking for, and I try to base my purchases on that.
More like creating hype since he knows how dumb people are !?
That paradox is he was trying to de hype boutique pedals only to succeed in hyping up a budget sleeper pedal.
Best ways to over-inflate a pedal:
1. It's seen on John Mayer's board
2. Josh Scott name drops John Mayer as an influence of the pedal
3. Josh does a review on an obscure pedal
4. Rhett Shull demos an obscure pedal given to him by Josh Scott
🤣📈🙌
The bad monkey is not really obscure they are very available. The prices will go back down pretty damn soon, I believe.
pedal illuminati confirmed
@@williamolsen20 Despite there being tons, how many people really knew about them?
More importantly, how many own them or even more importantly, how many use them on the regular…
If guitarists had half a brain cell to share among us, the Klon would have nose dived in price instead. 🤣
......they can which places in price.........Klon 30 dollars.............Bad Monkey 1,000 dollars...😅😅😊
Klon? KON!
no like this is unironically absolutely the truth. if we lived in a fair and sane world Josh's efforts would actually lead to these insane pedal prices going down. the whole point was to say "why are you spending thousands on a klon when it sounds the same as this 'shit' pedal that you all hate."
and everyone responds like "whoa it sounds like a klon??? IT MUST BE MADE OF PURE UNOBTAINIUM!"
@@loreleiofthemist As I've always said, musos are their own WORST enemies when it comes to equipment stupidity!
@@loreleiofthemist UNOBTAINIUM is officially my favorite element in the periodic table now...
Josh proves how gullible and silly we can be!!!
Haha! 🙌🎸
There’s so much good gear now, that there’s no such thing as a brand of pedal that will make or break you.
I'm ready for all the pedal companies to start making clones of the Bad Monkey!
@PC LOAD LETTER I like the bad monkey ! I tested it against many tube screamer pedals and other many Marshall in the box pedals and I choose the bad money every time !
Speak for your self buddy ! I bought the bad monkey years ago before Josh was on UA-cam😂 I'm pretty sure I paid $25 for it !
He needs to make a video where he makes the metal zone sound like high end metal pedals
I don’t think the Internet can handle it 😭🤣
Ola Englund did that
Guy from Biffy Clyro uses a metal zone and gets a great sound.
Believe it or not that already happened. People figured out you can use it as a preamp by running it through the fx loop and it sounds super good. Ola showed that off and so did other channels
Wow, you are out of touch with the metal zone story.
I predicted this happening a while back and collected 27 Bad Monkeys for £25-40 over the last few years. I've sold them all since his video for £90-130 each and bought myself a new guitar. It's hilarious. Thanks Josh!
*[When you're happy to be a piece of shit]*
"They all laughed as they sold me the last of their bad monkeys... the last laugh was mine."
I bought a Bad Monkey a number of years ago because Phil X used one and it sounded so good in his videos. What I discovered was that the pedal was ok nothing exceptional and it was a combination of the effect and Phil’s talent that made it sound so good. So I sold it and moved on, no regrets. This is what I learned, there are guitarists that can made one note sound incredible. Record yourself playing, listen to it, analysis your technique and spend more time working out how to make yourself sound better that way than wasting your time down that rabbit hole of effects pedals. Practice with a purely clean sound, when it sounds good clean then your ready to enhance that sound with an effect pedal.
I came here to say the exact same thing! Fretted Americana back in the day was incredible, and that alone should have enshrined the Bad Monkey in gear history
This is so true.
When I was JUST getting into learning/playing guitar, my brother gave me my grandfather's guitar that'd been left to him when grandpa passed away. My brother was not a guitar player, and had no interest, but he knew I was learning, so thought it would be better that I have it and enjoy it.
To this day, I love that guitar for both emotional and sentimental reasons (obviously), but I also genuinely like the unique look and sound of it as well. It's one of those 1960s Sears style, lawsuit era clone guitars, that looks like some sort of Fender Mustang/Jaguar hybrid. The only name on it anywhere is the cursive word "Tempest" in some type of gold foil rectangular sticker on the headstock (alongside the Chiquita Banana stickers that grandpa stuck on the headstock. lol He would eat Bananas sometimes when playing guitar on his porch.)
Anyway, when I first got it, and was plunking around on it, I thought there was something wrong with it, because it didn't "sound so great," and thought it probably needed a setup (which it did, to be fair).
So, I took it to the local music shop of a friend, and asked them to take a look at it. Told them I thought it had something wrong with it. They listened to my concerns, and then this guy who worked at the shop (who was a very good, semi-professional guitar player) offers his hand out curiously and says, "ok, let's have a look at it."
I hand it to him, he plugs it into one of their tester amps behind the counter, and proceeds to just *RIP* on the thing... huge sounding chords, then to Vai-like shredding, then slowed up to some blues bars and licks, then to beautiful harmonics and ringing bends with knob volume swells that made the guitar sound like it was singing.
I know my mouth was hanging open when he stopped playing, turned the volume knob down, looked back at me and said, "yeah, it could probably use a setup and action adjustment to make it easier to play, but honestly, it sounds pretty good. It's a nice guitar; not many are made like this anymore. It's in really good shape for it's age too."
I was still pretty floored by his playing, and said, "how on earth did you... what... I can't get it to sound anything like that."
To which he responded, and I've never forgotten this lesson, and it changed my playing and approach to gear... he said...
"Good gear matters, but your ultimate tone is found right here," (and held up his fingers). "Get the best gear that you can, always, but never forget that how you play, your technique and precision, and the melodies and notes that you choose to play are more important than any piece of equipment."
As I said, I never lost that lesson, and grandpa's guitar ended up on a couple recorded albums a few years later, where I then had friends (with far better gear than I) asking me, how I "got that unique guitar sound" on the record, how much they liked it, and wanted to dial in something similar on their rigs.
So, that's a long-winded way of saying, "you are so right." lol
I agree Dude - well said
Josh Scott has a self-depreciating sense of dry irony in his humour that you rarely see with Americans. And I think that's why a lot of his fellow countrymen often misunderstand where he's coming from.
His dry ass humour is what I crave.
There are plenty of us who get it. We’re just not the noisy ones who seem to be in the spotlight.
Go to hell dude. We get it just fine.
Josh is hilarious
Not as common as it is in England but there are plenty of us here.
Someone described Josh as a very boring and reasonable serial killer, with a soothing voice. This is enormous fun.
What the heck 🤣🙌❤️
Exactly why I stick with Boss pedals :) !!! And Josh is right, most pedals ARE the same! Any idiot willing to pay $200+ for a $35-$50 pedal deserve to lose their money!
What’s awful is the fact the other boutique pedal prices have not comedown which is really what should happen.
Exactly! The klon should be £50 because it’s no better than a £50 pedal but of course, the idiot guitar community decides the Bad Monkey is now worth £1000 🙄
It’s gotten so bad that even other non boutique companies are trying to sell for boutique prices. Why is a waza pedal $250 and the standard version $75? That kind of thing.
That is so true about the top level prices going down.
You guys should maybe take two seconds and understand supply/demand.
Bad Monkey is cheap because there are lots of them.
Why do you care if a Klon is $5000 when a bunch of other pedals are 99.99% kook for .0001% of that price?
You make no sense.
@@marbar1844 I totally understand supply and demand, the issue here isn’t about supply, it’s the fact there should be no demand for the Klon when it’s no better than the Bad Monkey, or many other OD’s for that matter.
"People need to be bothered." -Josh Scott
🤣🙊💪
This pedal shoot out happened 13 years ago, then it happened a dozen or so more times and no one listened. Josh just has a wider audience than the other folks who already unraveled this mystery…
Brett Kingman!
I bought my Bad Monkey years and years ago. I didn't know a whole lot about pedals then. I went to a local shop and compared it to a Tube Screamer and a Blues Driver. The Bad Monkey sounded just as good, if not better. I was MUCH cheaper. I still have it.
That’s awesome mate! A good case of listening with your ears 🎸📈🐒
I'll give you ONE-MILLION-KAJILLION-TEITILLIOOOON for it.
- Dr. EVIL
Same here. It's been probably at least 15 years since I picked mine up. After the JHS video, I went to check my gear drawer and there it sat with the $20 sticker still on the box.
I have always wanted one, for years and years but never pulled the trigger. They were $60-$70. Lol. That being said, there are some other great cheap overdrives.
Same here. Love the Bad Monkey. It's an awesome little pedal. Something I'd never sell. :)
The “Josh Scott Effect” on BadMonkey pricing is a perfect example of the kind/type of power a Social Influencer has….even if he didn’t set out to be one initially. ✌🏻
Nice to see the Tele getting out for a strum. Very cool sound, and great playing.
I wanted a DF-7 because of the JHS comparison video, they are finally just now coming down in price. Probably because of that Bad Monkey overshadowing everything else.
Kool vid! I bought a BM back in ‘08. It’s in a bin somewhere around here! 😀
Never change what you do, Josh!!! Let people be morons and overpay for basic circuits!!! Yes, I listed my crusty Bad Monkey pedal for $175 and sold within two hours, all I did was offer an item if someone wanted it for a semi reasonable price, no way I could accept $300 and feel decent about it, sign of the times!!! Great channel here, always the total package 😎👏🔥🎶
Congrats on that sale 🐒 Josh is a legend, and thank you so much for watching our channel 🎸❤️
Don’t apologize for the sale. I sold one also. If someone is willing to pay it’s on them. Mine was listed for three weeks before it sold this week. All I did differently was raise the price this week.
I sorry I gave mine away, back in 2005.
@marcus anthony that's hilarious 😅
I was immediately tempted to sell mine - and I'd be able to accept 300 or more, gladly - but then I wouldn't be able to use it anymore, and I love it.
Great video bro! You and Josh are legends! I’m completely agree, we need to play more, make good music and not getting crazy with gear 🙏🌟❤️🎸
Thank you so much mate, really appreciate that ❤️🚀🎸
@@PedalPawn you are very welcome mate! ❤️🌟🎸
I have a Bad Monkey (with box) that I got at a local guitar and gear show about 6 years ago for $50 (plus also got a Nobels ODR-1 there for about $55). The BM can sound good and I more or less like it but I’m not a huge fan of the Tube Screamer style “mid hump”. I do like the BM because it has a good bottom end that is missing on the Tube Screamer. My TS-10 Tube Screamer when compared with the BM is surprisingly somewhat smoother in the mids plus more full sounding than I thought, so I do like it too. My Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive seems to be a really big sounding TS derivative which I like a-lot.
Best part of the vid is your playing. I'll tune in for more of that!
I first heard about the Bad Monkey when I was watching Fretted Americana videos and Phil X was using one to drive his old Magnatone Tonemaster. I think he did that to show how the guitar would sound, and running the guitar through a Bad Monkey kinda gave you a look at what guitar to sound like through an overdrive pedal.
That’s awesome, I still love watching those Phil X videos 🐒
I've had a Bad Monkey since 2010. I've always loved it despite its unpopularity. I also have a Hardwire CM-2 which is insanely good.
I have both of them, too. On the same board with a TCE MojoMojo. I may have an OD problem.
I like that the Bad Monkey has bass & treble controls. To me, that adds a lot of versatility compared to the single tone control. That said, I did grab one of the reissue Bluesbreakers, which is a darn good pedal, but there really was no need to wait for the reissue as it's one of the most copied circuits. Thanks.
Wow, so glad you CONFRONTED him and gave me the TRUTH I was seriously worried until this controversy has been cleared up for me.
Brilliant interview. See, I never buy pedals based upon popularity; I buy them based on a combo of quality for cost and whether they will serve my sound (harder to determine than one might imagine, because I play heavily modded Gretsch guitars, and everyone who shoots demo videos always plays Strats, Teles, or the occasional ‘rebel’ with a Les Paul or a PRS. I never see Filter’Trons and I never see P90s…which are all I play for now and for the foreseeable future. I play them because I love their tones-I particularly like when the semi-hollow w/P90s covers the rhythm parts and the super-upgraded 2019 Jet with ‘Trons covers lead-or vice versa. I was about to buy a quality Squier or Eart Telecaster (Earts have STAINLESS STEEL FRETS and roasted maple necks for under $400!), until my amp died and I had to replace THAT for $500.
Who would have ever thought that 2 overdrive pedals do the same thing?
Bad Monkey sucks. It distorts when you turn up the gain.
🤔🙊🤣
I love your videos!!! Keep it up!!!
Thanks so much for watching, really appreciate it 🎸🚀
Can I just ask what Telecaster is that at the end of the video? Is the finish a butterscotch blonde or am I wrong? Thanks a lot.
i was wanting one before that vid. it was mentioned on many vids on great players with it on their boards. i have never played through one i remembered when they first came out . joshs vids are awsome
Awesome stuff mate, best of luck on grabbing one 🐒❤️
I got my Bad Monkey for free when I subscribed to Total Guitar magazine years ago!
Think I’ve always preferred it over my TS9.
I remember the first time I was sort of done with pedal hype. Andertons did a video with a tone city golden plexi and a Venuram Jan Ray. And I vastly preferred the Tone city. That being said, I own nearly 50 pedals :)
I'm so happy I don't get caught up in the pedal dream. When I decided to build a board my idea was Boss pedals. Older used modded Boss pedals. Ended up with about 10 of them. Didn't like what I heard. Got a couple other used modded pedals. A older Butler Tube driver that's been modded with a bias knob. A MXR 10 band E Q that's silent modded. And 1 of the 1st pedals I bought as a keeper ,a Dime wah. The EQ is the KFK signature. Didn't spend big money on parts that didn't need more than they are. $20 used mini tuner. I did get a Meat and 3 modded Soul food used $83. But in the end used some cheaper brand replacement pedals for a better sound and space. Now my board has been done for over 2 yrs and ain't looking for any "magic" noisy thing to improve this board. It's good enough now so I got to be a better player to make spending the money I did on guitars amps and pboard worth it. At this point equipment is above average and I need to get myself to the same level.
I bought a JHS Bonsai and enjoyed it, amazing pedal but I found I actually preferred the boosted sound of the 20$ amazon "Tube overdrive" pedal I had bought previously...
That is funny.
I’ve missed the wave on so many pedals. I’ve sold a 1st gen Bad Monkey, Space Station, and a Buzz Box… all before they went through the roof.
If only Josh would have made a video about them fifteen years ago ...
Your solo at the end of the video was amazing. That is all.
I got an EQD Grey Channel for $140 brand new (discounted) because it wasn’t terribly popular and then was discontinued. Used prices stayed right around there for years. JHS casually mentioned it and the fact that it was discontinued and people were asking $400-$600 the same day. It maybe lasted 2 weeks then mellowed out to somewhere near the original pricing again.
The only difference here is people are expecting it now and I think more sellers are trying to get in on the action.
I support your venture Josh. I own 3 JHS pedals. Love them all.
Damn I have one but I can't find it .....!!!!! Just found the original box but not the pedal ........; need to find it and put it on Reverb ..........!!!!!😄
I absolutely love Josh's Midwestern ultra-dry humor! Let the haters hate. He's a pedal freak like all of us. And I love seeing the controversy his video created. He made a very valid(and super funny) point. Some people didn't get it. I just sit here with my popcorn watching.
I did notice your Bad Monkey on reverb for $12k+. Good one! 😂
JHS now selling you a limited edition t shirt for what you could have bought a B-Monk for. Brilliantly played.
Not only have I been able to escape the hype, but I've been able to avoid the pedal in the 90's. So much so that I've learned about it for the first time through the JHS video!
Congrats on the successful video Josh 😎🎸🎉
📈🚀🐒❤️
I do prefer Boss overdrives but I took a look in my attic and found TWO Bad Monkeys, so I must have liked them at some point.
Josh knows tons about pedals and also knows that it is the Song itself that matters.
I had one and loved it, did not see a big difference between that and other od pedals, but I have always thought the digitech pedals were way underrated, Grunge, Metal Master, and I love all the x series. still don't see the hype with any OD pedal, e.g. klon, dumble, timmy, I just don't see it. I mostly play my SD-1 with my Marshalls.
Josh is 💯 correct!
Just Enjoy playing! If you like and want some new gear, get it! All personal choice! Thanks for this video! Nice to see a Pedal Pawn/JHS collaboration
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Josh has been invaluable at teaching us about the origins and subclasses of pedals. As for his effect on rising prices, he is right to recommend waiting out the hype spikes. Some people sell products for very, very, very ridiculous prices because there are people out there who believe they would not sell it for that price if it were not worth it. Josh never said he would pay 12,000 for a bad monkey. He merely said the pedal has merit, and went under the radar. I appreciate a good effect, but I am a firm believer that if you want to sound better...practice, practice, practice. I am certain the bad monkey is far less important than practicing.
You showed up in my recommendations and I gotta say that outro jam fucking rocked
Thank you so much mate, really appreciate that 🚀🎸
I have a Bad Monkey!
Ain’t selling it until I build a TS clone with a bass knob. Lol 😂
That Bass knob is gold for riffs
I've been using a line 6 dm4 for twenty years. I'm still waiting for that to be a cool pedal
Interesting you're playing a tele in the video, because my observation on the Bad Monkey while owning and using one since 2006 is that the pedal likes teles more than just about any other guitar
What's true though is Josh, as full of knowledge and passionate that he is, shows us/reminds us of a lot of afordable and classical pedals, like boss pedals per example, that we often overlook because of "boutique" and more hyped products being issued in a constant and endless swarm all the time.
The old 3-knob DOD pedals are seriously underrated...so easy to dial in signature sounds with such a simple layout
That whole crew is amazing 👏 love jhs
Great….. now the cost of bananas just rose up 500%…… 😔😁
🤣 if you’re quick.. 💨😂
@@PedalPawn 😂😂
I knew as soon as I saw the video title that this was going to happen. 😂
My 90s blue collar Menatone is still the best OD I've ever heard. Klon killer and they had a silver klon for 575 dollars when I bought it at Blues Angel is how I know.
What a fantastic video have a good weekend
Yeah, that was fun hahah had to sub, all the best mate
Amazing, thanks so much 🚀🎸❤️
Good to hear a shoutout for the humble BD2. I’ve literally never found a better sound to my ear than a blues drive volume 2 o’clock gain 11 o’clock through my ac15. Every gig it is just butter. 🧈 of course, I have my JHS screamer alongside that!
I own a Bad Monkey since 2007, never leaved my pedalboard, it is still my pedal of choice in front of tube amps cranked at the edge of overdrive. Just for compliance, I own Ibanez Tube Screamer as well, Mad Professor pedals, MXRs (love the Distorsion III) and so on.
They will come down after people try the Kernom Ridge, it does nails the klon sound plus you get 128 presets i paid 450 for it and combined to a fuzz, you can leave your fuzz at the same setting but still get some tweekability over its sounds via the RIDGE knobs. Normaly i put fuzz in front of my overdrives but in that case i prefer the other way around! If you are a fuzz lover, it's like having multiple fuzz'S with only one! Oh yeah 4 more then 2 presets you also need a midi switcher.
Josh, I want you to pick a pedal every week and continue the madness with these old forgotten pedals!! Come on man, send the pedal nerds down the black hole of all black holes!!! Keep it goin!!
🤣📈💪🚀
I’ve got one recently and enjoy it! If he could talk it up some more lol il consider selling 🤪
This is comparable to when Josh Homme said that his old peavey practice amp was his secret sause lol
It didn’t cause as much of a price hike, or a frenzy, but Ola Englund did a fantastic video on the Metal Zone, that kinda showed that pedal (when used properly) actually sounded decent as a Metal Distortion.
i had one of these along time ago, why didn’t Josh use a pedal i currently own, i could use the cash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🙌 don’t worry, we all feel the same mate 🐒😝
AHA! I suspected that Josh's video was to hype the new version that's coming out. The coolest thing about this series and the Hardwire series is the great sounding direct output with a cab filter. I got great sounding recordings with my Bad Monkey, going directly into my little Tascam digital recorder. I should have kept it for that reason alone.
Can you get your hands on a boss parametric eq and review it! Please
This is all too funny. Josh loves it! Lol. Great for business. Any publicity is good publicity! More power to em’
Josh is a genius 📈🚀 but more importantly, awesome guy!!
Stack an SD-1 into a Mosky golden horse right into a TSL crunch channel and BAM pure heaven!
Wow, just found this channel. Josh has sold me more pedals than anyone else on this damn UA-cam.
Thanks a lot for watching! Yes Josh is a machine 🔥📈
Hey Chris I got my Texan Twang and Wah Pedal back and they sound GREAT! I made some videos last night with just the Twang and man that thing sounds AWESOME! I hope you can find a second eventually to check them out and hopefully I done justice to what they're capable of. I'm not as good as you and never will be but that Twang makes me sound somewhat competent. LOL!
Hi mate,
That’s so awesome to hear, can’t wait to check these out over the next few days, thanks so much for sharing and I will be sure to comment ❤️
@@PedalPawn Awesome dude. I made some with my Les Paul and some with a Strat and honestly I think I like it even better with my Gibson but the video that got the most "traction" or whatever was the Hey Joe video. I can't recommend the pedal enough to anybody wanting that sweet Hendrix and SRV type tone but also the great old fashioned blues rock tone! Seriously thanks for world class customer service!
Cool 808 tinge to the tone in the closing bit . And you didn't pay vintage 808 prices to get it. Hmm? Btw, is that a Korean Squier top loader Tele ? The offset saddles look like old Korean or that short lived US version from the early 80's (Dan Smith) ? The Strat counterpart had the trem springs under the pick guard if my memory is not too faulty.
I have the bad monkey, tbh it’s not that bad/great pedal but I’m happy with it.
If you never remember anything else remember this, that we are all connected through Josh Scott.
Going to repeat my original reaction to the video. The video showed how much the pedals sound the same but it would be interesting to make a video comparing these pedals and showing where they don't sound the same because that could be the sound people are chasing and the reason they are buying these pedals in the first place.
Cool playing at the end…
When the sf300 was crazy popular, some paid $60 to get it from reverb, and I waited a month for the supply to reup, and bought it for $25 like a human
We at Wawa one banana is like .57 cent I think but at Walmart you can get a whole thing of em for like 1.50 or something
This is too funny. A few years back I cleared the pedal closet out and literally couldn't give away my Bad Monkey.
Loving all the pedal drama.
Brett Kingman did a shootout of these two pedals back in 2009.
While you may be able to get a similar sound out of both pedals, the Klon does something unique with the signal, splitting the clean part off and mixing that in at the end. The Bad Monkey is basically a tube screamer clone. It could be any tubescreamer clone pedal, not JUST a Bad Monkey pedal.
What the video does highlight is there's not as much variation in a distorted signal as we may perceive. Same goes for pickups, amps too. Don't believe all the hype and use your ears.
There are a lot of listings on Reverb for this pedal but the highest price it has actually sold for on Reverb is $206.
Reminds me of the CRT market at the moment
@Syd McCreath correct!
I think Josh mentionned a friend of him saying guitar players are "SUPERSTITIOUS" when it comes to gear in general, I think this is very accurate - this craze is such a good illustration of that :)
Can’t believe this is a thing, but it’s fun to watch the mayhem.
Totally agreed mate 🤣📈🐒
@@PedalPawn the reality is, with the exception of custom synths, all the “sounds” have already been made, nothing is new. Sure it might have a tweak or tune available, but %95 of it has already been done.
Not going to lie, I sold mine on reverb the moment I finished watching the video. I think I paid $39.99 on sale, over a decade ago in the mid 2000s. Still had the original box and paperwork, and it was basically pristine in condition. It sold within 2 or 3 hours for a SILLY price. At the time, a lot of the other listings didn't have the original box and manual shown with it. Now the reverb market is flooded with people asking similar and even higher prices than what mine sold for.
No regrets here. If people are going to be dumb and overpay for a basic circuit overdrive pedal, a pedal that Digitech made BOAT LOADS of, let them. It's a very underrated and often falsely maligned pedal, but there's no way in hell it's worth what I sold it for lol.
What if Josh was actually using a Bad Monkey digital plug-in?
Josh is always great. This Bad Monkey crazyness just reveals how crazy the used market has become: many opportunists are way too greedy and live on the hype. .. Or on an humorous note, Josh is a mad genious and he bought all the second hand stock of bad monkeys and he is making a lot of cash these days 😂
How many more videos on this will you make. I get it.
He needs to do the BBE AM64 next. lol
Josh and his Midas touch will strike again one day don’t worry 😝🙌🐒
BAD MONKEY REISSUE! Yessssss!
Brilliant and hilarious interview #BadMonkeyGate
I remember in a Sweetwater interview Josh said something like no matter what drive he uses, he makes them all sound the same. I sort of realized I do the same thing.
I rebought my bad monkey about 5 years ago for £30 for nostalgic reasons. It was my first overdrive and missed it after selling. It's a killer pedal because it's a tubescreamer with a bass knob. What's not to like?
Eating bananas like a BOSS!!! Hilarious brilliant stuff 🤣👏🔥
Honestly, that cracked me up 🤣💪🍌
nice Chris Buck pick style
I was never mad at Josh when the behringer hype happened. I had been happily using their vibrato and compressor for years. He did turn me on to getting the fuzz though lol
I bought a behringer fuzz based on Josh's recommendation. It's a great use of $25.
