@@DerSilvano yes but are the fingers that are playing through it the same? People have to understand that every pedal will sound different not only to every ear but also depending on the person playing it and the amp they are using. If it is the same amp, player, etc., by turning the right knobs I believe that these pedals are close enough to sound close enough you definitely can't tell the difference on KZbin and most of the time in person. No doubt there are people out there that can hear the difference but I'm talking about normal people. J.S. you can only sound as good as you are.

understand this: every amp or OD pedal characteristic is a certain combination of: - compression - EQ - clipping By arranging these in a certain order and quality/intensity you can get everything from a Marshall plexi to a Vox AC30 to every OD and distortion pedal on the planet.

Dear everyone complaining about the price hike, Josh has talked about and praised the bad monkey for awhile now. I remember first hearing it from him in 2021, possibly earlier. You have had ample time and the Josh Scott Stamp if Approval for you to go out and get one. It is a great ts, for me it was between that and an eqd plumes. The allure of switching diodes was too tempting so I now have the latter. Maybe check that out too, they're still being made in Akron for $99.

I CLEARLY hear a monumental shift in the 25.893 / 25.894 hz region. Besides that the Bad Monkey defenitly boosts 27.461 hz, while the klon completely wiped the floor with its pristine 36.281 hz boost. Thanks for this very clear comparison.
