    The guy who builds most of my pedals has modded a few Bad Monkeys for bass and they sound awesome! :cool:

    I have one of these, I love it but it can sometimes be a bit noisy and squeally, een with the guitar's volume down.

    Nah, no need to look into it, just plug your guitar in one end and connect the other end to your amp.

    It also as an amp sim built in to connect to a mixer.

    I would say buy one , take the punt and if you don't like it stick it on adverts and you'll sell it no bother but things are moving pretty slow there atm.

    I just noticed a few of the folk on the Harmony Central effects forum takling about them and I tried it out , bought one in Scotland very cheap and it's great. I also have a Tube Screamer (Ts9) and I'd be choosing the Bad Monkey for value for money. The only negative is you have to press down with your foot quite hard to make sure you're hitting the switch, it's like a Boss where you just give it a nice little push down and you're on, or off.... the spring is stronger.
