DOD Badder Monkey Overdrive

The DOD Badder Monkey Overdrive: Blend, Break, and Bellow

Modern Overdrive Pedal with Vintage Roots

The DOD Badder Monkey takes the beloved overdrive tones of the original Bad Monkey and pushes them into bold new territory. Rather than simply reissue a classic, DOD rebuilt it from the ground up, introducing new tonal possibilities while keeping the gritty, mid-pushed essence that made the original a favorite. With three unique distortion voices and an innovative Barrel control for seamless blending.

Three Voices, Infinite Shades of Drive

At the core of the Badder Monkey is a trio of overdrive circuits: the original “Bad Monkey,” a smoother “Behaved” setting, and a snarling “Badder” voice. The patent-pending 360-degree Barrel control allows players to blend any two circuits together, unlocking hundreds of potential drive textures — from subtle tube-like warmth to wild, harmonically rich saturation. In “Troop” mode, all three circuits are active at once for a thick, full-bodied drive that covers a staggering amount of sonic ground.

Phase Manipulation and Dynamic Control

With the flip of a switch, the Bad circuit can be shifted in or out of phase, adding a layer of interactive tonal shaping that plays directly into the voicing of your amp and guitar. Whether you're blending for midrange punch or crafting scooped harmonic swirls, the result is always musical and responsive. Dual-band EQ (“Grunt” and “Screech”) lets you fine-tune the lows and highs, making this pedal equally comfortable in front of clean combos or screaming stacks.

Built for the Stage and the Board

Durability and convenience meet in the Badder Monkey’s aluminum chassis and reversible StagePlate. Out of the box, the Skid Pad offers stable floor use. Flip it over, and the integrated hook pad locks it to your pedalboard without any added Velcro or adhesives. True bypass ensures your signal stays pristine when the effect is disengaged, while the modern 9V DC input keeps your setup streamlined.

From Classic Chime to Modern Mayhem

The DOD Badder Monkey is the perfect fit for guitarists and bassists alike, from beginners seeking versatile tone to seasoned pros in need of a Swiss Army Knife-style drive. Whether you're chasing vintage amp-like sag or new-school edge, the Badder Monkey is ready to growl, purr, or scream at a moment’s notice.
