##### Badder Monkey

## The Origin

Featuring widely acclaimed original “Bad Monkey” circuit

## The Evolution

Patent-pending 360-degree rotating Barrel Control selects Behaved, Bad, Badder Circuits. Blend any 2 of the 3 to get hundreds of different mixture combinations. Or combine all 3 in Troop Mode!

## Reversible StagePlate™

The Badder Monkey’s reversible StagePlate™ lets you quickly switch between a grippy skid pad and a hook surface for pedalboard mounting, giving you maximum stability and convenience.

## Product Highlights

### A SIP OF INSPIRATION  
What started as a group of DOD employees brewing homemade beer under the playful name “Bad Monkey Brewery” eventually inspired the original Bad Monkey pedal—and now its modern successor, the Badder Monkey.

### BARREL (BLEND) CONTROL  
This patent-pending 360 Degree control lets you choose between the Behaved, Bad, and Badder circuits. Or dial in a combo of 2 circuits to find your perfect tone.

### STAGEPLATE™  
The patent-pending 2-sided StagePlate™ ships with the rubber skid-pad side exposed for stable grip, and can be flipped to the hook side (Velcro©) for pedalboard mounting by removing and reinstalling the four screws—giving you reliable flexibility in any setup.

### BANANAS (GAIN) CONTROL  
Sets the overdrive gain level, adding progressively more distortion and harmonic complexity until your sound quite literally goes “bananas.”

### CURIOSITY (LEVEL) CONTROL  
Controls the overall output level of the pedal, giving your tone the presence it needs—just like a curious monkey that can’t help stepping forward.

### MOOD (EQ) CONTROL  
GRUNT (Low EQ) controls the level of the low-frequency equalizer band while SCREECH (Mid/High EQ) controls the level of the mid/high-frequency equalizer band.

### BLEND MODE TOGGLE SWITCH  
1. UP: The Bad overdrive circuit is in phase with the Behaved and Badder circuits when mixed by the BARREL control.  
2. CENTER: Combines all three circuits (Behaved, Bad, and Badder) into one blended parallel distortion. NOTE: BARREL control will have no adjustment control when in TROOP mode.  
3. DOWN: The Bad overdrive circuit is out of phase with the Behaved and Badder circuits when mixed by the BARREL control. This out-of-phase mode induces phase cancellation of various frequencies, resulting in additional tonal variety in the blended overdrive sounds.

### FOOTSWITCH & LED INDICATOR  
This True Bypass footswitch turns the overdrive on or off. LED is lit when pedal is active. Color Indicates Toggle position: Up (Blue), Center (Green), Down (Teal).

### THE BADDER MONKEY COLLECTION  
More than just a pedal—it comes with essential collectible accessories, including stickers, guitar picks, the Bad Monkey Brewery beer bottle label, owner's manual, and a plastic Barrel of Monkeys keychain. Rock out with the ultimate swag pack.

**SKU**: DOD-BADDERMONKEY

**DESCRIPTION**
Though the re-release of a Bad Monkey has been loudly demanded by fans across the world, and fans would have been sufficiently satisfied by a simple reissue, the Badder Monkey™ is far more than that. The world has never seen an overdrive like the Badder Monkey™!

It not only includes a faithful reproduction of the original circuit and sound but far exceeds its predecessor in features and versatility. From its three completely independent Behaved™, Bad™, and Badder™ overdrive circuits giving you three pedals in one, to its unique parallel blending enabled by the patent-pending Barrel Control™, further enhanced by optional out-of-phase combinations, to the all-three-in-parallel Troop™ mode, the Badder Monkey™ represents unheard-of variability in an affordable compact overdrive pedal!
