DOD Badder Monkey Overdrive Pedal - Green

For years, gear heads and tone chasers have been clamoring for its return. Now, the Bad Monkey is back in all its gritty glory—and the folks at DOD have cranked the monkey business up to 11. Far from a simple reissue, the DOD Badder Monkey overdrive pedal pushes the original concept into all new territory. It faithfully preserves the cult-favorite Bad Monkey overdrive circuit and flexible EQ while introducing two brand-new drive voices—Behaved and Badder—dramatically expanding its tonal reach. With the patent-pending 360-degree Barrel control, can blend any two circuits in parallel to create hundreds of unique textures, while a phase-invert toggle and all-overdrives-at-once Troop mode unlock tones no single circuit could achieve. More than a revival, the Badder Monkey is the next evolution of cage-free DOD overdrive. Three Distinct Overdrive Circuits for Massive Tonal Range At its core, the Badder Monkey offers three fully independent overdrive paths: the smooth, mid-focused voice of the original Bad Monkey; the tighter, lower-gain Behaved circuit; and the saturated, high-output Badder mode. Using the 360-degree Barrel control, can blend two circuits in parallel to fine-tune texture, body and saturation—dialing in everything from subtle breakup to thick, harmonically rich rock tones. The toggle switch lets shift the Bad circuit in or out of phase for even more sonic variation, while Troop mode engages all three circuits simultaneously for massive, layered overdrive character. With a flexible Grunt/Screech EQ, triple-gang gain control and true bypass switching, the Badder Monkey puts deep, precise tone shaping at feet. Stage-Ready Features Built for Real-World Use Every detail of the DOD Badder Monkey is designed with working players in mind. The patent-pending reversible StagePlate includes a skid-pad surface on one side and hook-and-loop mounting on the other for instant pedalboard integration. A tri-color LED clearly displays current blend configuration, while standard 9V power (plus optional 9V battery support) ensures compatibility with any modern rig. Lightweight, compact and road-ready, the Badder Monkey delivers unprecedented versatility in an affordable format—bringing players the expanded flexibility that defines the next generation of DOD overdrive.
