I've owned a Bad Monkey, and still own a TS10. I really liked the Monkey, but it didn't seem logical to have two pedals that sounded so much alike. My Tube Screamer was making a funny noise for a while, then I sent it to DVM who did the TS808 mod, and the Asym/Sym + gain mod. It sounded good before, but now it sounds great. Still my favorite, and probably always will be.
