Bad Monkey is a Good Monkey

**Tim** · January 31st, 2006, 06:24 PM

The Monkey has arrived. It is totally untrained at this moment. I will need to spend lots of time with it to get it to obey my commands. The training manual did not have very impressive instructions, so I will need to experiment with it to gain it’s respect. When it’s bad … it’s very bad, but when it’s good ... it is a very good Monkey.

That pedal is a cinch to work, Tim. Plus, it sounds GREAT! You should have no problems at all getting the hang of it, or dialing in useable tones. I've also heard that eating a banana before adjusting it also helps you to focus on the task at hand. You might want to try that, too.

I thought that the banana was meant to be a reward when it had been a good monkey.
Sour Monkey? Have a lemon!

Hmm.. Sour Monkey.. I would have bought that pedal instantly if there existed one

Librarian Monkey!? That's a good one. I'm chuckling.
Most of these monkey things would make great mixed drink names. Especially Dizzy Monkey. Yee haw!

Yeah I could just sit here and talk about these monkey jokes all night... or not

Transvestite Monkey - Pitch Shifter... Sorry I couldn´t help it, it just slipped out of me... too tired I guess..

If a Transvestite Monkey just "slipped" out of you then you might have more problems than monkey jokes. LOL

OK. I've been listening to all the monkey stuff for a while and I had to find out what the big deal was all about. I FOUND OUT!

I pulled out my monkey and I've been playing with it like a fiend. First I play with it one way, then another, then another. My eyesight is starting to go, but I'm not worried. Jeff Healey and Ray Charles seemed to have done alright. I CAN'T QUIT PLAYING WITH MY MONKEY! It's really fun. It's really noisey right now playing with my monkey. It makes me scream and wail. Oh how I love playing with my monkey. I haven't had this much fun since puberty.

Thank you guys for turning me onto playing with my monkey, but what does it have to do with the "pedal" thread?

Spud, the humor quality assurance section of my brain is underpowered when I am tired.

Count me in with the Bad Monkey club. I just bought one from GC last week and it's replaced the TS-10 and Turbo Rat I had on my #2 pedalboard.

*dies laughing* The people in the hallway think I'm nuts laughing out loud I think....

Ever hear of “pedaling” your monkey? Beside I stomp on my monkey all the time. Sometimes by mistake, other because I want to or need to. But I agree with Spuds. It is fun playing with my monkey while turning this and turning that. But the best part of all this monkey stuff is when the gain gets turned up and the monkey really begin to wail. My wife gets pretty angry when I am monkeying around and making it scream. She normal comes in and tells me to turn my monkey off and play by myself. What do women know about playing with a turned off monkey.

**Tone2TheBone** · March 15th, 2006, 12:05 PM

hahahahahahaha

Tim
Don't they usually start with a turned off Monkey?

**Tim** · March 15th, 2006, 01:13 PM

I don't know! It depends on where they look.

**SuperSwede** · March 15th, 2006, 02:52 PM

Hmm.. I think that you have a monkey on your back.

**Tone2TheBone** · March 15th, 2006, 02:54 PM

As Peter Gabriel used to say..."don't you monkey with the monkey".

That's Ok ! Some one turned his gain up too high. He will tone down.

**tot_Ou_tard** · November 4th, 2006, 06:54 PM

I just bough my first pedal.

A Baaadd Monkey!

I'm amazed at how smooth it is & how easy it works with the Valvetronix amps.

It's made think about getting another pedal. Spud mentioned the Tonebone Classic & I know that Vood has both the Monkey and the Tonebone.

So what are the differences in tone between his Badness & his Boneness (surgery reference intended

)

I am particularly interested in Vood's opinions on how they differ in front of the AD30VT. Which one do you use more often and why.

Later...it's time to go back to the basement & spank the monkey.

...still wondering if Tone will have a monkey to spank when he gets out of the hospital.
