    Default Humphrey bad monkey mod?

    I just bought a barely used Bad Monkey off craigslist for $30. The box had a sticker on it saying it was a "Badder Monkey" from Humphrey mod.

    Does anyone have one of these? Opinions?

    I've never used a stock monkey, so I don't know how it may be different. But so far it is one awesome pedal! Nice smooth overdrive. Loving it!

    Glad to hear you like the pedal. I sure like mine. I know nothing about the mod, so I can't help you there.

    Hmm, this mod seems to be used by a number of guitarists on Harmony Central but is favoured by bass players, probably perfectly good for guitar use. It's not an easy pedal to mod, it uses a lot of SMDs.

    That link is cool. Gives a description of what the seller says it does, but no tech. info. Would be interesting to find out more.

    That's the guy alright. I've had quite a few emails back and forth with him in the last few days. He seems pretty straight up and guarantees his work 100%. He says he has mods for all the Boss pedals as well as TS ones.

    I like his "Badder Monkey" so far!
