The DOD Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

DOD could’ve easily reissued the Digitech Bad Monkey and sold a barrel-load. Instead, they decided to make the cult classic pedal even more a-peel-ing! The DOD Badder Monkey keeps the beloved original circuit and adds two more: Behaved for smooth drive, and Badder for full-on grit. Blend them in parallel with the innovative Barrel control, or hit Troop mode to unleash all three at once. Want fuzz-like chaos? Flip the phase toggle for wild, out-of-phase textures. This isn’t just a remake — it’s an evolution!

You also get a reversible StagePlate with a pre-attached hook-and loop pad for easy pedalboard setup. Plus, “Cage-Free” extras like stickers, picks, a barrel keychain/pick holder and a Bad Monkey Brewery label.

Barrel (blend) control

The Barrel knob lets you mix any two of the three parallel overdrive circuits — Behaved, Bad and Badder — for endless tonal possibilities. Want creamy drive with a touch of grit? Blend Behaved and Bad. Need some monkey mayhem? Try Bad and Badder. You can even pair Behaved with Badder for a unique twist. This control features stop positions at Behaved, Bad and Badder, so you can easily lock in a single circuit for its pure tone whenever you want.

Mode toggle switch

Shape your sound further with three distinct phase modes:

  • Up (+): The Bad circuit runs in phase with Behaved and Badder when blended via the Barrel control — perfect for tight, harmonically rich tones.
  • Centre (Troop): All three circuits unite in full-phase harmony for massive distortion. In this mode, the Barrel control is bypassed for an all-in, no-compromise wall of sound.
  • Down (–): The Bad circuit flips out of phase with Behaved and Badder, creating phase cancellation for unique textures. Dial this in for experimental, fuzz-like tones.

StagePlate: It’s flippin’ cool!

The DOD Badder Monkey comes with a clever reversible StagePlate, giving you two mounting options in one:

  • Skid pad side: Ships with the rubber skid pad facing out for rock-solid grip on any surface.
  • Hook side: Flip the StagePlate to reveal the pre-installed hook pad, ready to lock onto pedalboard loop material for a secure setup.

Switching sides is simple. Just remove the four screws, flip the plate and reinstall.

Key Features

  • Three drive circuits in one: Why settle for one flavour when you can have three? From smooth and polite to downright filthy, these circuits give you everything from subtle drive to full-on distortion.
  • Barrel control: Choose a single circuit or mix two together for hundreds of unique combinations. It’s like having a custom overdrive lab at your feet.
  • Mode toggle switch: Flip the switch and go bananas with phase modes for even more tonal madness. Go in-phase for classic punch or out-of-phase for fuzzed-out textures.
  • Bananas knob: Whether you want a gentle push or screaming distortion, this knob controls the intensity of your gain.
  • Curiosity control: Sets your output level, perfect for balancing your tone when stacking with other pedals or cutting through the mix with loads of volume.
  • Set your “Mood”: Your global EQ in one knob. Dial in low-end grunt or high-end screech to suit any rig or genre. It’s simple, powerful and seriously fun.
  • Reversible StagePlate: Use the skid pad for grip on any surface, or flip to the hook side for instant pedalboard attachment. No extra parts, no hassle — just clever design.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
