Re: New Monkey

I can't help you on settings, but let me know how it sounds. I am looking for an overdrive pedal to be used as a tube screamer.

i have the fulltone ocd and the mxr distortion III they are both great overdrives! i double them up w/ the drive all the way down and the volume all the way up and its freakin awesome!! but they are also great used by their self!

I have heard great things about the OCD, but the price tag is pretty high. I love MXR stuff and I am sure that is great too. I was thinking about the Zakk Wylde OD from them. It was reasonable at $99.

Re: New Monkey

With the bass and treble at 2:00, it sounds quite close to the tube screamer. The bonus is the extra lows and highs you can dial in. Bass at full gets a little overbearing, but back it off just a little and it sounds awsome.
Also, it works well with the gain turned off as a clean boost. 11:30 on the level, 2:00 for bass and treble, seems to be about unity.

Re: New Monkey

I really like my Visual Sounds Jekyll and Hyde pedal. It is a two channel OD/Distortion pedal. The OD (Jekyll) has the JRC4558 chip in it (which was used in the TS808 tubescreamer and is very nice. The Distortion (Hyde) channel is pretty versatile. You can also use both at once for over the top Distortion w/ easy feedback.
I am not sure on the new V2 version of it, as I have the previous version. It is also a tank.
