Looks like a cash grab. I haven't heard any clips yet

Looking at the clips, when it is set to sound like the original, it sounds best. And I already have one. Also, the original had a 'mixer out' jack, which essentially was a LPF, and that output going to the amp sounded great. The new one doesn't look like it has that.

Nah...it sounds pretty awesome!

Definitely introduces some cool new features and delivers everything from a subtle boost to basically rock distortion!

Price is pretty much on par with any new basic pedal from Boss, JHS, or the like...

So many bigger/badder Screamers these days. I'm holding out for a Green Rhiono MkIV

What makes the original Bad Monkey (and the Sreamin' Blues, Hot Head and DF-7) so versatile was the Low and High EQ controls. It's a bit of a shame they opted for one tone control, but still a neat redesign.

I still laugh when I think of how Josh of JHS Pedals created Bad-Monkey Derangement Syndrome with a simple shoot-out video.

There is a concentric treble & bass control here.

I din't watch the video so I missed that. In that case, superb redesign!

LOL, it skates and drinks beer.

Digitech had the Hardwire OD which was basically a hotrodded Bad Monkey. Not quite the same as this, tho.

Hardwire series needs brought back. The Tremolo and especially Reverb are epic.

I had the Hardwire cm2 tube overdrive and the rv7 lexicon reverb and they were very good and sturdy, I sold them eons ago and regret it since.
I had the Hardwire delay too, it was nice but the other two were well ahead

I got the delay
