| hi guys! anybody has a digitech screamin' blues? i saw one online and since i won't be able to test it before buying, i'd like to know how it sounds (compared to a boss od). i read good opinions about the bad monkey somewhere in this forum. i'm particularly attracted to the screamin' blues since it has a low and high eq and its labeled overdrive/distortion. many think both pedals seem to piss all over the tubescreamer. thanks. |

I have both, I like the Bad Monkey the most, this really "piss all over" a Tube sceamer, mostly because the very good tone controls.
Screamin� Blues is also very, very good, more clean than the Monkey and quite close to BD-2 soundwise. It�s very trebly just as BD-2, but keeping the high knob down you kan get a serious blues or rock tone. |

| thanks goran! so the screamin' blues is cleaner than the bad monkey? i thought the monkey had lesser gain. in a digitech magazine ad, it had a distortometer which compared the distortion of 4 different digitech pedals and the monkey had 20-60, while the blues had 40-70. since both pedals are that good, isn't it sad they are not BOSS? do you think boss should put low and hi eq on its overdrive and distortion pedals. i think its only the hm-2, -3 and mt-2 which have lo and hi eq, if i'm not mistaken.anyway, thanks again for your help! mabuhay |

I meant that Screamin� blues has less gain at moderate settings, just like BD-2 the gain goes up very much past 12 o clock. Screamin� I s much more transparent.
And, yes, I would love if Boss used low and high controls.

thanks bill4117. i already did and it sounds very good. i even did a side-by-side comparison/listening with the boss od-3 and its difficult to decide between the two since they're almost equal in terms of sound.price-wise, the monkey wins however since i can almost buy two monkeys or a monkey and screaming blues for the price of one od-3. so its also now loyalty to boss or financial realities and more pedals. hmm, the choices that we have to make... |

Of course you have to be loyal to Boss�
No, if you get both Bad Monkey and Screamin Blues for the same money as a OD-3, go for the Digitech pedals. They are both great and useful. That goes for OD-3 too, one of the best od�s Boss ever made.

| thanks goran! i still have about 4 nights before i go to the city and make the big decision. most opinions about the three pedals are really good, so the playing test with my guitar will probably be the deciding factor. |
