DOD Badder Monkey™ Multi-Circuit Overdrive with StagePlate™

The classic Bad Monkey tone is back—now with three overdrive circuits, a powerful blend control, and smarter stage-ready features. The Badder Monkey™ takes everything players loved about the original and expands it into a flexible, modern drive machine.

The pedal delivers everything from light, warm breakup to thick, saturated rock tones.

• Behaved: Smooth, clean-ish drive with great touch response.
• Bad (Original): Mid-forward, classic Bad Monkey grit—tight and punchy.
• Badder: Hotter, heavier, more aggressive gain for modern rock textures.

Blend any two circuits with the 360° Barrel™ control, or flip the toggle into Troop Mode to run all three at once for a fuller, more complex overdrive sound. In-phase/out-of-phase options add even more tonal shaping.

Players who love stackable, amp-like overdrives—think blues-rock tones in the vein of SRV or modern, articulate push similar to John Mayer’s live rigs—will feel right at home.

The reversible StagePlate™ lets you choose between a skid-resistant bottom or a hook-side pedalboard-ready surface.
