Exactly. He could have just as easily used a Danelectro Transparent OD, Visual Sound Drivetrain, etc... and gotten very similar results. It just so happens that he picked the Bad Monkey, probably not because it sounds so amazingly close to a Klon but because it was just a super cheap od pedal that doesn't happen to suck.
Either way, both sides are a bunch of dildos.
Human beings will do whatever to make a few shekels.
I think I had a YJM 308 at some point. I wish I still had it.
Should that happen, I will at least take responsibility (unlike Josh Scott) to the fact that my video content could knowingly influence legions of guitarists of the lower possible tier of mental capacity into engaging in truly absurd behavior.

I mean, if anything, this whole debacle doesn't say anything about Josh, but instead says something about how unbelievably stupid guitarists are, and how desperate guitarists are to make a mere dollar. (Because they sure as shit aren't making any dollars off their music that they recorded in their bedrooms or living rooms. Especially if you can hear their spiteful wives hollering at them in the background of a track.
Just to clarify: I didn't say that Josh did anything wrong. Instead, I explicitly said "this whole debacle doesn't say anything about Josh". And I took a shot instead at "how stupid guitarists are", referring to those who are actually indeed spending the absurd amounts of money on a low-tier DigiTech pedal based on one singular YouTube video; and I took a shot at "how desperate guitarists are to make a mere dollar", referring to the opportunistic scalpers who pop up in droves without a moment's hesitation to list items at unreasonably inflated prices through ridiculous actions that are very much interfering with the stability (and the trustworthiness) of the market.
The original Klon is worth thousands because they were made in limited quantities, are no longer made, and have been played by some famous players. So people pay the money not because it sounds better, but because it is scarce and collectible.

The diminishing returns of the former group literally pissing their money away on a cheap, piece of shit pedal valued at $40-$45 at most is going to be hilarious. As I said previously in this thread: "A fool and his money are soon parted."
So it's a status symbol. A virtually meaningless status symbol that lets people feel like they are in the same club as their favorite musicians.
Yawn. Get a Ceriatone Centura and call it a day.
you mean an ehx soul food lol
Every EHX drive pedal has just a bit too much Big Muff DNA in it.
Very much so, was a big thing before JHS blew up in youtube

Gary Moore’s Bad Monkey is now on sale for $12,000 and JHS has debuted BM T-shirts. When will the Bad Monkey bubble burst?
The DigiTech Bad Monkey bubble inflated fast and will burst just as quickly. In the meantime, brace yourself for the meme wave
A Bad Monkey owned by Gary Moore is going for around $12k, and Josh Scott the man himself is making t-shirts to capitalize off of the bubble.
