You may have heard about the internet blowing up over JHS making a video about the Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive and showing how it was just about as good as the KLON and wads of other pricey overdrives. As a result, people are trying to charge upwards of $600 for these cheap digitech pedals that have been out of production for quite some time.

To make it worse, wads of folks have taken to social media to blame JHS pedals and say that its' all his fault for making these types of comparison videos in the first place.

Here is the video in question.


Of course, asking ain't getting and people are only paying a couple hundred bucks in reality.

Here is an article on guitar world about this entire drama.

I have one too.
I bought it back in the 00s.
Very good pedal indeed, and back then I think it cost around 40 euros new.
Digitech was THE brand to have back then hehe

After that JHS vid, they are now worth a couple hundred bux and climbing smile.gif Folks are asking upwards of 600 bux each!! Just goes to show what one video from an "influencer" can do to product prices. I blame myself and a few others for wrecking the prices of cheap rack gear like the vintage ART stuff which was considered utter trash until a few years ago when myself and a few other youtube guys started doing retro gear vids and them bam, this stuff doubles/triples in value.
