I previously posted about the Digitech Bad Monkey and the possible mods that can be done. I have completed the first phase of the mod. I have switched the .049uf C5 Capacitor for one that is rated .1uf. The sonic difference in noticeable, but not everything I was hoping. I plan to strengthen the change by swapping the .1uf cap for one that is .15uf, thus flattening the mid-hump a little more. Also, I want to hear the difference when the bass is strengthened by exchanging it with a higher rated capacitor. The more I work on this pedal the more I want to do. The strength in this pedal rests in the high and low knobs. It is was sets the Bad Monkey apart from the standard Tube Screamer and the clones. So far the changes have breathed a little more life into a pedal that is loved by some and hated by others. Is there a true "fix" for this pedal? Or is it just "perfect for some"?
