Digitech Bad Monkey Vs. Digitech Screaming Blues ?

[asc67]

Does anyone have both of these pedals?
I have a Bad Monkey which I love and I've been looking at the Blues screamer and I am wondering if they are different enough to justify getting one .

I'd kinda like to know the difference myself. There are a lot of guys that are really impressed with the Bad Monkey, but I haven't heard much about the Screamin' Blues.

I've got the Bad Monkey and love it as well. I've also tried the Screamin' Blues, but wasn't really impressed. It might be because I have the Boss Blues Driver, so I already have a good "blues" pedal, but the Screamin blues just felt a little cheap. When the gain was up at all it became very fizzy and thin sounding. Thats just my experience though, and I didn't really have a great amount of time to tweak the knobs

Can't go wrong with the Bad Monkey, I have one and am considering buying another. I use it every gig I play and I think it's hands down, one of the best box stock OVERDRIVE not DISTORTION pedals you can buy and it's cheap too!

I did a side-by-side test on 'em and IIRC the Screamin' Blues was pretty similar, just less mid range.

There are some sound samples on their site:

May be of some help.
