[QUOTE="Mattfig, post: 97580, member: 2476"] The Bad Monkey does tone-suck quite a bit when off and left in the chain...That is probably why it's the price it is...I use it in a buffered loop so when it's not being used, it isn't in my signal chain...Tone suck is the downside of the Behringers too...I've done a few true-bypass mods but never on either the Monkey or a Behringer...I've read that the Monkey is hard to do with limited space...The Behringers just aren't worth it to me honestly....If I use them it is also in a buffered loop... The best tube screamers are the ones that are subtle and natural...I can see paying 100+ for a death metal pedal or something that actually has a significant role in your tone...But I just want a little natural breakup to tighten things up and can get that from lots of pedals- the cheap ones can be as good as expensive in this category...Granted build quality is a factor and anyone who has seen or touched a Behringer knows they're as cheap as can be...I don't have to worry about tone sucking so I can experiment safely with cheaper alternatives and have found the results are quite similar in some cases...
