The Controversial Price Hike of DigiTech's Bad Monkey Overdrive Pedal
TL;DR Summary
JHS founder Josh Scott listed a set of 11 early aughts, made-in-China DigiTech pedals for $55,841 USD after a video on the DigiTech Bad Monkey overdrive caused a surge in prices. Scott's point was that guitarists should trust their ears over hype and that affordable pedals can be just as good as cost-prohibitive collectibles. He responded to complaints about the price increase by reminding people they had 19 years to buy the pedal.
