Actually i've tried the Bad Monkey and other Digitech pedals and didn't liked them...that's all...just joking around...

i had a rat for years.
it was a good pedal.
very specific kind of GRIND in it, and marries up with only certain amps ( i used it thru my boogie mark2b with nice success )

the BARBER stuff....



the LTD:
The LTD SR has a nearly flat response when the tone control is dead center, even flatter than our Silver LTD, yet the tone control on the SR is very strong for players who need more powerful eq options from their mild sweet toned overdrive. The LTD SR includes internal trim pots for bass and presence to help dial in perfect matching tone to your bypass sound.

the DD Super Sport:
The super Sport lives up to its sonic heritage and adds adjustable midrange so you can dial the sound from "flat eq" to "thick mids", the new note shape control, allows you to adjust how much bass goes through the overdrive circuit, now you can get a tight focused sound, or a big round vintage "cough" when you lay into the next power chord or wildly shaking 12th fret g string stab! The Super Sport is everything players have been asking Barber for in a medium high gain, british flavored B-Custom overdrive pedal.

that's the one i use, a brilliant pedal:

mine is a "Katrina Relief" pedal, i bought when david barber was donating funds to a katrina relief fund.
it was a limited run, but the guts are the same, just the box is different.

Nobels ODR-S. Best and most flexible OD I've ever used, the 3 band EQ is a godsend. Enough level to use as a clean booster with added EQ tweakability.

The PCB mounted jacks and power connection were ultimately it's undoing though.
