How to Use DigiTech Bad Monkey for Vocals

The DigiTech Bad Monkey is a tube overdrive pedal with high and low band equalization knobs that can be used to change the tone of the signal it is overdriving. The Bad Monkey pedal also comes equipped with a second output jack so that it can be run into a mixer. When connected to a mixer, it is possible to use this effect to distort vocals. When wired to the same mixer channel as a microphone, the pedal will function the same as it would plugged into a regular guitar amp and overdrive the microphone input.
