my keeley SD-1 has been an anchor in my rig.

Krankshaft!

Seriously? None - just installing a second switchable master - and hitting its footswitch.

Considering that the Bad Monkey cost $30 and sounds as good as a $120 OD808, then I'll have to give it a vote.

Totally disagree. To me, the Bad Monkey gets mushy fast and has an artificial sounding top end.

I like my Bad Monkey, I think... But more and more I'm really getting annoyed with this upper mid range "accent" that it puts out. "Artificial" is a great way to describe it

Has anyone compared the Keeley SD1 with one of the Xotics?

I've compared my Greazygeo modded SD1 to my BB, but that's not quite the same.

I could go with either my MI Audio Blues Pro or my Fullton OCD as my favorites.

Which one do you prefer?

Depends on the guitar/amp/music style

RC Booster is the most versatile one and always sounds good.

I like the Radial PB-1 a lot, especially with wireless systems.

I also like to use the Fulltone Soul Bender Fuzz as a boost sometimes.

If I could only go with one of these it would be the RC I think.

Depends on the amp and guitar, but right now I am using either a Barber Direct Drive, or a Keeley Modded TS9DX. I wanna check out the Fulltone GT

You also probably tried it on a Marshall and i use them on Boogies. I really only need a boost on the rhythm channel of the MarkIV and i use that channel without the amps EQ so it needs a little boost with some extra bottom end kicked in, so the low end control on the Bad Monkey works out well. OD808 doesn't have enough gain or balls to drive R2. I liked the 808 with some Marshalls though.

Dude, the MI Audio will blow R2 threw the roof if you need some firepower.

BB! (with the Modded SD1 and OD808 in second place)
I could make the crunch channel of my 6505 sound liquidy like a Bogner with the BB

Thanks...I keep hearing that over and over and over and over again. I've got to get one.

Well worth the price, imo.
