This was a main staple on my pedalboard until I found a great deal on a Bad Monkey and then sadly it came off

On my little jamming and pracitce board, it's Joyo to a Bad Monkey (another great low-cost pedal)

I'd take this easily over the Boss Super Overdrive, Bad Monkey, Screamin' Blues and many others in its price range.

If you want a more modern or thrashy sound, I think the Digitech Bad monkey does that better

The Bad Monkey is good with solid state amps and the Maxon is nothing short of a let down

Get the joyo if you're thinking Iron Maiden, Saxon, Scorpions, etcGet the bad monkey if you want to do modern metal or get the Ride the Lightening tone.

Started cheap with a Digitech Bad Monkey and then spendy with a Maxon Od808

The DigiTech Bad Monkey is one such example.

I use the Bad Monkey to push the U OD, setting the Monkey's gain very low and the level up to push the volume and clarity of the U OD for solo work.

I think the Bad monkey is better at tightening up high gain amps and playing mid scooped old school metal.

and I wanted something to stack with my Bad Monkey, which would have a little more drive.

Most "Marshall-in-a-box" stomps, imo, sound much tamer than a real Marshall, and they give you a "prettied-up", safer version of that sound, in order to appease the 15-year-old Children Of Boredom/Cannibal Corpse lame-o neo-hippies the scene is now infested with

I bought this overdrive for my brother's H&K Tubemeister 18 which he just hated with a passion because it didn't have enough gain

It IS gain-y.
