DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator Pedal

Description: DOD’s Coveted Ring Mod — Enhanced With ’90s Dirt From raspy mangled tremolos to stunning bell-like chime, the DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator pedal delivers impressive and downright unique sounds with the pedigree to prove it. The original Gonkulator was made for only a brief time in the late ’90s, but its impact is undeniable. Our Sweetwater Product Research Team uncovered audio evidence of numerous alleged and confirmed Gonkulator sightings on beloved studio tracks, including songs by Sonic Youth, Tool, Incubus, and most notably, the absolutely zany theme for the “South Park” TV series, as recorded by Primus. In recent years, it’s appeared on the boards of reigning pedal nerds, including Tera Melos’ Nick Reinhart. Now retooled and reissued, the Gonkulator captures the distinct ring mod’s funky robotic twang with the invaluable bonus of grunge-style distortion and expanded frequency control onboard. Contrary to the original’s limited 500Hz frequency center, the revamped Sweetwater is an Authorized DOD Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator Pedal Ring Modulator/Distortion Pedal with Independent Gain, Distort, Ring Mod, Output, and Freq Controls DOD’s Coveted Ring Mod — Enhanced With ’90s Dirt From raspy mangled tremolos to stunning bell-like chime, the DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator pedal delivers impressive and downright unique sounds with the pedigree to prove it.

Contrary to the original’s limited 500Hz frequency center, the revamped Gonkulator rocks a handy “Freq” knob that lets you tune the pedal to practically any note or key. It’s an invaluable tweak that eliminates the original’s occasional overwhelming dissonance when played in specific keys or frequency ranges — living proof that vintage doesn’t always equal better!Optimized for guitarists, applicable to all! In the past, ring mod effect units were more of a staple of innovative synthesists than guitar stars. But the Gonkulator changed that by equipping it with DOD “grunge” distortion for added clarity. Distortion for clarity — no way, right? But hear us out. Any effect with tremolo-like resonance tends to come with a perceived volume loss ranging from slight to severe, depending on the device. Gigging artists tended to pair ring mods with volume-boosting distortion, so why not combine them? With distortion on tap, the Gonkulator remedies volume loss and readily adapts to different rigs, different stage sizes, and diverse signal chains. It also means one less stompbox you have to hit for massive tone. But if grunge isn’t your thing, fear not. The distortion circuit can be completely turned off and bypassed. However, we highly recommend tinkering with distortion levels and exploring new sounds. Whether for guitar, bass, keys, synth, or even drums, the Gonkulator has a life of its own that transcends genre boundaries. To put it another way, it’s the perfect solution for giving tracks a taste of the weird and the eerie.DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator Pedal Features: Delivers the clangy, robotic sounds of the ’90s original Straightforward Gain, Distort, Ring Mod, Output, and Freq controls Freq control lets you tune the carrier frequency for use with different instruments and keys Aggressive DOD distortion circuit for adding clarity and heft True bypass keeps your tone pure SpecificationDetail Pedal Type Ring Modulator, Distortion Analog/Digital Analog Effects Ring Modulation Inputs 1 x 1/4" Outputs 1 x 1/4" True Bypass Yes Power Source 9V DC power supply required (sold separately) Power Usage 20mA Batteries 1 x 9V Height 2.25" Width 2.63" Depth 4.68" Weight 0.62 lbs.
