This updated version offers enhanced flexibility with an adjustable carrier signal control, allowing for a wide range of tonal experimentation from subtle modulation to extreme atonal effects. It also features a built-in distortion circuit to further shape your sound.
2. Nga waahanga matua
- Adjustable Carrier Signal: Provides precise control over the ring modulation effect.
- Tukua Tika: Ensures your guitar's tone remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged.
- Lighter Aluminum Chassis: Durable and pedalboard-friendly design.
- Aggressive Distortion Circuit: Integrated distortion for signal mangling.
- Mana Motuhake: Dedicated knobs for Gain, Distortion, Output, Frequency, and Ring.
- Modern 9V DC Power Supply Input: Compatible with standard pedalboard power.
3. Mana me nga Mahi
The DOD Gonkulator features five control knobs and a footswitch for comprehensive sound shaping.

- MAU: Adjusts the input gain for the distortion circuit.
- DIST (Whakapohehe): Controls the amount of distortion applied to the signal.
- PUTANGA: Sets the overall output volume of the pedal.
- FREQ (auau): Adjusts the carrier signal frequency for the ring modulation effect. This knob is crucial for tuning the robotic sounds.
- RINGA: Controls the blend of the dry signal with the ring modulated signal. Turn clockwise for more ring modulation.
- Takawaenga: Toggles the effect on/off. Features true bypass.
4. Tatūnga me nga Hononga
Follow these steps to connect your DOD Gonkulator pedal:
- Tuku Hiko: Connect a standard 9V DC power adapter (center negative) to the PSU jack on the pedal. The pedal also includes a 9V battery.
- Tāuru: Connect your guitar to the "IN" jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Putanga: Honoa te hononga "OUT" i te taha maui o te pētera ki tō amplifier's input (or the next pedal in your signal chain) using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.

5. Operating the Pedal
The DOD Gonkulator combines ring modulation and distortion effects. Experiment with the controls to find your desired sound.
- Whakawaenga Mowhiti:
- Tīmata ki te TANGI knob at a low setting.
- Whakaritea te FREQ knob to sweep through different carrier frequencies, creating various robotic and metallic tones.
- Whakanuia te TANGI knob to blend more of the modulated signal.
- Pororirori:
- Whakamahia te KAUPAPA knob to control the input level into the distortion circuit.
- Whakaritea te DIST knob to set the amount of overdrive/distortion.
- The distortion circuit can be used independently or in conjunction with the ring modulator for unique textures.
- Mana Rōrahi: Whakamahia te PUTANGA knob to match the pedal's volume to your bypassed signal or to provide a boost.

6. Tiaki
- Keep the pedal clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- A ape i te tuku i te hikoi ki te wera nui, te makuku, te ra tika ranei.
- When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply and remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
7. Te Raru
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Kāore he tangi ina pēhia te pētera. | Incorrect connections, dead battery, faulty power supply. | Check all cable connections. Replace the 9V battery or try a different power adapter. Ensure the power adapter meets 9V DC (center negative) specifications. |
| He ngoikore te oro, he hē rānei. | Low battery, incorrect knob settings, faulty cables. | Replace the 9V battery. Adjust GAIN, DIST, and OUTPUT knobs. Test with different instrument cables. |
| Haruru, hamumu ranei. | Ko te porowhita o te whenua, te pokanoa mai i etahi atu hikohiko, te tuku hiko hapa. | Use an isolated power supply. Ensure all cables are properly shielded. Try moving the pedal away from other electronic devices. |
