HOW IT WORKS:
Distortion Control:
This control is used to increase or
decrease the distortion output level.
Turn this clockwise to increase the
distortion level.
Gain Control:
This control is used to
increase or decrease the
amount of distortion gain
being applied to the signal.
Turn this clockwise to
increase the amount
of gain.
Frequency Control:
This control is used to adjust
the frequency of the carrier
signal (wave) being applied
to the original input signal.
Output Connector:
Connect this to the input
of your ampli er or to your
other e ects.
Power Supply Connector:
Connect a standard 9V power supply
(optional) to this connector.
Output Level Control:
This control is used to adjust
the overall output level of
your signal (when the e ect
is on). Turn this clockwise to
increase the output level.
Ring Control:
This control is used to adjust
the ring modulation output
level (when the e ect is on).
Turn this clockwise
to increase the ring
modulation level.
Input Connector:
Connect your instrument
or the output of another
e ect pedal to this input
connector.

pedal is on.
Placement of the DOD Gonkulator:
Most guitarists/bassists will favor placing the DOD
Gonkulator toward the beginning of their chain of e ects.
The Gonkulator will react di erently depending upon where
it is placed in the signal chain. Placing the Gonkulator
pre or post distortion or modulation will yield di erent,
but interesting results. Feel free to experiment with the
Gonkulator, that is its whole purpose.

Setup of the DOD Gonkulator:
Start with the controls at 12:00, their midpoint.
Then adjust to taste. If the result is too extreme, then turn
controls down to lower settings.
When using the DOD Gonkulator your input signal is joined
with an oscillator signal known as a carrier wave. When the
signals interact some are cancelled while others become
enhanced. This can produce a wide range of unexpected
results and in some cases produce a stuttering e ect.
All settings will be heavily dependent on the output level
of your instrument, the dynamic range of your playing style
and the results you want from the e ect.
