1. Inngangur
The DigiTech DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator is a unique guitar effect pedal designed to produce clangy, robotic sounds and aggressive distortion. 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. Helstu eiginleikar
- Adjustable Carrier Signal: Provides precise control over the ring modulation effect.
- True Bypass: 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.
- Óháð stýringar: Dedicated knobs for Gain, Distortion, Output, Frequency, and Ring.
- Modern 9V DC Power Supply Input: Compatible with standard pedalboard power.
3. Stjórntæki og aðgerðir
The DOD Gonkulator features five control knobs and a footswitch for comprehensive sound shaping.

- VINNA: Adjusts the input gain for the distortion circuit.
- DIST (röskun): Controls the amount of distortion applied to the signal.
- ÚTKAST: Stillir heildarútgangshljóðstyrk pedalsins.
- FREQ (tíðni): Adjusts the carrier signal frequency for the ring modulation effect. This knob is crucial for tuning the robotic sounds.
- Hringur: Controls the blend of the dry signal with the ring modulated signal. Turn clockwise for more ring modulation.
- Fótrofi: Toggles the effect on/off. Features true bypass.
4. Uppsetning og tengingar
Follow these steps to connect your DOD Gonkulator pedal:
- Aflgjafi: Connect a standard 9V DC power adapter (center negative) to the PSU jack on the pedal. The pedal also includes a 9V battery.
- Inntak: Connect your guitar to the "IN" jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Framleiðsla: Connect the "OUT" jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier's input (or the next pedal in your signal chain) using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.

5. Notkun pedalsins
The DOD Gonkulator combines ring modulation and distortion effects. Experiment with the controls to find your desired sound.
- Ring Modulation:
- Byrjaðu á RING knob at a low setting.
- Stilltu FREQ knob to sweep through different carrier frequencies, creating various robotic and metallic tones.
- Auka RING knob to blend more of the modulated signal.
- Bjögun:
- Notaðu ÁVIÐ knob to control the input level into the distortion circuit.
- Stilltu 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.
- Hljóðstyrkur: Notaðu FRAMLEIÐSLA knob to match the pedal's volume to your bypassed signal or to provide a boost.

6. Viðhald
- Haldið pedalinu hreinu og ryklausu. Notið mjúkan, þurran klút.
- Forðist að láta pedalinn verða fyrir miklum hita, raka eða beinu sólarljósi.
- When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply and remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
7. Bilanagreining
| Vandamál | Möguleg orsök | Lausn |
|---|---|---|
| Ekkert hljóð þegar pedalinn er ýtt á. | 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. |
| Veikt eða brenglað hljóð. | Low battery, incorrect knob settings, faulty cables. | Replace the 9V battery. Adjust GAIN, DIST, and OUTPUT knobs. Test with different instrument cables. |
| Óæskilegur hávaði eða suð. | Jarðlykkja, truflanir frá öðrum rafeindabúnaði, bilaður aflgjafi. | Use an isolated power supply. Ensure all cables are properly shielded. Try moving the pedal away from other electronic devices. |
