Placement of the DOD Gonkulator: Setup of the DOD Gonkulator:
Most guitarists/bassists will favor placing the DOD Start with the controls at 12:00, their midpoint. Gonkulator toward the beginning of their chain of effects. Then adjust to taste. If the result is too extreme, then turn controls down to lower settings. The Gonkulator will react differently depending upon where it is placed in the signal chain. Placing the Gonkulator When using the DOD Gonkulator your input signal is joined pre or post distortion or modulation will yield different, with an oscillator signal known as a carrier wave. When the but interesting results. Feel free to experiment with the signals interact some are cancelled while others become Gonkulator, that is its whole purpose. enhanced. This can produce a wide range of unexpected results and in some cases produce a stuttering effect.
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 effect.
