- DOBITE: Adjusts the input gain for the distortion circuit.
- DIST (Distortion): Controls the amount of distortion applied to the signal.
- IZHOD: Nastavi skupno izhodno glasnost pedala.
- FREQ (frekvenca): Adjusts the carrier signal frequency for the ring modulation effect. This knob is crucial for tuning the robotic sounds.
- OBROČ: Controls the blend of the dry signal with the ring modulated signal. Turn clockwise for more ring modulation.
- Nožno stikalo: Toggles the effect on/off. Features true bypass.
4. Nastavitev in povezave
Follow these steps to connect your DOD Gonkulator pedal:
- Napajanje: Connect a standard 9V DC power adapter (center negative) to the PSU jack on the pedal. The pedal also includes a 9V battery.

5. Upravljanje pedala
The DOD Gonkulator combines ring modulation and distortion effects. Experiment with the controls to find your desired sound.
- Ring Modulation:
- Začnite z PRSTAN knob at a low setting.
- Prilagodite FREKV knob to sweep through different carrier frequencies, creating various robotic and metallic tones.
- Povečajte PRSTAN knob to blend more of the modulated signal.
- Popačenje:
- Uporabite DOBITEK knob to control the input level into the distortion circuit.
- Prilagodite 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.
- Nadzor glasnosti: Uporabite IZHOD knob to match the pedal's volume to your bypassed signal or to provide a boost.

6. Vzdrževanje
- Keep the pedal clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- Pedala ne izpostavljajte ekstremnim temperaturam, vlagi ali neposredni sončni svetlobi.
- When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply and remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
7. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Pri pritisku na pedal ni zvoka. | 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. |
| Šibek ali popačen zvok. | Low battery, incorrect knob settings, faulty cables. | Replace the 9V battery. Adjust GAIN, DIST, and OUTPUT knobs. Test with different instrument cables. |
| Neželen hrup ali brenčanje. | Ground loop, interference from other electronics, faulty power supply. | Use an isolated power supply. Ensure all cables are properly shielded. Try moving the pedal away from other electronic devices. |
