Experience the iconic clangy, robotic sounds of the legendary ‘90s DOD Gonkulator with this updated 2015 version. Retaining the cult-favourite circuit design, it offers enhanced control through an adjustable carrier signal, allowing you to shape your modulation from subtle texture to wild, atonal chaos.

The Gonkulator is more than just a ring modulator. It combines an aggressive distortion circuit to further sculpt and mangle your guitar’s tone, delivering a unique two-in-one effect that’s perfect for creative musicians seeking distinctive soundscapes.
