DOD is killing it!!!

Great reissues.. I'm hoping for a FX25 envelope filter reboot, true bypass would be a great start. Though none of the "FX" series seems to have been reissued yet.

this Gonkulator was an FX series pedal. The FX13 if I remember correctly. Still, I probably would never find a real use for this pedal on bass. To me ring mods and bass do not mix.

I'm with you. Great fun pedals to have around but i have yet to find a use in the mix. Sitting at home getting all industrial - sure. Turning it on at a show is the best way I have found to get my singer/guitarist to pay attention.

I have the old Gonkulator, that poopie sucks and I love it!
It sounds wacky and robotic in a way that other ring modulators don't deliver. I agree that it's not easy to find a suitable tone to use in "proper" situations, but if you're looking for out-there sounds it's perfect.
The main downside is that the original sucked A LOT of tone even when turned off and that's why it's currently sitting outside of my pedalboard...
