Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.30% — somewhat different

The DOD Gonkulator Ring Modulator reimagines one of the most eccentric pedals from the company's 1990s catalog, originally created by combining their FX69 Grunge distortion circuit with a ring modulator to produce clangy, robotic, metallic tones well outside conventional guitar effects territory. The modern reissue keeps that unhinged character while fixing the original's biggest limitation: the carrier frequency, which was fixed and only adjustable via an internal trimpot never meant for player access, now sits on the outside of the pedal as a dedicated Ring control, letting players sweep from subtly skewed modulation into fully atonal chaos. Independent Gain, Distortion, and Output controls alongside the Frequency and Ring parameters, true bypass switching, and a vintage-style aluminum chassis round out a pedal built as two distinct effects, a Gonk aggressive distortion and a ring modulator, fused into one unpredictable unit.
The Lace NUX Lacerate Mini is a high-gain distortion pedal from the Lace and NUX collaboration, delivering tight, aggressive distortion character suited to modern rock and metal in a compact enclosure. NUX is a Chinese effects manufacturer known for producing effective, affordable effects at accessible price points, and the Lacerate Mini brings high-gain distortion in a space-efficient format.
