Mantic Gonker

Only 10 available, $300.

Never played a Gonkulator but I've heard bad things. Distortion plus a non-tuneable ring mod? :idk:

If you can give me the whole list of things you have sold, I will never buy any of them.

Really... $300? I get it costs a lot to build pedals as a small builder but it's not that complicated a circuit, nor does it use any particularly hard to find parts... and adding a rate control to the LFO so it could be tuned really wouldn't have been hard.

Had a feeling they were about to release something. Disappointed.

i remember, like 15 years ago, sneering at a lot of those DOD pedals because they were... cheesy and irritating sounding (except for delays? i never met a delay i didn't like), and i hated the switch.

now... a $300 clone.

i fuckin love it.

gonkulator
1. A pretentious piece of equipment that serves no practical purpose, originated from TV show "Hogan's Heroes".

Reminds me of the first time I saw an expensive version of the Green Ringer. Someone might as well do a $150 boutique Grunge now and get it over with.

It is so going to happen. If it happened to the Death Metal, Meatbox, Buzzbox and Gonkulator (more?) it will happen.

But for like $250, not $150.

I know the Vitriol is based off a DOD pedal too, but I don't know what.

So is the Flex their only original circuit? Well I guess they have a reverb and a delay, but neither of them were different/impressive enough for me to think twice about them.

Yeah, those are the three I'm interested in too.

Next time I feel like I need more dirt, I'm probably gonna go for a Vitriol. If I want something extra bonkers and feel like paying for an expensive freakout box, Flex it is.
