Effects specialist DOD has reworked and re-released two of its best-loved pedals – the DOD Meatbox bass synth pedal and the Gonkulator.
An update of the original Meatbox from the ‘90s – a bass subharmonic synthesizer and low-end enhancer – the Meatbox can produce a range of sounds from a slight thickening to a full-on, low-end assault. It can be used on bass guitars, extended-range guitars, synths and drum machine.
It can cut frequencies for tone sculpting as to interactive EQ and even produce distortion depending on where the output level is set. It also offers independent Octave, Output Level, subharmonic and Low Frequency Controls.
