DEMETER
The input stage gain
control. Key to the total
amount of distortion
generated by this pedal.
HERA
Pre-gain stage bass cut.
Turning it clockwise will
reduce the amount of
bass entering the satura-
tion stages. For a thinner
fuzz sound, turn this one
up. For fuller distortion,
turn it down.
POSEIDON
Sets the gain for the
saturation stages.
Turning this up will
increase saturation and
compression.
HADES
Like the name itself
suggests, turning up this
control will have this
pedal plumbing the
depths of the frequency
spectrum. Turn it up to
shake the earth.
HESTIA
A familiar tone control
that sweeps from treble
cut to bass cut with a
deep mid cut in the
middle.
ZEUS
The volume knob that
doubles up as a
clean/dirty blend knob if
the DISGORGE switch is
set to the right.
CLIPPING SWITCHES
There are two switches, with three positions each, between the rows of knobs that
control the kind of clipping for each clip stage. They are switched horizontally.
From left to right, the switches are SYMMETRICAL DIODE - OFF - ASYMMETRICAL
LED. The diode settings will significantly lower the output volume.
WARNING:
Before proceeding with any modifications or opening up the pedal,
please make sure that the power supply is disconnected!
We have left a little bonus in the pedal specifically for
bass players who want to run a clean/dirty rig:
1. Open up the pedal by removing the screws at the
back,
2. Locate the empty header at the top left of the board
3. Connect the extra connector soldered to the output
jack to this header
4. The connector only goes in one way.
5. Using a stereo splitter, insert or Y cable, you will now
get the dirty/blended output on the tip and a slightly
boosted clean through on the ring.
6. Note that the clean through will be muted if the
pedal is bypassed.
Despite the number of knobs and switches, the Godeater follows a very simple signal
path as illustrated below:
