UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR YOUR ANIMAL
GODEATER EURORACK MODULE
USER MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now a proud human to a Godeater Eurorack Module.
While you can get instant gratification by plugging the module and letting it
loose, you should know that your Godeater is no ordinary animal. There is
quite a bit going on and many tricks it can do!
CONTROLS
Controls marked with * are extended with CV control
KNOBS
BASS
This adjusts the bass contour of the TONE knob. Turning the knob clockwise
decreases the overall bass emphasis.
TONE
A very musical and improved mid-scoop style tone control. Turn CCW for more
bass, turn CW for more treble.
WET VOL
This knob sets the output volume of the distortion circuit. When the XFADE
switch is turned to the right, this knob is deactivated.
CLEAN
Sets the volume level of the clean signal to the MIX OUT.
INPUT LEVEL
This will increase the overall amount of distortion. Gain range: -23 dB to +23
dB (approx.). Can mute the input if turned down very low.
HPF
Turning this up applies a gentle 6dB high pass filter to the input signal.
Useful for tightening up the low end or other tonal manipulation.
GAIN
A second gain control. Use in conjunction with the INPUT LEVEL knob to go
from mild saturation to crushing fuzz and beyond.
SWITCHES
X FADE
In the left position, the clean knob balances between the distorted and clean
signal regardless of the WET VOL level. In the right position, the knob
balances between the level set for WET VOL and the clean signal.
TONE DIRECTION
Sets the behavior of the TONE CV Input – whether to sweep from bass to treble
(left) or the other way around (right). For correct functioning, the TONE knob
must NOT be
set to full CCW or CW. Middle the position turns the CV control off, useful as
a performance control.
CLIP 1 / CLIP 2
These switches allow you to dial in different types of clipping for the first
and second distorting stage respectively:
LEFT (D): Diode
OFF: None
RIGHT (L): LED
AUDIO I/O
IN: Signal goes in here.
DRY OUT: A buffered 1:1 copy of the input signal, unaffected by all other
controls and inputs.
WET OUT: This output gives you only the distorted signal at FULL volume –
i.e., the
WET VOL control has no effect on it yet.
MIX OUT: This output is a mix of clean and dirty signals.
CV I/O
DRY VOL CV: Controls the amount of clean volume to the MIX OUT. When XFADE is
activated, a rising CV will blend from dirty to clean
INPUT CV: Rising CV increases distortion. INPUT LEVEL knob acts as an offset.
TONE CV: Sweeps from bass to treble or vice-versa using the TONE DIRECTION
switch. The TONE knob must be set correctly for effective operation!
WET VOL CV: Controls the amount of dirty volume to the MIX OUT. When XFADE is
activated, this input is deactivated.
HPF CV: Rising CV increases the cutoff frequency. HPF knob acts as an offset.
CLIP D/CLIP L: Activate clipping with increasing CV. Useful for waveshaping.
TIPS & TRICKS
- The output level of the distorting circuit on a 12V supply is slightly lower than of the input. This is because the MIX output with both CLEAN and WET knobs on full can be almost 1.5x the input signal (tested on a 10V p-p sine wave).
- The INPUT LEVEL, DRY, and WET knobs can be used as offsets and negative CVs applied for ducking effects.
- If you don’t feel like distorting things, you can always use GOD EATER as a clean or colored VCA using the DRY VOL CV and WET VOL CV inputs.
- The MIX OUT is inverted compared with the input signal.
ENVIRONMENT
Do not dispose of any part of this module in household waste.
Electronics must be disposed of safely according to the electronics disposal
norms in your country. This module was constructed using lead-free solder and
observes compliance with the RoHS directive. All parts of our packaging are
designed to use minimal or no plastic. Use the box and the velvet bag to keep
other things safe.
