The DOD Gonkulator is kind of a limited stomp box ring mod, with a preset
500hz modulating signal, and is a nice sounding transistor fuzzbox as well.
I've heard that they're discontinued, but I see them in stores all the time
still, for about $80. I have one and use it a lot, though it doesn't quite
match what the ring mod in my modular can do.
