UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR YOUR ANIMAL
GODEATER EURORACK MODULE
USER MANUAL
Congratulations!
You are now a proud human to a Godeater Eurorack Module.
Controls marked with * are extended with CV convtrol
While you can get instant gratification by plugging the module and
letting 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
KNOBS
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
conjuction with the INPUT LEVEL
knob to go from mild saturation
to crushing fuzz and beyond.
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.
SWITCHES
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
TONE DIRECTION
Sets the behaviour 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
position turns the CV control
off, useful as a performance
control.
XFADE
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
clean signal.

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 offset.
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
cutoff frequency. HPF knob
acts as offset.
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 the
mix of clean and dirty
signals.
AUDIO I/O CV I/O
TONE CV: Sweeps from bass
to treble or vice-versa using
the TONE DIRECTION
switch. TONE knob must be
set correctly for effective
operation!
1. 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).
CLIP D/CLIP L: Activate
clipping with increasing CV.
Useful for waveshaping.

TIPS & TRICKS
2. The INPUT LEVEL, DRY
and WET knobs can be used
as offsets and negative CVs
applied for ducking effects.
3. If you don’t feel like
distorting things, you can
always use GODEATER as a
clean or coloured VCA using
the DRY VOL CV and WET
VOL CV inputs.
4. The MIX OUT is inverted
compared with the input
signal.
