Stuart Zender Funk Face VU - Twin Filter Valve Auto Wah

Prepare to unleash your inner funk maestro with the Ashdown Stuart Zender Funk Face VU – a dynamic duo of filter and distortion that's set to revolutionize your bass tone. Designed in collaboration with renowned bassist Stuart Zender, known for his iconic work with Jamiroquai, this pedal is a veritable treasure trove of funky goodness. At the heart of the Funk Face lies a twin dynamic filter that captures the essence of those unforgettable "Virtual Insanity" basslines. With a simple yet intuitive 3-knob and 2-switch layout, you'll have total control over your tone. The "Sensitivity" knob allows you to shape the pedal's response, while the "Output" dial lets you dial in the perfect balance of filtered and unfiltered signals. Tweak these controls, and you'll seamlessly transition from subtle, envelope-controlled filtering to a full-blown, in-your-face Auto Wah – all based on your playing dynamics. But the Funk Face doesn't stop there. Engage the emulated "Valve" drive switch, and watch as harmonics bloom and your bass tone takes on a deliciously gritty edge. And the best part? You can choose whether the valve overdrive comes before or after the Wah, giving you even more tonal flexibility. Genuine true bypass switching ensures your pristine input signal remains untouched when the pedal is disengaged, while the Output level control doubles as a clean boost, helping you cut through the mix with authority. Whether you're laying down the foundation for a funky groove or unleashing your inner Zender, the Ashdown Stuart Zender Funk Face VU is a must-have for any bass player seeking to inject some serious funk into their sound.
