Ashdown SZ-FUNK FACE VU

Get ready to unleash your inner funk with the Ashdown Stuart Zender Funk Face VU, launching in September 2023. Developed in collaboration with bass legend Stuart Zender, renowned for his work with Jamiroquai, this pedal is a dynamic bass twin filter designed to capture the essence of his iconic basslines. With an intuitive 3-knob and 2-switch layout, it’s easy to dial in anything from subtle filtering to a full-blown "Funk Bass in your Face" Auto Wah. The 'Sensitivity' and 'Output' controls allow you to shape the response and intensity based on your playing style, giving you a wide range of tonal possibilities.

Adding to its versatility, the Funk Face features an emulated 'Valve' drive distortion switch for rich harmonic enhancement and a foot-switchable Wah effect. A unique switch allows you to place the valve overdrive either before or after the Wah, giving you even more control over your sound. The pedal also offers genuine true bypass switching to keep your input signal pristine, and the output level can serve as a clean boost when the Wah is off. Power requirements are minimal, with a 9v power supply (45mA draw) ensuring you’re ready to groove, though the power supply is sold separately.
