Description

The Ashdown Stuart Zender Funk Face VU Pedal is suited to bassists who want a dynamic filter unit designed to respond directly to touch articulation and groove-based playing. Created with Stuart Zender it provides access to the expressive movement associated with his influential work. The pedal operates through a three knob layout that controls Sensitivity Output and Drive supported by two footswitches that activate filtering and valve emulated overdrive. This makes the unit straightforward to set up while still offering refined control over key performance characteristics. The Sensitivity and Output controls adjust how the filter reacts to your playing dynamics allowing you to move from gentle movement to a fully responsive Auto Wah tone. The valve emulated drive circuit can be positioned either before the filter or after it using a side toggle. True bypass switching keeps the clean tone intact when the pedal is off and the Output knob doubles as a clean boost. A compact and durable chassis completes the design supporting regular performance use.
