There are legendary pedals that were born in the 1970s, and the auto wah/auto filter style of pedal was one of the funkiest. At first it was red, later became the very famous green, and later blue (from various companies that we can’t mention due to copyright). Many guitarists and bassists used these pedals as the staple of their funk sound. In particular, many bassists in the USA and UK began to use these pedals to forge new basslines that would resonate around the world. The funk was born, the sounds were legendary, and the people danced.

Animals Pedal feels the funk and brings you the Double Spy Mission is Impossible Filter, an easy-to-use update of the original auto-wah style of sound.

A filter that can follow your playing dynamics and volume is called an envelope filter. Many companies have called this “touch-wah” or “auto-wah”. Many of these pedals can be complicated and difficult to dial in for some players. The Double Spy Mission is Impossible Filter has a very standard control configuration but is easy to use and “set and forget” once you dial it in for your instrument and playing style.

Protip: first adjust the RANGE knob to match the playing dynamics and output of your bass or guitar, and then adjust the range of the sweep with the FILTER knob. It’s easy! The MODE switch will change the direction of the filter from going UP/DOWN to DOWN/UP. That’s all there is to it. Use your ears, use your playing dynamics, and use the volume knob on your instrument.

The Double Spy Mission is Impossible Filter is perfect for the player who is new to autofilter pedals. And it will satisfy the expert funkmaster just as well. Don’t limit this pedal to just guitar or bass – plug a drum machine in or put some loops through it and use the filter sweeps to ring your sounds to new funky heights. The sky is the limit.

Controls

  • RANGE: Adjusts the bandwidth of the filter.
  • FILTER: Adjusts the response of the filter.

envelope filter

An envelope filter reacts to your playing dynamics, opening and closing its sweep based on how hard you pick. Dig in and it quacks, ease off and it softens — delivering that unmistakable funk snap, auto-wah bounce, and touch-sensitive groove that feels alive under your fingers. It’s expressive, rhythmic, and full of character.

Use it to bring movement to clean riffs, add vocal-like sweeps to bass lines, or inject serious funk into your rhythm playing. From subtle shimmer to full-on 70s squelch, an envelope filter turns your picking hand into the control knob.

Filter

A filter pedal shapes your tone by emphasising or cutting specific frequencies, letting you sculpt everything from subtle tonal shifts to bold, sweeping textures. Unlike traditional wah or envelope effects, filters can be static or controlled in different ways, giving you focused control over how bright, dark, sharp, or resonant your sound becomes.

Use a filter to tighten the low end, tame harsh highs, or create synth-like sweeps and rhythmic movement. Whether you’re refining your core tone or pushing into experimental territory, a filter pedal gives you precise control over the flavour of your sound.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

used

Used pedals bring character, value, and often a bit of history to your board. Whether it’s a well-loved classic or a recent release looking for its next home, a used pedal offers the same core tone at a more accessible price. Fully tested and described clearly, it’s a chance to grab great gear without paying brand-new money.

Go used to explore different sounds, track down discontinued favourites, or build your setup more affordably. Sometimes a pedal with a few marks on the casing still delivers flawless tone — and might even have a story or two behind it.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.

Wah

Wah refers to an expressive filter effect that sweeps through a range of frequencies, creating a vocal-like “wah” sound. Controlled in real time with a foot-operated treadle, it allows players to emphasise different parts of the frequency spectrum as they play. Wah pedals are commonly used for lead guitar, funk rhythm work, and expressive solos, responding closely to picking dynamics and foot movement.
