Handmade in the UK Custom Shop, the Ashdown Stuart Zender Funk Face is a dedicated bass twin dynamic filter pedal that’s fully qualified to produce those distinctive choppy “Virtual Insanity” type bass grooves.

Regarded as one of Britain’s greatest all-time bass players, Stuart Zender is best known for being one of the founding members and the original bass player of the funk band, Jamiroquai.

Funk Up Your Jam

The Funk Face’s simple 3-knob and 2-switch layout makes things simple for the bass player when those funky moments strike.

The Funk Face’s ‘Sensitivity’ rotary control allows the player to shape the exact effects response, whilst the ‘Output’ knob allows you to decide just how much of it you want. Depending on your playing style, attack, and dynamics – by tweaking the Output and Sensitivity controls in unison – you can range from subtle filtering to a fully responsive “Funk Bass in your Face” Auto Wah.

Brand

Ashdown

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Ashdown is represented by Distortion Pedals, Preamp & DI Pedals and Wah & Filter Pedals. Current listings include Studio One Compressor, Type 23 Dynamic and Valve Pre-DI. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modelling, direct rigs and multi-effects. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah and filter pedals move or emphasise a frequency range to create a vocal sweep, resonant peak, cocked-wah tone or envelope-controlled response. A treadle wah is controlled by foot position; an auto-filter follows playing dynamics or a control source. Sweep range, resonance, Q, bias, input loading and bypass all change the feel. Check whether the circuit prefers to see the guitar directly, how it handles bass or synth signals and where it should sit around fuzz, overdrive and modulation.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.
