ASHDOWN FUNK FACE
Input Sensitivity
The SZ Funk Face pedal is a pure analogue pedal; it consists of a detector circuit that changes the
signal from the bass to a control voltage that is then sent to twin voltage controlled filters. This
effectively means that the filters are sensitive to your playing style and will respond accordingly
with more effect the harder you play.
The sensitivity control has enough range to cope with a variety of basses but occasionally it may
be found that with High output type basses the filters may be overloaded due to excessive input.
A small slide switch has been incorporated in the base of the pedal to allow the input sensitivity to
be reduced to suit instruments with a high output.
Sensitivity Control
This rotary control sets the level of signal passing to the control circuit for the filters and therefore
the overall effect, experimentation will be required to get the exact sound you have in mind,
consistent playing will be required as the filters are touch sensitive.
Real Valve overdrive
The Valve overdrive circuit fitted into the FUNK FACE duplicates the kind of overdrive you would
get from Valve Amplifier and works in exactly the same way as follows The DRIVE GAIN controls
the magnification of the signal from the instrument, at higher settings the Valve will be overdriven
clipping and compressing the sound from the instrument, Higher harmonics and higher
frequencies will be accentuated whilst the lower frequencies will be compressed. Just as in a
valve amplifier this will be accompanied by a drastic increase in volume dependant entirely on the
setting of the gain control. To enable you to match the Overdriven signal level to the clean level
a Drive level control is also provided. In this way it is therefore possible to change from a crystal
clean sound to an overdriven sound of similar level.
The Input Level also has some bearing on this as it sets the starting point from which the overdrive
circuit works so some experimentation with this in conjunction with Drive Gain and Drive Level will
be required to get exactly the results you are looking for.
The OVERDRIVE is foot switchable and the pedal lights up blue when the overdrive is engaged.
When using the footswitch it is advisable and desirable to avoid large increases in volume as
sudden level changes may produce switching noise further down the line.
