Funk Pedalboard
When it comes to playing funk, the importance of a compressor cannot be overstated! You’ll want some gain for busting out those groovy solos and a flanger is a great option for adding some sweeping motion to your rhythmic passages.
- Strymon Compadre Dual Compressor and Boost – The Compadre features two different compression modes – Studio is based on rack mounted, studio style compressors and Squeeze is based on traditional stompbox compressors for a “chewier” tone. The Compadre also has a built in clean and dirty boost for lifting your solos, so two birds, one stone!
- Behringer EQ700 7-Band Equaliser – An EQ pedal can be really useful for shaping your tone beyond the capabilities of your amp. The Behringer EQ700 allows you to fine tune your tone by cutting or boosting specific frequencies, for a bright, articulate funk tone.
- ThorpyFX Camouflage Flanger – Flangers can be used to great effect when playing funk by adding a “whooshing” aeroplane like motion to your parts. The Camouflage is easy to use with controls for harmonics, manual, treble, blend, rate and depth so you can tweak and tailor your sound to your exact liking.
- Fender Santa Ana Overdrive – Aside from literally having the word “Santa” in the name, the Santa Ana delivers authentic tube-like tones which can be used to lift your funky solos above the mix.
