Ashdown Funk Face

[rhysyjob]

I recently picked one of these up for just over a 1/3rd of the RRP having always been a bit of a SZ fan from the 90’s.

 

Having looked at comments and reviews from the other Bass forum, I was a bit concerned with the judgement that it was a posh Bassballs with a high price tag. I am admittedly a bit of a Bassballs fan but I’d be lying if I didn’t mention it can be a bit of a bull in China Shop IMO.

 

Anyway back to the Funk Face,  what a superb usable pedal with lots of accessible funk and no loss of bottom end! 
Caution is required not to go mental with the settings, however a bit of restraint and things are really usable.  
 

I even did the Bass run from Number of the Beast with it on! 🤣🤘

I think the main failing with this, and most Ashdown pedals, was the horrendous demos on Youtube. The Stuart Zender demo was really something!

 

I've played quite a few Ashdown pedals and rarely have they sounded as uninspiring as the official demo videos.
