Frostwave Funk-A-Duck REVIEWED IN GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE! AUGUST - 2003 The Funk-A-Duck is a highly sophisticated filtering device that has more in common with modular synths than simple stompbox filters. The Duck follows your input signal's dynamics (envelope), and uses that "control signal" to create various effects?from Mu-Tron III-like wahs and inverse wahs, to over-the-top oscillator sweeps. There are knobs for Input Range, Output Level, Envelope (continuously variable between down, neutral, and up), Resonance, Frequency, and Speed (attack/decay). There are also switches for high/low-pass filter settings, and active/true-bypass modes. The unit is powered by a 16-18-volt AC wall-wart. The Duck's controls are highly interactive, and you'll need to spend some time experimenting with them to unleash the pedal's plethora of killer sounds. And be careful, If you push the resonance into self-oscillation you'll get frequencies high enough to deafen dogs, low enough to disintegrate speaker cones, and everything in between. This ain't no plug-n-play pedal! But try patching a distortion pedal before it for some incredibly edgy tones, use it to funk-up anything (especially percussive sounds), or even play it manually like a sweepable tone generator. Because the Funk-A-Duck is sensitive to slight adjustments it's best suited for studio work, but brave souls could make it a secret weapon in their live rigs, as well. Barry Cleveland, Guitar Player Magazine Pros: Extremely versatile. Sounds great. True bypass switching. Cons: Complex.

>> WHAT IS IT ?

The Frostwave Funkaduck is a Envelope controlled Filter.




>> WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?

The Funkaduck is an incredibly versatile and dynamic effect.
The 'Envelope' is volume controlled, so when the signal you put through such as
a guitar strum, drum loop or bassline reaches a certain volume the envelope will flip open and send the signal via the filter (which you can switch between high pass and low pass), cutting off the filter abrubtly when the volume lowers.

This creates an excellent resonant analog "auto wah" effect which sounds as amazing on electronic drum loops, as it does on guitars, basses and keyboards.

>> HOW DOES THE DUCK COMPARE TO THE OTHER ENVELOPE FILTERS OUT THERE..?

The duck can be a little unruly, but once tamed I've found the filter to be much more distinctive then most. I've also used the Electro Harmonix filter envelope and the Lovetone Meatball I found the duck to have a wider range of sounds (ear piercing highs and speaker shattering lows) Kevin Ireland, Kansas USA

Like all Frostwave analog gear the Funkaduck is handbuilt and is designed to give the widest range of sonic possibilities.

Customer Support: 10 out of 10 "Paul Perry is a really nice guy who's always been very responsive to any of the dumb questions I've asked him. He's responded by the next day, which is all I can ask from a person who lives on the other side of the world. I'm not the most technically savvy person by a longshot, and he's helped me to understand a few of the ins and outs of the box. He obviously is very enthusiastic about what he does for a living. In addition, you get a three-year warranty, I believe." Customer Support: 10 out of 10 "Handmade by Frostwave, which is based in melb. Australia. Spoke to the builder via email and he's really cool and friendly." Customer Support: 10 out of 10 I purchased this over the net. It took about two weeks to get it (from Austrailia). I've had it a couple weeks. These people are way cool. Professional yet unpretentious (a hint of tannin and a strong bouquet). ROCK and ROLE DUDES! Customer Support: 9 out of 10 " They send me offers for other equipment and keep in touch with me. I've emailed them twice and they responded pretty quickly. One was a question about the order and they informed me up immediately. the other was a thanks for telling them how well it works."
