The Funkifier Envelope Filter is a compact envelope filter pedal from Full Mojo Electronics. An envelope filter opens and closes a filter in response to how hard you play, producing the auto-wah and quacking funk tones familiar from 1970s soul and funk records. Pedal of the Day describes the Funkifier as bringing "classic wah sounds and fast note attack to the forefront, drowning your sound in the funkiest tones you've ever heard", and calls it "full-on 70s soul in a compact shell"1.
What it does
The pedal tracks your playing dynamics and sweeps a filter accordingly, so picking harder or softer changes how the effect responds. A lone toggle switch selects between three filter types: High Pass, Mid Pass and Low Pass. High Pass emphasizes treble, Mid Pass sits in the middle of the spectrum, and Low Pass emphasizes bass, giving three distinct flavors of the same dynamic sweep1.
Three knobs shape the response. The Attack (A), Q factor (Q) and Range (R) controls let you set the overall sound: how the filter reacts to your attack, how pronounced the resonant peak is, and how far the filter sweeps1.
How reviewers heard it
Pedal of the Day reviewed the Funkifier in November 2022 and came away favorable, calling it "a bubbly, natural and versatile" envelope filter. The reviewer noted that it is "versatile in control, as well as use with various instruments", meaning it can work beyond guitar, including on bass-friendly settings1.
"We love the sound, feel and vintage tones that come from a great envelope filter, and the Funkifier checks all of these boxes, for sure."
