SolidGoldFX Supa Funk Envelope Bi-Filter Pedal
Additional Photos:
It's no secret that they like to get funky at the Solid Gold FX HQ, as they've already cut their tone teeth on former filter devices, the Funkzilla and Funk-lite. Supa Funk is the distillation of everything that they learned from our previous filter fests, helping us to bring you a pedal that perfectly captures the groovy tones of the past, while filtering out all of yesteryears shortcomings. Hence you get superb dynamic and smooth filter tones, that perfectly follow and embellish every single nuance of your playing. While the blendable second low-pass filter enables you to create filter tones so rich that they will make Jeff Bezos weep.
Housed in a compact and intuitive package, the pedal's 5 knobs and a single toggle lets you determine if you're slinging out subtle low-pass sweeps or shooting sonic lasers.
Depth adjusts the width or peak of the envelope effect, letting you go from shallow waves to super sweeps in seconds flat. Freq sets the center frequency of the filter, where counter-clockwise lets you hone in on those beefy and dubby tones, while clockwise will give you brighter tones that really cut.
Sens adjusts both decay time and sensitivity. Going clockwise allows the envelope to trigger with ease and keeps it open for longer, while counter-clockwise lets you tame the trigger sensitivity and keep the filter decay shorter and snappier. Turning Sens fully counter-clockwise turns off the envelope, to allow you to dial in fixed filter tones with the Frequency knob - great for creating filtered lo-fi tones or classic cocked-wah sounds.
Color blends in the second low-pass filter. Going counter-clockwise will give you brighter and sharper filter tones, while turning that bad boy clockwise will bring out all the chewy growl and girth you could ever want. Finally, the Level pot lets you determine how loud you want the funk (we recommend LOUD), while the Direction toggle lets you get classic forward sweeping filter tones to the left, and shooting futuristic filter rockets to the right.
To complete its all analog funkariffic tonal pallet, the Supa Funk is housed in a beautiful 70s retro themed enclosure with top mounted jacks and soft touch true-bypass switching and is built entirely by a passionate team of gearheads in our Montreal shop. So, plug in and mash that stomp switch if you're ready to get down and boogie... you supply the groove and this little box will bring the funk!

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
