Sam Ash (800-472-6274) has issued a new guide created to help music enthusiasts find guitar effects specifically designed to help produce funk tones and rhythms.
-- With its new release, Sam Ash details the influence that different guitar accessories and effects can have in pursuit of a distinctive “funk” sound. The renowned national megastore recommends a range of complementing pedal products to help guitarists bring the funk genre’s trademark percussive groove to their music.

Specifically, its guide covers Envelope Filters, Overdrives, and Compressors alongside Phaser, Octave, and Chorus pedals. Sam Ash comprehensively explores each with an initial focus on the melodic sounds they can produce, before listing branded choices known for their distinguished quality.
For example, the resource refers to Envelope Filters (commonly known as the Auto-Wah) as an essential effect for funk guitarists. The resulting frequency sweep directly aligns with the player’s style, notes Sam Ash - whose experts point to the Electro-Harmonix Q-Tron+ Envelope Filter Pedal as a fitting representative.
And according to their document, compression pedals are equally vital.
“A compressor is a must-have when you're laying down intricate funk rhythms or fast note sequences,” says the Sam Ash guide. “By balancing out your volume levels, a compressor can highlight the nuances of your rhythm guitar parts.”
Sam Ash also suggests that those looking to replicate this sound would do well to invest in a quality compressor such as the MXR M102 Dyna Comp Compressor Pedal, with the guide illustrating its accessible functionality and professional-level pack add-ons.
Naming popular songs to correspond with each effect variation is a tactic used throughout the guide, with Sam Ash using successful tracks to help explain target sounds. For instance, its guide holds up Prince’s “Kiss” as an ideal choice that demonstrates exactly how compressors can both dampen and amplify guitar tones.
Meanwhile, Parliament-Funkadelic's "Flash Light” and Nile Rodgers’ “Everybody Dance” are highlighted for their usage of Octave and Chorus pedals, respectively. Sam Ash encourages guitarists to experiment with different combinations of effects as they look to duplicate, delay, and add layers to their sounds - especially given their ability to create truly unique results.
Each featured pedal effect, from Phasers to Overdrives and more, is available to purchase via Sam Ash’s online megastore. Having recently transitioned to a fully digital retail platform, Sam Ash’s team continues its commitment to helping musicians find suitable sound equipment and accessories - now on a far broader scale.
