זהו פדאל – envelope filter שכל מה שתחבר אליו מצד אחד יצא מהצד השני שמן ופ’אנקי. אין מנוס. הסוכן החשאי יחכה בשקט בשקט ובלחיצת כפתור אחת – המסיבה תתחיל באמת.
סוכן הפ’אנק נותן לבס שלכם הידהוד איכותי למעלה או למטה בכל תו שתיתנו. דבר שיוצר סאונד וואה-וואה אוטומטי עם גוון פאנצ’י ומקפיץ. So let’s get this party started!

Controls
In addition to the high-quality metal bypass switch, the Agent 00Funk Mark II has four knobs and a switch:

- The pitch control determines the filter frequency when the input is silent. You use it to determine the overall pitch of the filter effect. Turning it lower will tend to give you fatter, bassier tones while higher settings will affect only the higher end of your sound.
- The smoothness control determines how quickly the filter sweeps in response to changes in input level. If you set it low, the filter will make large, jerky jumps on each note. This tends to sound squidgy and warbles a little as the filter responds to individual audio cycles. If you set it high, the filter makes smaller, slower movements.
- Adjusting the sweep control changes how wide the filter sweeps are. When you set it low, the filter sweeps over a narrow range and is not very responsive to the dynamics of your playing. When you set it high, the filter sweeps over a wider range and the dynamics of your playing will have a greater affect.
- The squelch control determines how extreme the filtering effect is by adjusting the resonance of the filter. As you turn it higher, the filter has a higher gain at the filter frequency and accentuates those frequencies more, making a “squelchier” sound.
- The switch determines the direction of the filter sweep. In up mode the filter starts low and sweeps up to higher frequencies. This can add a lot of punch to the start of each note as the filter sweeps over the fundamental frequency. In down mode, the filter starts high and sweeps lower, which gives a different type of sound in which the note tends to get swallowed in the middle but returns at the end.
The preproduction photographs on this page show the up/down switch as a push switch. However, the production version will be fitted with a slide switch as shown in the above diagram.
