MU-1200 Funky Filter
The JBX MU-1200 Funky Filter is a uniquely versatile pedal that lets you sculpt your guitar tone in delightfully funky ways. At its core, this is a multi-mode filter that provides low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass capabilities - but the JBX team has imbued it with a distinctive personality that sets it apart from your average filter pedal. Twist the Cutoff knob, and you'll hear the MU-1200 sweep through a rich, resonant tone that's perfect for funk, R&B, and even psychedelic rock. But this filter has a few tricks up its sleeve. Engaging the Boost switch adds a touch of harmonically-rich gain, perfect for driving your amp into gritty, saturated territory. And the Resonance control allows you to fine-tune the filter's response, from subtle shaping to intense, squelchy self-oscillation. What really makes the MU-1200 stand out, though, is its LFO-controlled filter sweep. Engaging this mode transforms the pedal into a dynamic, pulsing filter that can create mesmerizing rhythmic effects. You can sync the LFO to your playing using the Sensitivity knob, or let it run free for some mind-bending, envelope-controlled sweeps. The MU-1200's unique sound has been a secret weapon for funk masters like Nile Rodgers and Bootsy Collins, who have used it to add an extra layer of groove and texture to their iconic tones. But this pedal's versatility means it can find a home in any guitarist's arsenal, from the studio to the stage. If you're seeking a filter that can take your sound on a funky, psychedelic journey, the JBX MU-1200 is well worth a closer look.
