The Phonkify Envelope-Wah-Octaver by Tsakalis AudioWorks - The Shakedown Sound Series

In this episode, we check out the Phonkify by Tsakalis AudioWorks. In their efforts to revive the awesomeness of Funk and Soul music from the 60’s & 70’s, and the gear used during this era, Tsakalis came up with the Phonkify! Two modes of juicy envelope filter (Smooth & Nasty) which turns into wah at the minimum ‘sensitivity’ setting, combined with a unique octave up and/or down effect. You can also choose the order of the effects in your signal chain creating a totally different vibe! The Phonkify features an expression jack, letting you control the frequency range of the envelope and wah effects while you are too busy being super funky on stage! There is also a dedicated foot-switch for the octave effect. Pair all this with some satin bell-bottoms and you are good to go!
