Battery
Your A gent 0 0Funk Mark I I oper ates f rom a single 9V
battery. We recommend you use a long-life alkaline type.
Since the Agent 00Funk Mark II draws power while the input
plug is connected, you should remove the input plug when not
in use to prolong battery life.
Replace your battery if the LED does not light brightly or if the
output distorts easily. You may also find you need to turn up
the pitch control a little as your battery runs out.
To install a battery:
Attach the battery clip to the battery.
3
Insert the battery into
the drawer with the
battery clip inside the
unit as shown.
4
Slide the battery drawer out.
2
Loosen the battery drawer thumbscrew.
1
Push the back end of the
battery down until it clips
snugly into the drawer as
shown.
5
Slide the battery drawer in.
6
Tighten the battery drawer thumbscrew.

External power supply
You can also run your Agent 00Funk Mark II from an external
plugpack or other voltage source plugged into the 2.1mm tipnegative 9vdc socket. A 9V DC regulated supply is required
but almost any current rating will do since it draws less than
50 mA. While a plug is inserted into the 9vdc socket the
battery, if installed, is disconnected. To prevent damage to
your pedal, please ensure you have the voltage and polarity
correct before plugging in an external power supply.
Connections
To use your Agent 00Funk Mark II by itself, connect a lead
from your instrument to the input socket, and a lead from the
output socket to your amplifier. However, when you have
other effects before the Agent 00Funk Mark II in the signal
chain, es pecially fuzz or dis tortion , you shoul d use the
envelope input for squelchier results.
The Chunk Sys tems Brown Do g gated bass fu zz pedal
operates with the Agent 00Funk Mark II to create some
crazy synth tones. It has an envelope output and is best
connected to the Agent 00Funk Mark II as shown:
You can also use a split ter cable as sho wn to us e the
envelope input with other pedals. This is equivalent to the
effects loop found on some other envelope filters.

Controls
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 swee ps lower, which
gives a different type of sound in which the
note tends to get swallowed in the middle but
returns at the end.
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Agent 00Funk Mark II.
Prepare to unleash some funky squelching fatness.
The Agent 00Funk Mark II is an envelope filter, also known as
an auto wah. It has a resonant two pole lowpass filter which
moves up or down in frequency with the dynamics of your
playing to produce a wide range of punchy squelching funky
tones. Envelope filters are most often used with electric
bass, but can be used with other instruments as well.
Your Agent 00Funk Mark II can be used stand-alone or in
conjunction with a Chunk Systems Brown Dog gated bass
fuzz pedal to create some excellent synth-bass effects. See
our website at www.chunksystems.com for sound samples.
To give you the best quality sound available, the Agent 00Funk
Mark II is analogue throughout and features a true bypass
connection so that your instrument is connected directly to
your amplifier when the effect is switched off. Your Agent
00Funk Mark II has been lovingly manufactured in Australia
using only the highest quality components.
The pitch contr ol determi nes 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 sm oothness contr ol det ermines how
quickly the filte r swee ps in r esponse to
changes in input level. If you set it low, the
filter will make large , jerky jumps on each
note. This tends to s ound squidgy a nd
warbles a little as the filter respon ds to
individual audio cycles. If you set it high, the
filter makes smaller, slower movements. You
may find that after changing the smoothness
control yo u need to re adjust th e sweep
control to compensate.
Adjusting the sweep control changes ho w
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 squelc h control dete rmine s how
extreme the filtering effect is by adjusting the
resonance of the filter. As you turn it higher,
the filter has a high er gain at the filter
fre que ncy and acc entu ates th ose
frequenc ies mo re, mak ing a " squelch ier"
sound.
Classic
Turn all controls
straight up and get
your star glasses on for
that classic envelope
filter sound.
Superfreak
Add a little more
squelch and turn down
the pitch to get
superfreaky.
Smooth Criminal
Turn up the
smoothness and the
squelch and you've
been touched by a
smooth criminal.
Robogunner
Turn down the
smoothness, turn up
the squelch and run;
this sucker's out of
control.
Spacegulp
Switch to down mode,
turn up the pitch and
turn down the sweep.
Watch out - its hungry.
