I need help in getting a clean but full Nile Rodgers patch.  My cover band covers a lot songs requiring this sound. (Get Lucky, LeFreak, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Madonna, Michael Jackson and etc.  I have tried many times to program but never seem to get there.  Suggestions?

No need to say, you'll have to have a Strat in the 2nd position (neck and middle pickup)

I'd start with one of these sounds and maybe a bit of tweaking:

Bear in mind, try to disable some of the effects (for instance, the last one "wah wah watson" is killer without the wah wah effect :)

Small touch of Chorus is good too, my band cover Get Lucky and Le Freak, also do Notorious by Duran, so I am well qualified in Le Funk! Oh and Move like Jagger

 

Yeah depends Le Freak is neck pickup but Notorious and typical funk is between neck and middle single coil to get the 'pluck' funk sound. But sompressor is a must to accentuate the plectrum pluck that disco and funk have.
