A tubescreamer. It's got Cult status.
The secret behind the tubescreamer is that it "knows" better than other overdrive pedals how to squeeze the most out of your amp. It can amplify the sound without too much gain, although it has a great overdrive. The El Raton is basically the same but has a higher gain on the overdrive.

Phaser:
Well any old Boss or Ibanez phaser would be quite the funky, everything from 70's from those makers!
Wah-wah:
Hmm depends on what kinda wah you want!
Overdrive:
Way too many, what sounds do you like??

YUP! I had a old 70's MXR Envelope Filter that sounded great! I regret parting with it.:smack: I have a 80's DOD phasor That works well ,And can be had very cheap on evilbay.
auto-wah/envelope filter, I would say

A crappy compressor with a late response is always good for the attack, too. A "good" compressor generally tries to sound like it's not on at all. Good for audio, bad for funky sledgehammer pick attack.

Re: Funk pedals & stompboxes?
+1 to the compressor idea . . . i'd put a compressor above the phaser for funk playing actually. I'd recommend a 595Q Crybaby wah (definately does some great funky sounds), a Boss, Marshall, or MXR compressor, and I'm very fond of the BD-2 for funky light - moderate overdrive. (I think there's someone selling one in the trading post right now too for 40$, so if you're lucky you could get that.) I've only used the Boss PH-3 and I don't think that it's great for funk style phasing.

Vox wah
MXR Phase 90
some sort of envelope filter

A little flanger might be cool too.

Mutron Evelope filter. If you cant buy one, build one.
This site is in Spanish, but search for "Sonidas" and it'll take you to some soundclips of the Mutron build: http://www.pisotones.com/MuTron-III/MuTronIII.htm
+1 on the Orange Squeezer. If you cant buy a used one, they're pretty easy/cheap to build.
As for phase, There's tons of options. you really cant go wrong with a vintage Small Stone, though I'm not sure if they suck tone when bypassed like some vintage pedals do.
As for an OD, I can't comment since I'm not a funk player, but I'd imagine anything from the "tube screamer family" would be fine. SD-1, OD-3, TS-9, TS-7, TS-808, Arion Tubulator, Bad Monkey, Blues Driver are all options / implementations of pretty much the same circuit.

The only difference between the standard 847 and the Clyde McCoy is that the Clyde's mids are centered differently. To my ear, the Clyde's mids are a little lower than the 847.
You can also check out the clips of each of Vox's product page:
