Soul Food : Good Quality Clone of a Much Sought After Pedal

The EHX Soul Food is a clone of a Klon Centaur, a pedal that goes for ridiculous sums of money nowadays. This is buttons in comparison. It is a nice transparent overdrive which can go from clean boost to light overdrive to moderate distortion. It is a versatile pedal that will suit a professional pedalboard, at a beginner's price.

This pedal can get quite hissy at higher volume, or gain settings, even using an isolated power supply, or its own plug (supplied)

I went from a Tubescreamer circuit pedal to this one and overall I'm pleased with the change. I'm not sure if it's better, or worse, it's just a different sound. I place this after a fuzz in my chain, and with both engaged, it is a fantastic yet controlled sound.

Overall, I would certainly recommend this pedal. For the price it is, you really can't go wrong. It is a sought after circuit, done well, for a good price,in a pedalboard friendly enclosure. I think the EHX Soul Food would make a wonderful first overdrive pedal for anyone looking to start in pedals.
