Soul Food : This pedal never get's turned off!

11 years ago

I bought this pedal mainly because I needed a 9V power supply (which is included in the price) so I decided for a tiny bit extra I would get a free pedal!

It immediately replaced my Fulltone OCD on my pedalboard for this always-on, transparent touch-sensitive gain stage I wanted. Don't get me wrong, I really love the OCD but for completely different reason. I play a low-output single coils through Blackface-type amps and the Soul Foods just adds the extra mile with rolling of the bass to much (which TS-type drives are intended to do!).

This is not a versatile pedal. It does not sound good with the gain past 1 and it makes a big low thud-sound when I engage it for the first time after I plug it in. And I don't like the new graphics EHX has come up with. I want to go back to that industrial minimalism of old-school EHX pedals...

I really recommend this product! It cost next to nothing and for that Nels Cline-i, Geoff Farina, Lee Ranaldo type of mild touch sensitive lush gain thing.
