Soul Food : Does what it's supposed to...and well.

I use this pedal with a G&L legacy into an Orange AD-30 combo or a Fender Excelsior equipped with an Eminence 1518 Legend. I run the amp on the verge of breakup and push it over the edge with the Soul Food. This gives me a the ability to have nice singing solo sustain and good old-school power chording when the guitar is flat out and distinct cleanish tones when I back the guitar volume off. I pilot my sounds mostly from the guitar, I don't much like having to aim for a pedal when i'm playing, so my pedals ( Soul Food + Digitech Digidelay ) are pretty much on all the time. This combination works well for me. The Soul Food delivers a bit of hiss, no big deal, and it does impart a bit of mid-boost the more you push the drive, again, not a bad thing. I had a Klon once upon a time and I find the Soul Food comparable and the price is a whole lot better. I like a pedal that I can dial in and forget and thae Soul Food does the job.
