Soul Food : Soul Food for your guitar

12 years ago

I own the EXH Soul Food for 3 months now and so I decided to do a little "review".

Much is already written about being a "ripoff" or a clone of the Original Klon Centaur. I've never played one before so I'm not going into this topic. Let's just say that the circuit seems to be really close to the "KTR"

But I wasn't searching vor KTR-Clone. I just wanted a Pedal to "enchant" my overall tone and I can tell you: The EXH Soul Food does that job really great and it works as my "allways ON Pedal"

I mostly play Blues(Rock) witch my Gibson R8 into a Egnater Tweaker 15 Set at the Edge of Breakup. The SF is Set:

Volume: 12:30

Drive: 8:30

Treble: 12:30

The SF really fattens the Sound, makes it more round and just "better", really hard to tell. I used a Xotic EP-Booster for this purpose before and the Soul Food just works great as well.

It also makes me use my Volume-Knobs on my Guitar more often because they are just so much more usable with the SF. With these Settings, I can get from soft clean to sreaming rock just with the Volume-Knobs.

+ great infront of a clean or dirty amp

+ super Clean boost but not as neutral as other (e.g. XOTIC EP Booster)

+ Great Tone-Enchanter

+ Works at home and live

+ great for stacking with other pedals

- Gain only usable till 11:00 (for me)

This this is definetly a keeper and you should totally check this thing out, especially fo this price
