Electro-Harmonix Soul Food Distortion/Overdrive Pedal

Our Take:

EHX's Soul Food Overdrive was conceptualized in response to growing discontent regarding the legendary Klon Centaur; specifically, that it was absurdly expensive! Thus, Mike Matthews and his team set out to create an equally high-quality overdrive that artists could actually afford. The Soul Food is a transparent overdrive the provides tasty overdrive with boosted power rails so as to maintain tons of headroom and amazing definition. At a sub $100 price, the Soul Food gives way more than it takes!

EHX's Take:

Tone aficionados kept telling EHX’s Mike Matthews about a pedal that had achieved a lot of buzz because it was only obtainable at an exorbitant price. That pedal was the KLON CENTAUR. A believer in bringing great tools to starving musicians, Mike tasked his trusty team to create an affordable alternative, and that is how the SOUL FOOD was cooked up. The SOUL FOOD delivers transparent overdrive with great touch and response. Its circuitry features boosted power rails to provide abundant headroom and increased definition. Best of all, you don’t have to be a rock star to own one!
