    Electro-Harmonix Soul Food Distortion/Fuzz/Overdrive Pedal

    • Best sounding distortion pedal I've heard.
    • BEAUTIFUL, transparent distortion tone
    • This is one of the best distortion units I have ever tried at any price..
    • The soul food has just enough distortion to make things interesting without going crazy
    • This pedal has very warm open distortion which doesn't remove nuances of playing.
    • The distortion sounds wonderfully warm and is not too muddied.
    • One of my favorite overdrive/distortion pedals I've gotten my hands on.
    • My pedal order is a Dunlop Cry Baby, EHX Soul Food, MXR Super Badass Distortion, and a Zoom G21NU guitar processor in my effects loop for the noise gate and modulation effects
    • It may be just a little too tamed for a good blues distortion, or it may be too much, you really gotta find that sweet spot on the drive dial
    • It's a little counter intuitive, but this light, transparent distortion is great for giving an electric violin a smoother, more natural sound
    • To put this in perspective, I have owned a few really great OD/distortion pedals over the years
    • Great distortion pedal for the price.
    • Best transparent distortion pedal in my guitar effects rack
    • I use it as just a very light dirt and its by far one of my favorite distortion
