Electro-Harmonix EHX Soul Food Transparent Overdrive – Klon-Style Circuit | Boosted Power Rails for Extended Headroom | Selectable True/Buffered Bypass | Power Adapter Included
Description:
Transparent overdrive with great touch and response!
Tone aficionados kept telling 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 EHX Soul Food Transparent Overdrive was cooked up.
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!
The Soul Food delivers everything from a pure clean boost to colored clean boost, mild dirt, and full-on overdrive—all with the transparent, touch-sensitive response that made the original circuit famous. Whether you're pushing your amp into saturation or using it as a standalone overdrive, the Soul Food responds to your picking dynamics with exceptional clarity and warmth.
