The Electro-Harmonix Soul Food is a transparent overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary Klon Centaur, delivering touch-sensitive drive, rich harmonics, and exceptional clarity. Built to provide everything from subtle boost to gritty overdrive, it preserves the natural character of your guitar while adding warmth and definition. Its affordability and tonal quality have made it one of EHX’s most popular and enduring pedals.
Controls include Volume, Drive, and Treble. The Volume knob provides plenty of headroom and can be used as a clean boost to push your amp, while the Drive control introduces overdrive ranging from mild breakup to more saturated grit. The Treble knob fine-tunes the EQ, allowing you to add brightness or smooth out the high end. Inside the pedal, a switch allows you to choose between true bypass or buffered bypass for flexibility in your signal chain.
Praised for its responsiveness and versatility, the Soul Food is equally effective as a standalone overdrive, a boost to stack with other pedals, or a transparent tone-shaper. Used by players across genres from blues and rock to indie and beyond, it remains a go-to choice for guitarists seeking classic Klon-style tones without the vintage price tag.
