NPD: Soul Food

Re: NPD: Soul Food

I just noticed this pedal in a NAMM review last night.. I'm anxious to try one, thanks for the review
Is it similar to an LTD, or OCD?

Not really. I have an OCD clone, and it's an entirely different animal.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

The longer I play my Soul Food, the more I lower the gain and increase the volume.

In other words, the more I use it to push my amp (usually my Princeton, with a Rajin Cajun speaker).

It's an incredibly powerful tool.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

Unfortunately, I almost never get to get the volume above 3.5. I am looking forward to gettimg my Champ back so I can run it at about 8 or so with the Soul Food pushing it even more. Sometime after I get an interface, I plan on doing a proper video demo for this pedal using the Bassman and the Champ.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

You should crank up the Bassman to where it is overdriving o n its own an then kick on the Soul Food. Such a killer tone.

Yes...I think that's one of the failings of most of the YouTube reviews I've watched. They're playing through an amp that's barely turned up or worse: using a master volume amp with the master at half or below. I get the good sound through a blackface Deluxe Reverb Amp turned up to about 4 or more.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

Well I'm on the list. But the last thing I need is another pedal I'll play for 5min and throw in the pile.

Good review!

Re: NPD: Soul Food

Damn! I was so hoping someone was going to say it was bloody awful...

Well stick around...it's only a matter of time.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

I spent about two hours playing with it after I got off of work today. I really dig this pedal.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

Very nice review! I'm looking forward to reading more reviews as more guys get their Soul Food pedals.

So far, everything's been positive except for one comment about a faulty switch.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

but come on... one channel is clean and the other is dirty... you'll always know what channel you're using.

True, but not until you hit that first chord!

And yeah, I know I need sound clips, but the only way I have to record them is a Zoom H1 or my cell phone. After I buy my books for school, I'll be getting an interface, so I'll be able to post clips of all my pedals, amps and guitars.

Re: NPD: Soul Food

If you've ever played a DC-5, you know there's no way to tell what channel it's on without the footswitch plugged in.

well, the version B doesn't have leds to visualize what channel you're plugged in, but come on... one channel is clean and the other is dirty... you'll always know what channel you're using.

anyway, good review of the latest most demanded pedal in the Gear Page, but I still consider that a very good review should include some audio demos.
