I almost gave up on this. I ordered it back in January sometime. She arrived today.
I've only played it with for about 30-min's, but I like it already. A couple things stand out to me. The volume and drive controls truly let you select between clean boost, and over-the-top distortion. But mostly, I love the addition of the treble control. Typically, when I'd use distortion, or fuzz, I'd turn the treble control on the guitar all the way down. A distortion pedal clips the signal. That generates it's own high-freq harmonics. So I'd keep the tone knob on the guitar down, so as not to get that "sizzle". The treble control on the Soul Food allows that to happen post-footswitch. So, you can leave your tone knob high on the guitar, to keep your nice cleans. Then, when you hit the pedal, they're turned down automatically, by virtue of your treble control setting.
Make sense? I love this thang.
I might even post some clips later.
