It's essentially a better Soul Food; my only concern is that Wampler pedals might be unobtainium in Chile. I sold my second Tumnus to Blille and I still regret it. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another, and I won't make the same mistake twice.

There's a Wampler dealer in Santiago. It's not unobtanium, but expensive as hell!

I think I could do with a Soul Food just fine, thank you.

The one thing about the Soul Food, it works much better stacked. As you turn the gain up it tends to get harsher, so I find much better results by just using it as a dirty boost into another higher gain overdrive or distortion pedal.

If you like the EH Soul Food, maybe try the EH Crayon if you get the chance. I have one and really like it. (Although I use my overdrive's for stacking and boosting, not as standalone drive pedals into a clean channel)

I almost exclusively use the amp’s distortion. But I have a Joyo Ultimate Drive, which is an OCD clone I like. I modified it though; took out the GE diode and changed the value of the drive pot with a resistor to allow lower gain settings. The pedal cost me $20 new!

I have never tried the Soul Food, but I do have an 805 which I like a lot. I also have a Wampler Paisley which I like a lot with single coils, but not as much with humbuckers. I need to mess with it more, but it really seems like it’s more voiced for Strats and Teles.

Until recently I didn't realize the Soul Food was "inspired by" the Klon or that it is marketed as a transparent overdrive. Interesting.

Yeah, apparently, it has some differences from an actual Klon- I am sure someone figured out what they were.

I have 6 or 7 OD pedals but the only one on my board for the last several years is the Wampler Ecstacy (currently named Euphoria IIRC).

Re: Tried a bunch of OD pedals today.

I use an Archer IKON at the front of the pedal chain and gain it up, dial back the treble a lot, I also don't run the pedal at unity -instead with the volume kicked up on the output -in this way my entire chain signal level raises and hit and pushes my VOX AC or Marshall JCM800 input to saturate further for the real overdrive I'm looking for. This trick doesnt work on my Fenders as well but it works beautifully on my amps that like to break up earlier. Also -I find saturating a KLON style boost is better for this approach so you don't battle a bunch of mud.

The Soul Food is for a while on my want list.

How is the SD 805 different from the classic TS-808 / TS9, apart from the 3 knobs tone shaping ? It uses a different chip...

Anyone has tried the Providence Stampede OD ?

From what I can tell the three way eq is the big selling point. I’ve compared mine to my Ibanez TS5 Tube screamer and as far as I can tell, the SD pedal has more range to the gain, I think you get more gain at the high end than the TS, but the three tone EQ is a more useful feature. A better pedal than my TS5 by far.

I know this is the Duncan forum but checkout the Wampler Clarksdale as well. My understanding is the Clarksdale uses the traditional TS style tone control for treble where the 805 turns it into more of a treble filter.

I’ve got a Free the Tone SOV which is the next version of the Stampede. Very nice progression of the TS circuit with more bass, a little less midrange, wider gain range and more boost.

It has more gain range than TS pedals, both on the low end and high end. Of course, you get 3 band *active* EQ, too- and that solves the 'too many mids' & 'missing bass' issues with TS pedals.
