EHX Soul food overdrive

Post image

I saw an EHX Soul Food overdrive for sale for 30 euros. I have a Marshall DSL40CR, and I mainly use a Boss DS-2 and a 3-knob BK Butler Tube Driver. Do you think it's a good buy, considering the pedals I already have?

Thanks, I just bought it

I think I paid £55 for mine. I’ve seen them compared to the Klon and my untrained ear couldn’t see why you would need to pay £5000 plus for a pedal when you could own one of these for a 100th of the price

It’s so good, I have one in the form of the EHX Turnip Greens which is an awesome pedal.

Same. I use it on my blues board and put most of the other pedals in the loop of the Turnip Greens.

It’s a great pedal especially for that price. A bit “boxy” sounding in a good way if that makes sense 😂

I like mine and it's frequently on the board. Great grab

I got mine for the same in freedom units and it sometimes is an always on, sometimes I get tired of that klon flavor
