Featuring boosted power rails for extended headroom, selectable true or buffered bypass modes, and versatile power options including a 9.6V DC supply and 9V battery, it offers professional-grade tone shaping at an accessible price point. Perfect for guitarists seeking clarity, touch sensitivity, and durability in their pedalboard. ## Description Tone aficionados kept telling ehxs Mike Matthews about a pedal that had achieved a lot of buzz because it was only obtainable at an exorbitant price. That pedal was the Klon Centaur. A believer in bringing great tools to starving musicians, Mike tasked his trusty team to create an affordable alternative, and that is how the soul food was cooked up. The soul food delivers transparent overdrive with great touch and response. Its circuitry features boosted power rails to provide abundant headroom and increased definition. Best of all, you don't have to be a rock star to own one! Features/Specs: transparent overdrive boosted power rails for extended headroom and definition super responsive compact, rugged design selectable true bypass or buffered bypass modes 9. 6Dc-200 power supply included. Also runs on 9 volt battery. Review: EHX SoulFood - The EHX SoulFood is a pedal that suffers from many preconceived notions of what it is or isn't, due in no small part to the very facts of its existence. As stated, it is EHX's take on the Klon Centaur. Those in the know immediately conjure aural notions of what this pedal *should* sound like. Those not in the know (like myself when I first came across this pedal) take to the web to find out what the Klon sounds like. After having used this pedal for quite some time now, I think that both these responses are inaccurate in some ways, and perhaps unfair to the SoulFood itself. This pedal is EHX's interpretation of the Klon. It isn't a duplicate, nor is it a complete redesign. It obviously doesn't use the same components or housing or manufacturing processes, so it is unfair to expect the exact same sound and performance from it So what does it sound like? It sounds like a fantastic pedal that comes at a great price. It is extremely transparent with regards to sound, imparting almost no coloration to the signal (I intentionally do not say "tone" to avoid the ambiguities associated with it). It has an impressive amount of head room that allows for full note expression throughout its entire "Drive" range. The "Treble" adjustment is helpful for dialing in a bright or dark sound, though I often leave it at a neutral setting (or just slightly below neutral to wick away some treble depending on the guitar setup I've got in front of it). It has a full range of boost or cut and is a nice touch to help dial in the exact sound you want from this pedal. The "Vol" adjustment is good for whatever you want to do, either matching unity with the entire chain or boosting the signal to take a walk during solos if that's what you want. I have tested both the buffered and unbuffered signal options (as well as on other pedals) and I can not tell a huge difference between the two, though this is almost certainly due to my personal rig rather than any benefit or flaw of the pedal. As such, I can't speak to the quality or usefulness of this feature. It is worth noting, as with almost any musical instrument, that your mileage may vary greatly depending on your own setup. I use this pedal exclusively with tube amps. I have not tried it with a solid state amp, and I believe that the sound with solid state will be quite different. I would not expect this pedal to make a solid state amp growl like a high gain tube amp, but at the same time it might give some nice overtones and grit that could be exactly what you're after. For the price, it is almost hard to argue against getting this and experimenting with it. It has a lot of potential in many genres and styles of music thanks to its wide Drive range and transparency, and just might be the missing piece to that perfect sound you've been after. Review: A very good and absurdly low cost KC type pedal - IT SOUNDS AS IT SHOULD. Pretty amazing to get this at this price. If you know what a KLON CENTAUR is that you know what this is. They managed to get a very good clone of it at a absurdly low price. For the best video review do a search on Youtube for SOULFOOD pedal and watch the one from proguitarshop. Not only are you not paying a absurdly high price for an original, you are paying no where near another clone or kit would be. It seems well made on a PC board. It is in an unpainted strong metal box box with a decal on top thus reducing production costs. Amazingly it comes with its own power supply for the price. If you look at various ads as on eBay, sellers make it look like they are throwing in the power supply. It comes with the unit in the box. It can also use a regular modern Boss or 1-Spot.(9.6V DC 200ma,center -). It only uses 22ma at 9V DC. You can also use a 9V battery. There is nothing unusual about the power supply. In the manual it indicates 1 yr warranty (but you have to pay $12 US, $15 Canada, Europe and other countries $25). The service center is in Long Island City NY. The company is in NYC. This overdrive is so great I bought a second one as a spare as it really has an addicting quality to it so if one got stolen or lost I want to make sure I have another. Many pros use a KLON, and also a lot of people who afford them have KLONS, now a clone can be in everyone's budget. They sold loads of these. It was so smart of EXH to make these. Buying it from desertcart and being a PRIME member got it to me in two days no charge. I also own many other overdrives like a ZEN clone from CBC Pedals, which is a very well hand made ZEN clone at low cost. Two different overdrives that really cannot be compared. I like them both, as appropriate, based on the guitar and music. In closing, many times we buy effects and find that we have limited use for them or they just don't sound right. For instance, how many times would you use a Uni-vibe? But this effect is the kind you find yourself using more and more, especially if you have a tube amp. I just can't get over how good this thing is and that I could buy one (actually two) at this price. This has had to cut into sales of Boutique and expensive clone makers sales and make a lot of players unhappy they paid so much in the past. Yeah, they have bragging rights, but I prefer the extra cash in my pocket. I have recently obtained a Roland Cube 80GX and let me tell you this is the pedal to get a bluesy tone out of it. It is like it is made for it.

I always like the form factor, size, and simplicity of controls on Electro-Harmonix pedals like this. They use the "standard" 9V power supply and put the jack where it belongs on the back. Also with the quick peeling off of the rubber feet, you are one piece of velcro from sticking this on a pedal board without weird topography on the bottom of the pedal -- it's just flat, with recessed screws -- perfect. I bought this just for the hell of it because it's inexpensive - and I really like it so far. Have only used it on a small amp that needed just a hint more overdrive and it worked great. This could be used for clean boost, or as an overdrive pedal. I've used it in a band setting with just a hint of overdrive for a light plexi crunch tone, or with more drive. Sounds pretty good. I have about 10 different overdrives and I like this one quite a bit, especially for the price. Overdrives are like chili...some have beans, some are all meat, some have different flavors or spices. Most are pretty good and your particular favorite is a subjective choice only you can make. The nice thing about the EH Soulfood is it's cheap so you can give it a try without much cash at risk. Pros: form factor, 9V power supply, nice range of tones, good amount of boost available on tap, reasonable price Cons: can't think of any ## Frequently Bought Together - Electro-Harmonix Soul Food Transparent Overdrive Pedal - MXR Patch Cable 6 in|15 cm - 3 Pack (3PDCP06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1417221-electro-harmonix-soul-food-transparent-overdrive-pedal](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1417221-electro-harmonix-soul-food-transparent-overdrive-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
