This man has sold more pedals than any other man in history. More than Hendrix. More than Gilmour. More than any one! And, probably more than everyone else combined. Andy rocks!

[@jordandangelo180]

Definitely not more than Hendrix. Every player since 1967 that ever that has played a fuzz pedal or Univibe or an Octavia is almost entirely because of Hendrix. It started wit him. But yeah no doubt Andy has sold a lot of pedals.

[@cakesodomy4358]

This guy's demos always sell me on gear I'm interested in. I'll always watch like 10 bad demos and talk myself out of buying something then after watching his demo I talk myself back into it and usually end up happy. Maybe due to better amp EQ or recording setup but whatever it is it works. Everything just seems less muddy and clearer on the ProGuitarShopDemos. They have also made me want a Telecaster really bad, so thanks for that. At least I can live inside the cardboard box my amp came in when I cant pay rent due to having spent all my money on gear.

[@roberthanson3789]

i think it's because they use a $1000+ Royer ribbon mic.

[@bipbipletucha]

[@user-lw9py]

I guess it is the reverb they use . which it is and what settings they use can not see . but they use the reverb mono. have mono reverb in addition to stereo reverb is a good way to get into the face sound and clarity.

[@ImTooAbstract]

I am absolutely addicted to the tone starting at 3:57 - I think I’m gonna buy this pedal!

[@AndyDemos]

Yes, the clean boost of a Klone is definitely one of its best features. Thanks for watching!

[@gustavoramos8229]

Same here. I often come back to this video just to hear that part at 3:57.

[@guitargarrett1]

I just got this pedal, its the best overdrive I've ever played in my life. It keeps your signal strong and has a very musical tone.

[@telecomex]

Still smiling all the way through man! Gots me my Soul Food, haves me two Teles and hey, it's 1967 again in my living room. As always, thanks Andy. Kind, end of summer regards, from the west coast of Canada! ss

[@thecompletejake]

Best non-wampler dirt pedal in years. Love it. There's no room on my board for this but I think I'm going to buy one anyway.

[@cemarapkirlioglu7269]

You should check out Xotic SL also :)

[@danielbertola7868]

Until Wampler released the Tumnus! You can probably squeeze it in somewhere! It's awesome and retains more low end IMO. Cheers!

[@bass6309]

Wampler sucks. Too expensive for boring pedals.

[@stephenatgraceland]

I get better sounds using the SF than the TD or any other OD I have tried. Feeding into a Plimsoul or an Angry Charlie sounds best with the SF to me. ymmv, but I always come back to the SF.

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

LOVE the Steve “The Colonel” Cropper on the intro 😊. I can imagine Elwood Blues just running in place while Joliet Jake belts out the tune.

Been hearing great things about this pedal for years. Just finally got one, love it as a clean boost with a little dirt in that Keith Richards space. Very pleased

I love this pedal. It has a great range of sounds and it's easy to dial in exactly what I want. I use it all the time.

[@Wells306]

I don't think I've been in a more feel-good mood after the first song of a PGS demo

[@AtacamaHumanoid]

Blues Brothers for the win! :) The tele definitely sounds the best, too!

[@imjspaceman]

Atacama Humanoid Blues Bros were awesome, but it was Sam & Dave's tune.

[@ptrisonic]

“Hold on, I’m Coming” ?

[@imjspaceman]

Yes, "Hold On I'm Coming" is the title track from Sam & Dave's 1966 debut album. Excellent album of Memphis soul that also has "I Take What I Want" and "You Don't Know Like I Know." You should totally check out a bunch of Sam & Dave if you're not familiar with them already.

[@U2WB]

LOVE it ! Awesome sound, awesome demo. I haven’t heard Thin Lizzy is such a long time; I’d forgotten how good they were.

[@michaeloconnor139]

Got one a few months back for about $90. Playing it through a Vox and totally dig it. Great little pedal and thanks for the awesome sounding review as always.

[@TheNathanTheory]

Love the Thin Lizzy you threw in there, Andy. Thanks so much for all these demos.

[@henpest2]

I love listening to this guy play any style it is a wonder to behold!

[@TJKarlson]

Jailbreak! Awesome. I have totally been obsessed with that album lately.

[@jimmars1083]

I have this pedal and love it. This is by far the best sounding demo of the Soul Food pedal and I have seem them all.

[@Guitarman3348]

That's the G&L Fender line and these are great instruments Leo Fender designed before he past and left the legacy with his wife. This sounds like a great pedal I really like the Thin Lizzy sound. one of my favorite bands of all time next to Bad Company

That last image got me..... Fried Chicken and collard greens.... Soul Food! Great demo and great sound!

[@navigator3744]

Nice guitar playing! I listened to it a bunch of times. Great right hand technique. Beautiful rhythm. Note for note perfect! Makes you appreciate what a great song that was. Nice. Thanks for that.

[@JrAlfaro2000]

this is the best demo of this amazing pedal i got mine today a live in Costa Rica and it is really great sounding pedal and if you running into a large pedalboard it has the plus of a great buffer.....and of course Andy´s demos are always the best

[@IM_REDEEMED_777]

thats a quick demo I did my self with the soul food...amazing pedal. love it

[@soundgear99]

Best drive pedal for the money. Hands down.

[@urbanesoul8400]

I saw this pedal & came here to see what Andy would make of it. I compared it to other pedals demoed on KZbin, many also by Andy on this channel. After a lot of time, a lot of thought, & a great deal of comparison to similar pedals, I got one. Only been a month but it's awesome, easily one of favs. I'm considering getting another for crunchy vintage drive, since I'm using this one as both that & clean boost. It's a great lil pedal & fits in with my EHX Nano Big Muff & my MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion as a boost or light crunchy drive sound. An amazing lil beast of a pedal! You did a wonderful demo of it here, Andy :-)

[@davidnefesh]

I'm used to the warmth of a MojoMojo for OD on a wide range of music, but I was curious about the Soul Food after hearing great things about it, so I bought one. It's great for ballsy chords and as a lead boost, but I find it too midrangey and abrasive for general rhythm work. I'll stick with the MojoMojo as my main OD pedal for that reason. Thanks for all your great reviews Andy, and it's always a pleasure listening to your guitar playing.

[@proletar-ian]

Man the buffer in this is a game changer

[@paradiswest4395]

Does anybody else immediately feel the need to watch the Blues Bros?

[@MiguelLumberto]

[@charliegrant6937]

Andy, your playing is a total joy to behold! (Pretty cool pedal too hehe)

[@JoeCostantini74]

I pick mine up at the music store tomorrow, along with a Rat 2. Soul Food gives the Rat what it's missing in my opinion, they are a match made in heaven. But that pedal sounds pretty damn good all by itself. Might not need the Rat (just want it), just my Randall head and this, Ill have to experiment. Or my Blackstar combo and this.

[@cgavin1]

A great pedal. Very affordable and fun to modify too!

[@johngannon9954]

It's 9:30 am on my day off and I'm in bed drinking coffee and watching Andy play some tasty licks. Thanks ProGuitarShopDemos for another great video!

[@nycLPplayer]

I think the magic in Klon clones is in the output and tone knob in low gain settings which enhances your tone assuming you didn't need a buffer in the first place. I did a demo on my channel with a TS style pedal and together they balance out what the other doesn't focus on. These are a great always on pedal but don't go selling your other ODs to get this as this one is about subtleties and you will miss your old drives.

[@TheVerlaine]

The lizzy riffs sold it to me - It's obviously a sign.

[@irecki1]

Yeah, Thin Lizzy best riffs!

[@haveguitar]

Really good demo of a really sweet pedal. Just got mine and its... good! 👍😃

[@KirbyCurbwhy]

sounds great but be careful and dont drop em, their internals get messed up easily and the one i have doesnt work anymore

[@nitegoat1369]

This is a great blues OD, but I prefer the EHX OD Glove. The OD Glove makes the clean channel on my 1994 SS MIM Princeton 65 sound like a Marshall Plexi. It's like the Soul Food on steroids. The OD Glove also gives you the choice between a 9v and 18v setting by utilizing an internal switch. It can do what the Soul Food does but gives you a lot more gain.

[@northernthrifter8817]

There good pedals and quite similar in some ways but very different characteristics. I wasn't sure what it's get with the glove but I was sure I wouldn't regret it. The soul food is very transparent or clear you might say, and there's plenty of crisp crunchy OD. The glove adds more of it's own character to your tone, it's a very useful OD it can b used for boosts and solos or high British type gain amps.

[@mariuscervantes3845]

If you are thinking about getting this pedal get it, it's great and stacks well with other pedals. I've had the J. Rockett Archer as well and the Soul Food is the better sounding pedal to my ears for quite a bit less money.

Hi, I often see that you play G&L Legacy guitars. I own one myself, those are great! I was wondering if you roll back the bass on it a bit? You make it sound more "stratty" than me, but it might just be your playing. What are your general amp settings when using a Legacy? :)

[@seanmarshall5569]

Andy, is this demo done in True Bypass or in Buffered mode?
