Well I finally got my hands on the Bass Soul Food pedal today, courier dropped it off earlier. Needless to say I took a break from office work and plugged it in.
It’s not going so well…
The footswitch takes real pressure to get it to engage, and it does so with a hugely audible and mechanical click (audible both in the amp signal and just generally as it’s so loud) that is not acceptable.
Even on max drive, there is almost no effect added to the dry signal (even on max blend) so the overdrive itself is not working properly. And the tone pot is scratchy as hell, again audible in the amp.
I hope this isn’t indicative of EHX build quality. Disappointing start.
I have a replacement turning up on Monday.
If it’s not completely different to this unit, I’ll be looking for recommendations in the same price range!
