Bass Overdrive with Extended Low-End Response

The Electro-Harmonix Bass Soul Food is a natural overdrive and clean boost pedal designed for bassists and guitarists who want to enhance their instrument's tone without losing its essential character. Its gain stage, treble control and signal path are optimised for extended low frequency response.

Switchable True or Buffered Bypass Modes

This pedal offers user selectable true or buffered bypass modes, letting you choose the signal integrity option that best suits your pedalboard layout and cable runs. A switchable -10dB pad accommodates instruments with higher output levels.

Suits Players Seeking Transparent Overdrive

Boosted power rails deliver extra headroom and definition for a clear, dynamic sound. It is not for players who want heavy distortion or aggressive fuzz textures, nor for those needing a pedal without an external power supply requirement.

Questions about this item

How does the -10 dB pad change the pedal's response with a high-output bass?

The switchable pad reduces the incoming signal by ten decibels, preventing the input stage from clipping when using active pickups or hot preamps.

What does the 9.6 V DC 200 mA supply requirement mean for my pedalboard power setup?

The included adaptor delivers 9.6 volts at 200 milliamps; any isolated supply output rated at 9 V and at least 200 mA will also work.

Will the 6.3 x 5.7 x 3.2 inch enclosure fit on a standard pedalboard row?

The chassis measures six point three by five point seven by three point two inches, so it occupies roughly the same footprint as a large twin-pedal unit.
