Electro-harmonix ABOUT electro-harmonix
Electro Harmonix was founded in October 1968 by Mike Matthews. The first product was a fuzz pedal called the Axis Fuzztone. After that, the linear power booster "LPB-1", a model that could be called the original booster, created with Bob Mayer, an engineer at Bell Laboratories, who won numerous Nobel Prizes in Physics, became a big hit, and the Electro Harmonix brand became widely known, even though it was only sold by mail order. Subsequently, around the latter half of 1969, they released the famous "Big Muff", and in the 1970s they released models that are still popular today, such as the Small Stone and Memory Man, which recorded strong sales. Although the company was doing well in the 1970s, it faced problems with labor unions and parts supply in the 1980s, and went bankrupt once in 1984. So Mike Matthews moved to the former Soviet Union and established a new company, New Sensor Corp., in 1988. Under the "Sovtech" brand, the company produced products such as vacuum tubes, effectors, and amplifiers one after another, and made a comeback as a comprehensive music equipment manufacturer. In 1991, he regained the electro-harmonics trademark he had once lost, and in 2002 he returned to his base in New York, where he continues to deliver unique effect units to many players around the world.
Making classic sounds more affordable Mike Matthews, the founder of electro-harmonics, was constantly being told about a certain pedal by tone enthusiasts. This is the Klon Centaur, a famous overdrive that is too expensive to obtain. He tasked his team with creating a pedal that was affordable and accessible to everyone, and Soul Food was born. Klon This unit, which is modeled after the centaur, is an overdrive aimed at tone-sensitive players who value the sound of the instrument itself, and can also be used as a clean booster. It supports a wide range of sounds, from sweet clean boosts and light distortion that expresses the player's touch, to intense overdrive that brings the sound to life. You can also get a better distortion sound out of your amp by increasing the gain to saturate the amp. No matter your playing style or equipment, Soul Food will take your sound to the next level without compromise. Honest OD sound with good response DRIVE control knob

When you remove the back cover, there is a bypass mode switch at the bottom right of the board (see image). When the switch is set to True (top), it becomes true bypass when bypassed. Buffer (bottom) passes through the buffer circuit when bypassing. True when shipped from the factory. In True mode, the INPUT terminal and AMP terminal are directly connected when bypassed. In Buffer mode, when bypassed, the signal passes through a high-quality buffer circuit and is output from the AMP terminal.
