They really need to bring him back...

dude should play dirty with RHCP over Flea, they won't need a guitar

Through the whole thing

@@donaldeli2682 nobody cares

@@donaldeli2682 Sod off.

Deserves a video all its own.

And different 8-pin op amp chips are CHEAP. As someone who knows nothing about electronics, that was nice to see.

yes a lot of option, that's why i bought it. Sadly the overall tone was horrible and i ended selling it

Too many options. We just want the best option.

Someone tell the gear page, they'll go crazy over the magic chips lmao

Its based on the klon centaur

Is it true bypass?

@@marilisa_m_bass theres a switch inside to make it true bypass or buffered

@@almostliterally593 thank you very much 🙏

Yes 💯

Capacitors will further round the corners off your square pulses, so (like the Tone knob on the instrument) it can't add anything, just remove it by shunting some of that treble to ground. Compared to the 12 o'clock setting it seems like "adding grit" but it's more a case of "not taking any grit away". I liked the Soul Food for a prog rock vibe, where the bass is in your face tonally rather than with distortion.

I own the Bass Soul Food, and while I like the sound that I get from it, I find myself cranking the bass on my EQ. It really does suck the low end out. I'm thinking of running it in tandem with an EQ pedal.

@@treed873 sucking the bass out had its benefits.

@@almostliterally593 Only if you're a guitar player pretending to be a bass player.

You’re missin out man

@@Wxterslide I'm not missing out on something that I'm not into. It's not like I've boycutted Boss or anything.

It's got my vote for sure.

I've played mine for 7 years. it does it all

Exactly, I can't imagine those super scooped tones would sit well in a mix.

Got one as well, pleased with the tones

I have it also. It's the best pedal to put you in front in the mix. It is almost always on for me

I have one, as well. It is the only drive pedal I've found that doesn't color my tone. It just kicks my already awesome amp tone up to 11.

@@Metalbass1979 Exaktly what I was thinking of when the pedal was on. Very transparent. Sounded best to me

That's a twist on the Klon Centaur I believe... subtle but reactive distortion that you'll probably never turn off!

Sorry!

God I'd hate to see you encounter the people that say the baltics are Scandinavia

Actually, we Finns DO belong to Scandinavia, whatta heck 😱

Johnny Kos what do you like to play? New to bass buying my first pedal. From your comment, my ears 100% agreed with yours lol. I hated the soul food as well the the mxr was my favorite

It loses a good amount of low end. Great pedal, I really love it. But I use it for guitar, not so much for bass.

yes, it does !!

Low end loss is inevitable with a drive pedal unless it has an explicit bass boost or sends through some of your clean signal. Also, a lot of guitar overdrive pedals may have a hi pass filter built in, which would chop off your low end, which may or may not be what you're looking for. For example, Cliff Burton of Metallica used a fuzz wah in toe down position for his lead tone, so lots of upper mids for clarity but the low end is chopped off. Justin Chancellor of Tool uses a Rat and a Wah in toe down for solo tones, same thing. Those are for distorted solo tones, and probably aren't what you're looking for in a bassline tone. I'm not familiar with bass guitar damaging any kind of pedals, never heard of damage happening, but I'm not an engineer and don't know everything. I use my guitar pedals on bass; the main concern is if it sounds good (some do, some don't). The main concern about damage when crossing the bass and guitar streams is speaker damage. Damage comes from a bass through a guitar cab whose speakers can't handle the recoil from the low frequencies of the bass will blow the speakers, or playing guitar through a bass cab with a horn (tweeter) that will be blown by the high frequencies of the guitar. To my knowledge its the speakers you have to worry about. I would ask for advice from qualified personnel before playing any guitar through a bass speaker or bass through a guitar speaker.

@@swissarmyknight4306 Thanks, that makes sense.

He had the drive maxed the whole time. I don't own the pedal, but I think it might sound better with the drive lower. Almost seemed like he was trying to make the Boss pedal sound bad... No conspiracy theory though -- probably more of an oversight.

@@edbutler3 exactly, I own the boss and it sounds really good, they were just moving the knobs to fast keeping the drive at max all time.

I have the bb1x and it is one of the best that boss has released in recent years, it is not an Overdrive, it is more of a sansamp style preamplifier, you make the most of it when combined with another pure overdrive pedal
