I have an 1971 Princeton reverb that of course sounds excellent and I’ll run a zvex Distortron through it. That gives it a nice punch and the eq on the pedal is less harsh and trebly as compared to some others. Soul Food sounds good, too.
Ooooh! A '71, nice! Mine is a re-issue.
I'll look into those pedals as well. Thanks, GB!

i love zvex stuff. i think the box of rock is among the best overdrives on the market. the one on my board has been there for 16 years and even though i buy a lot of pedals, i can't find 3 overdrives good enough to knock it off of my board.
plus that boost circuit it has on board is amazing. i think it is the boosta grande, maybe?? good stuff.
have you seen that one pedal that is 2 distortrons? it is 2 channels, both a distortron so you can set it up with a lighter gain and a higher gain setting, blend them, or turn the gain down on one to get a solo boost. i think it might be the j mascis signature? i would have to look it up again, but that one is interesting.

I just picked up electro-harmonix Soul Food Overdrive pedal and absolutely love it. Only paid $47 on reverb new in opened box. It is their attempt at copying the Klon pedal.

yeah it's a good one. i use the klon circuit as an always on pedal for strats and teles and anything with p-90s in it. it beefs them up a little bit and gives them a little oompf.

The Klon circuit works really well as a boost into a dirty amp or distortion pedal too. I've been using one for the last couple years into a Big Muff. The Muff is cranked all the way up so it's already raging. When I hit the Klone, all hell breaks loose! It really makes harmonics jump out and it also helps to improve note definition in the lower registers. Tube Screamer circuits can be used similarly too.
