      Definitely not more than Hendrix. Every player since 1967 that ever that has played a fuzz pedal or Univibe or an Octavia is almost entirely because of Hendrix. It started wit him. But yeah no doubt Andy has sold a lot of pedals.

    This guy's demos always sell me on gear I'm interested in. I'll always watch like 10 bad demos and talk myself out of buying something then after watching his demo I talk myself back into it and usually end up happy. Maybe due to better amp EQ or recording setup but whatever it is it works. Everything just seems less muddy and clearer on the ProGuitarShopDemos. They have also made me want a Telecaster really bad, so thanks for that. At least I can live inside the cardboard box my amp came in when I cant pay rent due to having spent all my money on gear.

    I saw this pedal & came here to see what Andy would make of it. I compared it to other pedals demoed on UA-cam, many also by Andy on this channel.
    After a lot of time, a lot of thought, & a great deal of comparison to similar pedals, I got one.
    Only been a month but it's awesome, easily one of favs. I'm considering getting another for crunchy vintage drive, since I'm using this one as both that & clean boost.
    It's a great lil pedal & fits in with my EHX Nano Big Muff & my MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion as a boost or light crunchy drive sound.
    An amazing lil beast of a pedal! You did a wonderful demo of it here, Andy :-)

    I'm used to the warmth of a MojoMojo for OD on a wide range of music, but I was curious about the Soul Food after hearing great things about it, so I bought one. It's great for ballsy chords and as a lead boost, but I find it too midrangey and abrasive for general rhythm work. I'll stick with the MojoMojo as my main OD pedal for that reason. Thanks for all your great reviews Andy, and it's always a pleasure listening to your guitar playing.
