Top 10 Overdrive Pedals of 2014

Here’s my first half of 2014 top 10 overdrive pedals list. I have based this purely on tone and not on build/construction quality otherwise the EHX Soul Food pedal probably wouldn’t have made the list (see this video). This is not a top 10 of all time, it’s a top 10 of the pedals reviewed in the first half of 2014.
