Got me a new (second hand) Soul Food this weekend, and started fiddling with it.
Noticing the drive knob was a bit loose I decided to pry it off ti tighten the nut, like on a normal pedal.
I was surprised to find the whole bloody thing came off. It seems to be some kind of mini pot inside, and the knob on top has a little rectangle that fits in to turn it.
Just a cautionary tale for anybody who is about to do the same thing, don't prise it up with a spoon.
Am going to superglue it all back together later, unless that's a bad idea, I don't have any of the black goo it seems to have been stuck with originally.

@ttony @digitalscream - what’s going on? Noticed this with several other threads recently.
1. Are you sure?
2. Specifics please.
Will get photos tonight to show you, it works fine, you just need to push the knob bit down firmly and it's ok. Equally, you could turn it with a flat head screwdriver - like a trim pot.

I don't know if it's clear, but there's a rectangle on the bottom of the 'knob' section that slots in to the 'pot' section.
I can twist it with a fingernail, not ideal, but at least the drive settings don't move when the board's in the bag.
Superglue has so far been unsuccesful.
There's a bit on Soul Food knobs in this thread
Will give it a go later.
