First I ran Modern Player Tele through the Mojo into a little Yamaha lunch box amp. My first thoughts were not good. I fiddled with knobs and ran through pickup selections and nothing was good. Of course this could have been due to the 2.5 inch speaker on the Yamaha amp so I changed to a Fender Deluxe Reverb. Clean sounds were great (duh) but this is about a pedal. I fiddled and fiddled with the pedal, looking for the sweet spot that would make the sound that is currently unavailable to me. I never found it. There was some nice voices that I found in the pedal, but nothing that made me want to commit. The best tones of the day were found running straight to the Deluxe. Here is how you know I was underwhelmed, it was new and half price.
The Ugly: It was generic, bland, didn't control low well, not very transparent.
The Pros: It was cheap(ish) and had great build quality
The Conclusion: The MojoMojo lacked just that, Mojo.
I totally agree with what you are saying. I watched many demos and heard sound clips online, most provided by TC, and they all, of course sounded incredible. I ordered one online and it has to be the worst overdrive! Its more like a bass/mid range booster. Turn on the gain and it muddies up fast. The only way they are able to achieve the sound in the demos is to crank their power section of the amp all the way up and use an attenuator to cut the volume back down to manageable levels. Running a setup like that, you don't need an overdrive pedal in the first place. Just be glad you didn't buy it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a disappointment that a company that has a reputation of producing great pedals produced such a lack luster overdrive. Thanks for the comment!

ReplyDeleteThank god i read this first ,it's a soul food for me
ReplyDeleteI've read the comments above and I think you've all missed the point of the pedal, which would be easy to do if you only tried it briefly. It is highly flexible and quite interactive. It makes great sounds but can also make some useless sounds. If you match the tone controls to the clean tone of your guitar then it provides fabulous OD sounds and feel, especially if you are aware of how the output level of the pedal and the gain level of the amp interact. When I first got the pedal I could have agreed with the comments above but after I owned it for a week I thought it was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBINGO!!!
DeletePaul Gilbert tours around the world with it currently running it through 100w Marshalls so it can't be all that bad

ReplyDeleteJust watched some PG on youtube and now i want a mojomojo!
ReplyDeleteTreat this pedal like a non master Marshall. Put a TS in front of it. Prepare to be amazed.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the point of buying the mojomojo if I need a TS as well?
ReplyDeleteHow many players use only one pedal?
DeleteUnderstand why not wanting to by 2 pedals so that one of them sounds good. However that is pretty much how my board is set up. I love my Fulltone Fulldrive2 as a mild OD giving just a bit of push. And I love the Nobles set up a little dirtier and a little more low end. Both of them together is fantastic. I also like to add the Tumnus on top of both. I just personally like OD pedals set to lower "gain" setting but stacking them. Not for everyone but is kind of a sum of the parts kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with the author here. It sounds like he did not get it set up correctly. I even use this to boost my Angry Charlie, and it's magnificent. His statements about "not controlling the low end" seem odd, as that would indicate that this is more of a Klon design, which actually, is less cutting in the lows. Not everyone needs their LF cut, so it appears that his statement is slightly naive. Thanks for bringing this to us though, great pedal!
ReplyDeleteThis pedal sounds good to me. But with low gain and full of treble. And the stuff Marshall VS100 clean and the guitar old Jim Harles Lespaul form 90'... here my video

I love this pedal. I run a Fuzzrocious Demon into the Mojo and it's fantastic. But really I like the mojo after most overdrives and distortions (fuzz,it depends). It does something to the midrange that I can't get enough of.
