TC ElectronicMojoMojo Overdrive Pedal

I am using this pedal for initial signal in my small from factor blues pedal setup. Using the Out level at noon and the tube drive at 9:00 o'clock is what works for me. YMMV. This allows me to have the touch sensitive breakup yet still create bell tone clarity when required. Thanks and the price was unbelievable. One thing to note is I find using a power brick having at least 400mA feeds this pedal's needs very nicely.

Excelente pedal suena muy bonito, desde un sonido brillante hasta uno muy cálido, incomparable.

I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged this in. I was looking for a pedal for those songs that I don’t quite want a clean tone, but don’t want nearly as much drive as my boost channel on the fly with quick, precise results for live performances (I know I could achieve that between pickup selection and trimming the volume and tone). In no time flat I was able to dial in exactly the tone I was looking for through nice tube amps. Then for kicks, I also plugged it in to a little battery powered Roland solid state amp that I have and this pedal really nicely warmed up the tone. It’s never quite going to sound and feel quite the same as a real tube amp, but this came plenty close. I strongly recommend checking this pedal out - and at $50 you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Only gripe is the input and output are on the top rather than the sides, but at this price point I might grab another one to dial up another variation of tone. It’s that good.

I quite loved this pedal. The sound is very sensitive (string touch), very open, retaining of (almost all) low-end, and really smoothly ramped up in distortion with the drive knob. Physically it is very well made, though a bit excessively sized and heavy. The knobs and pots and footswitch felt of medium quality, definitely better than the cheapo pedals I've used but clearly not as nice components as the expensive pedals (2-4x cost). To my ears, the drive adds an undertone of full-spectrum fuzz, which gradually becomes an overtone. With the drive cranked, its really really fuzzy. Not like the hyper mutated kind of proper fuzz boxes, but the clipping feels fine (not course) and consistently applied across the EQ. (Super super different from tubescreemers, which I personally find to be some of the most nuanced drive types around; another unpopular opinion in 2024 ha). It has a lot of string clarity in lower drive settings. The tone knob seemed to mostly just roll off the highs, not really changing the character of the sound much. With the tone knob nearly all the way up, this pedal has less impact on my guitar EQ than other drive pedals I own. Many people call this "transparent", which I personally feel is a fair term to use, though totally overrated also. I do value EQ-transparency (or non-alteration), but EQ changes can also be really good and either way can (should? are??) be revised again by your preamp or EQ pedal. The Cinders is awesome to play and great value for the cost. I enjoyed it in low gain, medium, and its higher gain settings. Its not a super versatile sound; in lower settings it can help to "open up" other pedals downstream, but not without a bit of fuzzy goodness. The bluesbreaker by comparison has much less clipping by itself and a better team player in my experience. BTW, if you dont have an EQ pedal you're crazy ;)

Hace su trabajo. Que en su caso es emular a la perfección el tono de cierto pedal mítico de Boss. A la mitad de precio. El botón que le acciona es silencioso, lo cual se agradece. Y está diseñado para sobrevivir una caída de 20 pisos. Lo cual tiene sus pros y contras ya que ocupa mucho espacio en una pedalera. Pero sin duda vale la pena.
