TC ElectronicMOJOMOJO OVERDRIVE Exceptional Overdrive Pedal with Extra Headroom, Precise Controls and a Voicing Switch

Well made and has a really lovely warm overdriven sound. I have 5 other overdrive pedals of different price ranges and types. Very happy with this one. Definitely brings its own unique warm tone to the party. Lots of low end growl when you turn up the drive. Yet it is surprisingly quiet with only very slight hum when at maximimum drive and output. I use it on a pedal board that goes into a di box and into laptop and studio monitors, so i dont use an amp. This pedal is now 2nd in the pedal chain and really adds that real tube sound. It works great on its own but also with the other pedals such as blues breaker, boost, delay and chorus placed after it. Being a real tube it is so responsive to how you play. Pick lightly with guitar volume rolled off and its quite clean but yet stiĺl warm sounding with good definition. Bring up the volume and/ or pick hard and it distorts beautifully. It doesnt have tone controls but I can tweak that with my eq pedal. With single coils it sounds wonderful. With humbuckers it sounds a lot heavier, more like fuzz. Its an absolutely brilliant pedal and would be worth the investment if it was 3 times the price. If you dont have a valve amp and want that warm organic drive then for 60 quid you cant go wrong with this pedal. Also there's the option to swap out the tube for another type if you should want to. I wont be changing though as love the sound of it. Its now a permanent fixture on my board for sure. No frills, just well made and sounds wonderful. Highly recommend.

I love this overdrive! I was on a hunt for that perfect tone( I enjoy Clapton, Mayer SRV, as well as Neil Young and the band - and play a deluxe American strat into a fender blues junior.), so I spent a week trying this alongside: ehx crayon, ehx soul food, joyo vintage OD, and a fulltone ocd. The mojo won! I was looking for something that could provide everything from a warm, clean boost to a dirty powerful overdrive. I particularly wanted a responsive tone that would allow me to move from totally clean to fairly dirty just by varying playing pressure. The mojo provides exactly that. Once I'd found my settings, I haven't had to change them! I can access a huge range of tones just by adjusting picking attack. I love a responsive tone.I found this most similar to the ehx crayon and it was a close call. In terms of tone, the mojo is just a little darker, and I compensate by boosting the treble, which gives a sound that, to my ears, is just a touch fuller than the crayon. Some say the mojo can get 'muddy' but I think that's only true if you boost the 'drive' and play it hard. I have it set up with the drive barely dialed in, and the 'level' way up. Here my tone is good and clear and the overdrive is very natural. I'm not sure if this would sit well with a solid state amp, but tubes respond nicely. It also works well when stacked with a little compression - I have a fender micro compressor running into this which gives a great sound for lead lines.This ultimately won against the crayon because of the lower price, and the very easy access on the back - the battery compartment is secure but can be opened in seconds. I'm finding that tc electronics are featuring more and more on my pedal board!

Very impressive product, particularly given the price.You get very effective and useable valve overdrive sounds from it, and you also get the dynamic range & feel you would expect from a valve pre-amp. It's definitely at the higher gain end of things, but you can still get semi-clean sounds. The only slight problem with this is that the level control is at parity when it is turned a long way down, so there isn't much fine adjustment - it's either loud or really loud.The only other very minor grumble is it's quite a big unit - probably only about 1 cm longer & wider than something like a standard Boss pedal - but it does seem very big & chunky on a pedal board, particularly if you've got it alongside compact pedals. Having said that, the positive is that it is very robust and solid feeling, and the controls are big & easy to use . No small& fiddly little knobs here.Basically you should just buy it. Great pedal, great fun and at that price, you can't really go wrong.
