TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive

TC Electronics has been around for a long time. They are not that popular among guitar players but they have a wide range of effects they offer. The Mojomojo is supposed to be kind of an old school overdrive pedal. The pedal certainly has old school looks. In this pedal you get a slim chassis. The pedal has a brown sparky finish. The controls are simple and clearly labeled. There are 4 knobs on the face with a mini switch and a large single footswitch. The 4 knobs are large and clearly labeled. The top two knobs are Drive and Level. The knobs below them are Bass and Treble. The mini switch in the middle is a voice switch. In the middle of the pedal is a bright red switch that tells you when the thing is activated.

UTILIZATION

This pedal has good simple and rugged construction like most metal pedals. There is not much to go wrong on a simple analog overdrive pedal like this. The knobs are big enough that you can adjust them with your foot. The LED is bright so you have no excuse for not knowing if you are on or off. The pedal offers true bypass switching which should be standard nowadays.

SOUND QUALITY

The OD sound from this pedal is alright. It is not anything very special. You can really kick an amp over the top with the sound from the pedal but the sound itself is not that unique. The pedal offers a pretty vintage overdrive tone but you can get a similar tone from many other pedals. With the drive all the way up the gain is not that much. It is like a thick classic rock gain tone. This pedal does not pack much of a punch. This is more of a sizzle on top pedal than a really thick tone pedal. With the voice switch up you get more midrange in the tone. This sounds good for cleans but it can also give you a really honky annoying sound if you are running more drive.

OVERALL OPINION

The sound from this pedal is not that unique. It sounds like just about any decent old amp at the edge of break up. There is not a lot of gain or tone to be had with this pedal. If you are looking for a classic distortion sound but for some reason do not want to get it from an amp this is a good pedal. Otherwise all the tones you can get form this pedal you can pretty much get from any decent amp or any other overdrive pedal.

See previous opinion, is already was said!

UTILIZATION

It is relatively simple, a drive button, a level, a bass and treble (handy that way)!
I did not read the manual, in fact I wonder if it y one!
I find it completely unnecessary voice button that adds / takes nothing!

SOUND QUALITY

The ovredrive is hot and creamy to perfection, nothing to do with overdrive MXR or Ibanez guy who will certainly be more accurate but much cooler.
For blues or arpeggios radiohead is perfect.
Be careful not to overextend the drive so that the sound remains audible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year, I have at home MXR GT OD and Ibanez TS 808 that have nothing to do, they are different pedals.
Over time, of course I would do this choice because this pedal sounds great!

Analog Overdrive. No editing on a PC, it's the only pedal format TonePrint who does not have USB. At the same time, it's not rocket science to solve!
Connections: in / out and 9v

UTILIZATION

Extremely easy configuration. The manual is useless. You turn it sounds!

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal gives a second life to a rather cold amp (Vox AD50VT for my part). The pickups on my Ibanez S540 are having heart's content. Double, split ... It's all good!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months. It pretty well complete my MXR GT-OD. The TC Electronic is more subtle than the MXR. It allows me to have something light and drive harder to reach on foot.
I tried a trick blues thing at Boss, cold and boring to die (in my opinion).
Most: simplicity, sound, look. Cons: the switch voicing seems little influence on the sound.
The quality / price is right. I would do probably the choice. I plan to take an all-tube amp, I hope not be disappointed by this pedal ...

UTILIZATION

Back point by point on the features of this pedal:
- TonePrint: Instant access the settings via a computer
So there I confess I have not taken the time to look into it ... but is it worth it really interested?

- Voicing Switch: Boost the bass in an extraordinary way
Well then ... is the joke of the year ... it cuts squarely rather low yeah ... 2 position in the switch, there's no boost.

- Mono In & Out
So it at least, it's great! :-P

- Controls: Drive, Bass, Treble and Level
Pout bof ... the knobs are not very effective ... it's like a Marshall amp head: -]
The Level knob 15h was to find a consistent volume level ... great range of use ...

- True Bypass
Wow top ... Finally something that works!

- ToneLock: Backing up your presets
Such, I have not taken the time to watch!

SOUND QUALITY

So there ... we really reached the heights with this pedal.
It's foutage of mouth altogether.

I plugged my Soldano HotRod 50 XL + and a Gibson Les Paul mounted BKP + a Fender Telecaster Blackout.

If you want an even worse than the Marshall MG, this pedal is for you ... no heat, no presence, no draft as possible ... it's ugly ... it's frankly indescribable. Unable to come out of the mix, even increasing the volume!

I felt like I have some stuff very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very low end ...

I still can not get over it! I'm chamboullé this morning ...

OVERALL OPINION

To answer question:

I used it once again.
I tried many overdrive pedals ... and I will continue, I seek the holy grail.
There is nothing special that I like about this pedal.
Value for money: to shit!
With experience, I will not go that choice.

This is the second time I buy TC Electronics ... it's over you'll catch me doing. (Well I've said for another brand to another opinion: D).
The first was a TC Nova Repeater ... bypass was not really top by the effects cons really interesting ... damage: - /. I thought that with a true bypass on Mojomojo, I do not risked much! Charles you speak!

Anyway ... pity, then try before you buy ... or do like me, Thomann and presto, money back guarantee for 30 days!

Arf ...
