      @@larsfrederiksen3005 Hey Lars, if it really is you then I apologize. I take back what I say about you not enjoying Paul. I'm really glad you were enjoying his presence like we enjoyed the video. However, I will maintain that your role in the video is sorely lacking because you barely contributed any info of value and had practically no reaction to what he said and did. It's 99.9% dominated by Paul. It might as well just be him explaining his rig without an interviewer. Even saying something like "that lick was great" or your tone was awesome would have contributed something more. It just feels like you had no reaction. Compare that to the videos he's done with JHS. Their chemistry is way better.

      Same here! I actually got mine in large part because of Paul and it just sounds great. I use it in the same way cause I play a lot of small gigs and I don't have a car so I'm often using the venue's equipment. So as long as I can get an Ok clean sound from whatever amp they have, I throw on the mojo mojo and I have my sound.

    More n more I'm finding that fuzzes really work best (for me ) as a lead pedal the way Paul describes here. I find that whatever the distortion pedal it always tends to sound thin on leads but if I dial in a killer crunch sound and a nice edge of break up tone I can easily match the fatness of the cleaner sound with a fuzz for leads. Particular this speaks in a live context
