The MojoMojo is one of the best overdrive pedals on the market at any price. You might not know this, but the MojoMojo is really intended to reproduce the sound of the Vox AC100 amplifier (hence the maroon and gold color scheme, to reflect the Vox grille). You might also consider turning the Gain knob down. Overdrive pedals are never at their best with the Gain knob all the way up. Any fool and crank a knob; it takes subtlely to understand that lower gain almost always sounds better.
@@TheToneLounge If you watch the tc electronic demo video for the MojoMojo from 2015 Tore says that it is "designed to give you the raw and throaty sound of a certain famous 100 W British amp", and while it is never said which, the amp in the video just happens to be a Vox AC100.
I've had one for awhile and finally got around to plugging it into my Matchless Lightning clone. Works pretty dang well! Seems a bit flubby at higher bass settings but it stacks very well with other ODs. I'm quite delighted by how well it works with a Vox circuit.
If you watch TCE's product release video the guy says Mojo Mojo is "based on a certain legendary British amp's OD circuit". Take that tidbit, thyen look at the pedal's color scheme. It should explain why it works so well with Vox amps....
@@TheToneLoungeIf anyone takes the time, it sounds good through any amp, and it's a beautiful sublayer for the Dark Matter Distortion. I think DM was designed to go with MM.
I own this great pedal since 2016 and I can tell you that I still love it. It is actually on my pedalboard as I playing rock and heavy rock stuff. Versatile big sounding pedal.
I agree about Single coils into a clean amp, I think the bass helps with single coil guitars. I never use it to boost amps, I use it like an Amp in a box, I think there are much better boost pedals out there (that's my POV not saying its gospel) but as an Amp like drive its really good and does everything from to warm clean through to Fuzzy Doomy sounds
Yeah, it can seem a bit underwhelming as a pedal, but I've spent enough time with it to know that it's quite capable of good tones. It's a matter of making it work with your rig.
Not totally inspired by the tones, but I love the thoroughness of your testing. But I do think in a context of a live band where you need some crunch - this pedal might be great. Sometimes gear is like this, totally exceeds as utilitarian gear, more so than your favorite gear. Where as our favorite bedroom gear may totally fall apart in a live situation
This is by no means a bad pedal but very average. Not tasteless but not tasty either. The celery of pedals. Hand in hand with the spark the situation gets better. My preferred moment when on its own is the fuzz attempt.

I did not know this about the Mojomojo. Where did you get this information? I would like to read up on it some more.

It is a really good pedal. It sounds great with my ac15 and my Bad Cat.
Love your demos! Hope we can expect the Paul Gilbert version sometime soon? Thanks for all your content!
I'll see if I can get my hands on one, and when I do you can count on a video!
Love the vid! Snap Crackle Pop!!! Info and more info!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
Yeah, baby!
It is quite a mid-rangy and very quiet pedal. I use it before my DS1 and push them both into a marshall profile amp. It sounds like a monster.
The key is to really experiment with the Mojomojo. Many give up on it too quickly.
I use mine exactly the same way after a DS1

I guess it also explains why it works with a Marshall!

Awesome! Wow I like your channel. I live vicariously through your knowledge and talent.
I hope you are enjoying the 1 month straight of content, so far. Took me a good while to get this all done.
@@TheToneLounge Awesome! Thanks for your efforts.
My experience with this pedal is that it is simply a TC Dark Matter with slightly less breakup. They sound identical at every level short of all-out.
I have not played the Dark Matter. I'd be curious to compare the both of them.
Or maybe the Dark Matter is just a MojoMojo with slightly more breakup. And the Rottweiler is a Dark Matter with even more breakup. :D

what mic are u using to record the sound of this demo?

Great video brother! Thank you!
My pleasure! What did you think of the pedal?

What amp are you using with it?

HI! I'M PLAYING IT THROUGH A MARSHALL VALVESTASTE 65R AND THROUGH AN ORANGE TH30 HEAD.

It's not a "magical" pedal, but it can be a useful tool. For this price point, one could buy a much worse pedal.

Dude! I laughed at that, The Celery of Pedals. lol
Ive never come across a better sounding pedal. What do you suggest?
Strange I'm just realizing I'm not seeing all your videos. Not my settings.
UA-cam can be wonky like that.
Sold off the Mojo2…
There is a version 2?

Simply said, no it doesn't, had one a few years ago and it didn't do anything better than my other pedals
