Mojo Hand Effects Extra Special Overdrive Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Go from "clean" to "mean" with Dumble-like overdrive -- controllable by gain, accent, volume, and tone knobs, as well as a jazz/rock two-way toggle switch.

The Mojo Hand Effects Extra Special takes the idea behind the highly successful Mojo Hand Fx DMBL and cranks it to eleven. The Extra Special excels at the medium to higher gain tones associated with those legendary amps. Don't be fooled though, it's no "one trick pony". It boasts a nice range of useable sounds, from clean to mean.

Controls include the standard Volume, Gain, and Tone knobs, along with an Accent knob that acts much like a Presence or Contour control. It also features a two-way toggle for Jazz or Rock voicings. Like all Mojo Hand Fx pedals it comes in a sturdy die-cast enclosure with true bypass switching, powder-coated finish, and UV printed artwork. The Extra Special requires a standard 9v Center Negative power supply or 9v battery (not included).

This pedal delivers all it claims. Wonderfull organic overdrive with just the right amount of midrange boost and compression. I must disagree with one reviewer who felt the 'Jazz" setting was a waste of time. Yea, the rock setting is louder and brighter, but if you spend some time with the jazz setting, I think you'll find that to be the real "Dumbley" setting. Also, carefully use of the accent and tone controls gives more "transperant" result. I found gain, accent and gain controls all set at 3 gives a great Robben Ford tone, on the jazz setting. Switching to the rock setting gives a modern take on the tone, more like a Klon type sound. Truly great value. Love it!
