TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive: Fine design

Designing MojoMojo Overdrive was both very simple and very complex. They knew what they wanted from the start: A pedal that sounds like an amp, a very open character and little compression. They wanted the pedal to be alive, have an attitude and pick up on the subtleties of your playing in a dynamic way. To add to the challenge, they didn't go for the sound of any old amp, MojoMojo Overdrive needed to give you that sweet, glassy and purely musical cranked tweed sound. They basically set out to capture lightning in a bottle with read more a clarity that even allowed for complex chords to stand out. They wanted to deliver the magic, spine-shivering feeling of an amplifier working hard and delivering pure valve tone.

Also, they recognized that adding an overdrive isn't simple for tone-conscious guitarists. Anyone can slam a pedal onto their board and hope for the best, but they know what it's like to spend countless hours sculpting your own sound. And when adding an overdrive, the last thing you want is for the tone to change. They set out to deliver a pedal that adds stages of crunch, but leaves your tone alone, just like a great overdrive pedal should. In other words, MojoMojo Overdrive is like adding another channel to your amp and it will sound like it always belonged there.

So far for the simple part. The complex part came in designing the pedals. TC is excited to say they solved the puzzle, and that the result is simply astounding.

Ride the lightning

One of the reasons why they've achieved such a dynamic pedal is the fact that they use a special circuit that ramps up the voltage to more than 3-4 times the amount of your typical drive pedals. However, they don't use this added gain to squeeze more overdrive/distortion out of the pedal, but to dramatically increase the headroom and dynamics.

The result? The most alive overdrive you have ever heard, a pedal that defines all that is magic about overdriven sounds and a pedal that responds to your playing in dynamic and ultra-musical ways. It cleans up when you want it to and when you really dig in, MojoMojo Overdrive is right there with you. The word 'pedal' doesn't even begin to describe this little box of wonder, it needs to be tried to be believed.

I'm typically not an OD pedal person, as I try to play / set my amp to just having a little "hair" on it. However, in situations where I can't do that, I need an Overdrive that will get the job done without sounding harsh. I have Zendrives, TubeScreamers, Keeley Modded Blues Drivers, and more. The MojoMojo is great - too bad it's not part of the TonePrint family! Nice smooth overdrive, can get "fizzy" if you want by dialing the tone control, but can also be nice and fat as well. Nice build quality - love the battery access on all the TC Electronics stuff these days (although I usually use the Eneloop Lithium Battery brick). Cool gear!
