Designing the MojoMojo Overdrive was both very simple and very complex. TC knew what we wanted from the start - a pedal that sounds like an amp, a very open character and little compression. TC 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, we 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. TC basically set out to capture lightning in a bottle with a clarity that even allowed for complex chords to stand out. TC wanted to deliver the magic, spine-shivering feeling of an amplifier working hard and delivering pure valve tone....

Designing the MojoMojo Overdrive was both very simple and very complex. TC knew what we wanted from the start - a pedal that sounds like an amp, a very open character and little compression. TC 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, we 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. TC basically set out to capture lightning in a bottle with a clarity that even allowed for complex chords to stand out. TC wanted to deliver the magic, spine-shivering feeling of an amplifier working hard and delivering pure valve tone.
Also, TC 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 TC 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. TC set out to deliver a pedal that adds new 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 are excited to say they solved the puzzle, and that the result is simply astounding.
