Signal Chain, Fender Stratocaster into the Klon and MojoMojo then into a 1974 Marshall JMP 100w
This is awesome! Definitely a VS we couldn't even imagine to see and hear in our wildest dreams :)
and the mojomojo sounds better to my ears. :)
hahahaha, £35 vs £1500!
I may be biased, but the MojoMojo Decimates the Klon
Love TC but never even took a good look at this pedal. Guess its on my list now.
I agree...I have the J Rockett Archer Ikon a Klon Gold clone and I like the Mojomojo a lot more.
I have the MojoMojo and what I love is that I can thicken the sound easily - something what I want/need when the gain (and the higher harmonics) get increased.
This is the exact comparison I look for when comparing pedals: how they could sound similar when dialed and different. Thank you for being the only one who does this! Subbing!
I just found a Mojomojo at a shop in Central New York for $50. I thought it was used, but the gentleman behind the counter said "I'll be right back with the box." 😳 Whaa? I didn't know they were so affordable. It functions as a clean boost, EQ, transparent OD, and distortion!
I got the mojomojo yesterday. Its turned my boss katana into a tube amp. The warmth and sustain it provides makes playing so much more enjoyable, if you feel like your amp is lacking get this pedal.
Easy there cowboy
So my 49.99 MojoMojo, has more range is as good as the Centaur. Got it. Thank you. ;)
It's not as loud though, that's the magic of klon pedals, very loud.
And feel too i guess?
Loud is useless. Loud just drives the input of the amp harder, so you could just use a clean boost on top of the mojo
+Escalator not if you're talking about a dirty amp, if you've got an amp that's already gnarly, klon type pedals can actually push them to be louder instead of just adding compression and flub. Not dissing the mojomojo, it's a nice pedal, and for the price it's amazing, but looking at a klon or klone simply for the drive sound is missing the point of what actually makes it special.
james souleyrette When you say "push them to be louder" is it just volume out of the speakers ? if it's just that, a boost in an effect loop does it. I never tried a klon so I don't know exactly what you mean
Even the vid is 5 years old.
Mojo Mojo is still on my board.
But i replaced several Klon like pedals over the years. 😎
That means MojoMojo is still one of the best "cleanish" Overdrives on the market and still underrated.
Maybe it's to cheap to get the attention it deserves
shnobel does some of the best "vs" videos on youtube. Back and forth so quickly so you can immediately compare. No 2 minutes of talking before hearing a direct compare and have sort of forgotten exactly what you just heard.
He does do it right but you can give analysis after going back and forth a few times so that we don't lose the tone. Then asses each setting after we've compared them
Exactly. I hate it when they talk in between switching, I can hardly compare the tone when they do that.
The Mojo Mojo stands up for itself admirably.
Mojo is just an incredible pedal!
Klon is what started the "boutique" scene and the epoxy inside made it "boutique mystique". Plus every single one of them was built by hand with rare parts, where the mojo is assembly line with pre built circuit boards from China. That's the 2k difference I suppose. There's so many pedals in the $50-100 range that can sound just as good. If you was to do a blind test, it would be interesting but not many would probably tell the difference. It's more of a "looky what I got" kinda thing if ya ask me
So many amazing pedals out there today at all sorts of price points. LOVE IT! This MojoMojo is definitely among them.
Love my Mojo! I use it just a bit & so far it is the best at doing subtle OD than most I have messed with.
Just as a side note, for anyone not liking the way the MojoMojo sounds, put the treble all the way up and put the bass to about 3 o'clock or all the way up, set the gain at about 10 o'clock and put the level anywhere you like (I keep it at about 12 o'clock).
I find it completely loses it's bite when you set the EQ's low. You need them all the way up! That's what the Klon does, boosts the high and low frequencies... Then use the gain as a kind of mixer between your guitars clean signal and the dirt of the pedal. If you really want that Klon sound for under a grand, go and buy a J.RAD Archer, they're very reasonably priced IMHO. But ya, the MojoMojo sounds amazing.
I found your comment very interesting and will be trying it out. What sort of clean amp would you use these settings with?
@@socialdef3 On a budget? Marshall DSL40
I was always a big fan of A/B tests, better when they're way blind. This way is very useful to understand wich one is your right choice sounding way.
i got the mojo for $50. such a steal. you can get some nice transparency with it for some cool dirty reverb leads or get some really nice crunch and tone out of it
Clearly, a better pedal than the price would suggest... for certain tones/settings. Doesn't destroy the idea of Centaur as a great pedal, but underscores the Mojomojo being a better pedal than its price indicates.
Brad Dietz The Mojo is by far the best drive pedal ive ever owned
Sorry....I'll never buy a over priced pedal like the Klon. I got the Mojo Mojo and I never looked back.
just ordered two, i like a bit bassy pedals for jazzy/bluesy tones with my 3 Yamaha Pacifica 112V strat neck pups, Moskys( Silver Horse & Crazy Tone & Caline Highway Man are good with the bass, Joyo Us Dream is very jazzy...) an if I really want a humbuckish tone Ill switch on the mighty SD Pickup Boosters res peak thingy, so no pickup changes fo me Yam superstrats ( hum bucker in bridge (splittable!) , a lotta pedals, but its easier to stomp on pedals than change pickups every now an then, this Mojo thingy is truly what Ive been looking after!! Cheerio, K : )
@@kimmolingonheimo Sounds like you'd love the Caline Orange Burst. Cheap, bass on tap and a great blues breaker tone.
I just want to add that the MojoMojo has an extended bass response, especially with the "Voice" switch in the upper position (it cuts some bass in the lower position). This video never shows the full range of tonal possibilities that the MojoMojo can deliver, and yet to my ears, the MojoMojo is clearly superior to the Klon Centaur, in this video.
I may have missed it, but I didn't see the Bass knob turned up. The MojoMojo really comes into its own when you crank that Bass knob.Go watch Paul Gilbert demonstrate it. Sounds wonderful.
Paul uses it as a boost to further his already cranked amp to avoid shrillness of his notes. If you boost the bass on the mojo mojo and used it as a stand alone overdrive like being demoed here, it will sound quite muddy almost like it does not have treble. I have one (Mojo mojo). I have tried your idea.
@@endlessfrogs2972 not true. He sends the Mojomojo into a clean Marshall. The MM is his core sound.
@@azcoyote007 I think what we were talking about here is Paul's demo of the mojomojo. So yeah, 'not true' is the not so true statement from you. I am well aware that he uses it in front of a clean Marshall most of the time but not exclusively. It depends on what he is going for on that day/session. Heck, he has used his PG14 in front of the Mojomojo to crank it further. So yeah. Be sure you know what is being discussed before you comment. Because the way you commented, made it seemed like there is no other way he would use a mojo. Cool?
not even remotely cool you raging douchebag. Read your own post. One could read YOUR comment and say you are being declarative as well. On a performance day to day basis he is running into a clean amp. Did I say he NEVER has used it as a boost? No. But for his performances he is running into a clean amp. My statement is true. Now go fornicate yourself with an iron rod…. If that giant stick you have up your ass will allow it.
They're very different pedals & they're both great!!!
I have a Klon & it works Fantastically going into the front end of the Mojomojo (I have a few of these now because they're incredibly cheap & sound awesome too!!) which unlocks loads of magic!!!!
I plug into old Marshall Super Lead Heads (old ones not reissue) & the tone is as good as it gets!!
It sounds like this demo was done with a Fender amplifier which in my opinion always sound rubbish because of the lack of midrange which is where the guitar frequency lives!!
Thats cool dude, the TC mojo is one of the best "under a hundred dollar" pedals out there! I need to get me one.. I have an original Klon Centaur too, I traded my JCM 800 half stack for it.
MojoMojo the pedal I never knew I needed! Bought one used this morning on whim for £25 - can’t wait to get it on my board. Obviously the Klon also sounds great, and something to aspire to perhaps, but I’m feeling good that I can get to / close to that tone in my own way with the TC pedal. Thanks for the side by side - great clip!
I think the mojo sounds better
Wow… the mojomojo has all of the high end sparkle and mids that the klon has, but has way better low end. A pedal worth buying!
Centaur seems a bit nasal, where the Mojomojo seems more full.
You are a great player, and I had no idea the MJMJ (which I got because Paul Gilbert loves them) could masquerade as a Klon Klone!
And the MojoMojo sounds freakin' awesome on bass too!
Haha...that was fun.
I wonder if you could have got closer with MojoMojo by adding a bit more highs?
Not a surprise the TC is far superior. I have a TC dark matter, same thing. TC increases the internal voltage on both of their pedals 3-4 times which gives them much more headroom. The increased dynamics make it sound much more open, like a real tube. All other pedals have that flat over compressed thing happening. Totally independent of tone, it gives the feel of a tube. Tone U can change with EQ'ing not dynamics. The dark matter may be going out of production, too bad, not sure about Mojo-Mojo.
It seems that the MojoMojo has more range in gain and eq control. They do stack very well together.
MojoMojo is not a "classic-style" overdrive. It has a particular voicing that does not emulate any TS or other vintage OD pedals.
Nuccio raw Lo Presti that's exactly why I bought the MojoMojo in the first place. It sounds like an amp in a box to me, but of course it excels as an overdrive.
Its a Timmy copy
Eytuh Saint No it's not, it's modeled on a Marshall
Perfect Reject for what i know, it is a copy of Timmy
Eytuh Saint TC electronic says in it's video that it's modeled after a British 100 watt amp, which we can all assume is a Plexi
I prefer the mojo mojo sound to the sound of the klon..
to my ear the mojo mojo has a full sound with out the resonance peak. of the two the klon sounds "undernourished or anemic".
mojo rocks!! love this pedal!! I'm gonna get a couple of extras before everyone figures out how good it is !!Awesome!!
I definitely love the Mojomojo! :)
Best part of video --> 0:44
Wowwww!!!!! I own both the SPARK BOOST and the MOJOMOJO and I absolutely love both of them. Best pedals for the money...
I like the Klon in the earlier section. After that they roll around and sound similar, identical in some ways.The Klon has a sweet spot IMO.
The Klon (I've owned the silver version, btw) is a super great pedal, but it sounds flat and drier next to the mojo mojo in this comparison. I would agree they are very different in tone as stated below. But for $50 next to an actual Klon, or Klon clone? That's kind of a no brainer to me. Unless of course, you like collecting insanely priced pedals.
I love the MojoMojo, it's almost always turned on now
wow impressed with the MojoMojo, i like the MojoMojo more than the almost 3000 dollars clone centaur, and the Mojo is what 50 bucks. is a no brainer indeed.
the Clone sounds great on higher settings, sadly is a very unaffordable option but the Mojo is awesome indeed, i liked the way this two stack.
Thanks for showcasing low gain settings too.. That's how I like it
I own a bunch of overdrive pedals. The MojoMojo is really hard to beat for the money.
Different character, the klon pushes the mids and cut a bit bass (in a band mix it pops out bettere), the mojo mojo pushes bass and treble and it's a bit hollow compared (in a band with no keyboard and just one guitar it's killer), there's no winner, they're on different sports
So glad I found my Mojo!
£30 used
They sound very different! LOL
The mojo mojo is great! Love mine, its hard to turn it of.. But I wonder why you didn't took some of the bass off to match the sounds? Good "VS" video anyway..
I'mma just say DAYUM! Nice discovery, brother.
My pick? The MojoMojo.. Sounds great, way cheaper, has a cool name and easily fits on a pedal board.
I just bought 2 perfect condition, barely used mojomojo's for a grand total of $80. I like them better than the Wampler Tumnus and the Archer klones. The gold face Klon is a bit more present and *just* a smidge more alive/saturated in between the lines but for an average price difference of $2,300? No. My only knock is I wish they'd have put the voice switch in the center between the knobs so as to allow room for those mxr style, idk, bumpers on the knobs you want to control then with your foot. You can fit one on the bass knob, which can very useful on the mojo but I'd loved to have been able to fit one one the drive knob.
Hahaha nobady in the audience will notice any difference as long as the guitar player is doing a good job!!!
That daaaaang MOJOMOJO
I literally had three or four OPEN MOUTH MOMENTS!
The klon sounds kind of 2d and flat next to the mojo. Been checking this pedal out in a lot of reviews. Looks like a winner.
Mojo has very interest quality/price!
MojoMojo is obviously great and compares really well especially considering the price, but I can hear how the Centaur would actually sound better live.
Nicest bits begin @3:15, with the Centaur into Mojo. Veddy niiiiice.
Maybe the Century Is most famous but the mojo-mojo have best gain and sound that anoter pedal ❤️
Mojomojo has more presence and sparkle. Klon is kinda muffled especially the low ends. If both pedals were priced the same, id still get the mojomojo.
Totally different pedals. A useful and well made comparison though...
What pedal is equal with mojo mojo can you please tell me?
@@raffaaa I didn't find one that would be similar! Anyone?
mojo needs mids
sería ideal... en graves es alucinante, pero le faltaría un knob de medios...
I'm gonna agree with that, I have owned mine for a while now, not complaining for $30, I ordered a EQ recently and think I can take it to the next level. It's a great pedal with my single coils, and P-90s. But I just want to drive the clean side a bit more and push the mids with the EQ
@@Mr.Steve-Ojhs spooky mids will do it, one band mid eq
@@DANTHETUBEMAN will check that out, thx Dan
I get the mids / treb / bass for many pedals from the Fender Engager Boost: a true game changer for many of my pedals, a swiss knife EQ, buffered or bybassed, a silent and quick eq pedal, heartily recommend instead of hissy eq pedals wwith tiny tiny knobbies..., 100€s well worth it!
Damn im going to purchase a mojo rigth now
Mojo mojo is beautiful
This is interesting. Depending on guitar and amp, Mojomojo could be the better low-gain drive while the real Centaur is first choice to boost an hi-gain metal amp.
Why would you run the MM with EQ cuts? That's hardly a reasonable comparison.
MojoMojo sounds better to my ear and has more tonal flexibility. ✌️
Yeah, the MJMJ is a very versatile pedal! I love it when the bass is turned up, I'm going to have to compare it to my Klon Klone with ultra gain and bass boost and see which is more versatile. I never would have thought of this comparison on my own.
The MojoMojo just sounds better lol oops sorry, I mean THE KLON IS THE GREATEST!!! THE HYPE IS REEAAAL!!!
Some reviewer‘s compare knob positions which is ridiculous this guy knows how to tweak the pedals to overcome the knob positions and try to compare the sound
Mojo absolutely thrashes the klon
For transparency at least the klon is very focused
and how much is the centaur? this mojo mojo sounds pretty damn good
Next Mojomojo vs Timmy
I have a pdboard of 10 pedals and my Mojomojo is my favorite of all them
If I have to tell the truth in a blind test I would have chosen the Mojo
just got mine today!! great sounding overdrive!!in my humble opinion it seems to like a clean amp apposed to one that is already cookin.. it does tend to get a bit muddy that way.my ts808 loves the dirty Marshall but the mojo not so much..I need to do some homework..
Had to mess around with the mojomojo for about 30 minutes to really dial it in to play nice with my amp, but once I got it going it killed. In my case the secret was in stacking the drives at the right levels and really seeing what I wanted to come through from my amp as far as eq (so much bass in that pedal).
As an overdrive, I use the MojoMojo with the voice switch down, and the bass at about 10 o clock, if you still want it to sound a bit like a TS.
If you wanted them to be more similar, turn down the voice (less bottom end) and add some treble to the mojo
The mojomojo sounds really great in your video! I've seen several videos where the mojomojo sounded darker and duller.
if you can make the Mojo sound like a Klon , then you can make any pedal sound like any other...
Well I'll be getting the mojomojo now.
I put a mojo mojo circuitry in a klon centaur casing, and calls it vintage. Get it guys?
okay, so I couldn't tell a huge difference. in fact they started to just blend into another
Mojo wins!
And they run at about £30 nowadays!
The klon sounds tinny compared to the mojo mojo. Seriously a $80 pedal beats a $5,000.
Mojo by a long shot
Apples vs oranges imo. Both sound good but mojomojo loses with its more limited headroom.
I had a Klondike back in the day when they first started showing up on the forums. I played with it for a few months and sold it for not much more than I payed for it. I wish I’d known the hype this pedal was going to generate. I’d have scalped that bitch for a ton of dough..... but I didn’t.
That was a piss poor shootout. Notice how they don't even dial in thre Klon. Those Klon are beast. I own both and Klon is far more superior sounding
As in the Mojo Mojo is actually more transparent than the Klon and Thousands less. Go figure
I love all tc products and own quite a few but my dark matter and mojomojo were too muddy. Plus the mojomojo didnt delivere any boost when you turn the volume. Was bummed about it.
in my rig (telecaster/blues deluxe) mojomojo works pretty good...the treble knob is almost all the way up, other way is to dark, but delivers the sound that i want and like...
Funny how people expect pedals to sound perfect with the knobs at noon, you know you can move the knob to add more treble and bass, right?
@@kosmicwizard it has nothing to do with the tone knobs. It just sounded muddy and the solo gets lost in the frequency. For riffing the pedal is great
@@DarkVelizar I know what you mean, Big Muffs do this as well. I never tried to use it as a solo boost. Guess you have to use a boost pedal for a solo boost?
Which is pushing which when both on?
You need to try klone going into mojo mojo its good really goodn
Mojomojo remember Boss Blues Driver
The title says "vs" but then you switched to stacking them which is not what I came for.
Who the hell would be stupid enough to spend $2500 on a F-ing pedal?
Let's see $50.00 vs $2500 (on sale)?
I'll spend my $2500 on a point to point hand built Marshall 1974x.
If I had $5 million in the bank I still wouldn't buy that pedal!!!
bluesman1063 I think people that spend that money on the klon already have a vintage marshall and a collection of cool guitars.
Haha love it, $2500 to spare....
...still burn it on guitar gear obviously....
It’ll be worth more later. No different from buying a real 59 Les Paul or 62 Strat. Those things will continue to appreciate. People buy Bentleys and people buy Hondas. “Pride of ownership” and “exclusivity” are _things._
Thanks for the comparison!do you get lots of noise with the mojo mojo when you put the gain and level up?
Ser chromo you can, but it's tolerable, unless you're using a noisy power source. At that point, I'm probably using it as an overdrive, and not as a primary tone.
Mojo mojo more open, klon centaur more mids
I won't get into which sounds "better", but they sound nothing alike
Great video
Sounds completely different.
The Mojomojo sounds better. Wow.
The Centaur sound much more expensive.
I need a mojomojo...👍🎸
...MojoMojo win :-D
Klon has more treble than the TC without losing the bottom end. He is using a Vox AC30 with twin Alnico Blues so what this says to me is the Klon is far more for mids and highs and the TC is lower end doesnt get the highs. I have a J Rockett Archer and I have to say, if you do not use a compressor with it the sound you get is boost but the grit is dependent on the amp settings. I use it into a Laney IRT studio and a Fender GB hotrod. The Archer or Icon is more like the Klon, but hearing the Wampler Tumnus which I think sounds better than the Klon
He is using a MArshall JMP 100
ah thanks, he usually uses a Vox AC30
