Congratulations! You have just bought an Overdrive pedal that will breathe life, magic and that
certain something into your sound and make your playing stand out.

you have achieved it by the hairs on your neck standing out. MOJO MOJO is the pedal that will deliver
that flash of perfection every time you engage it, providing a crisp and clear overdrive with a rock-solid
bottomend.Asweetblueslead,anextrachunkyrhythmtoneorasoaringlead,it’sallthere–andthen
