Very straightforward and easy to use. Couldn't get a bad sound out of it no matter where I set it, very versatile!!

Sound Quality : 10
I rate this a 10. i own a Klon,Landgraff,all the Fulltone stuff, plus I've owned nearly every OD pedal. This is now my Go to pedal, it works equally well with single coils and humbuckers, and with my amps and other FX. I'm using Plexi Marshalls, Heritage Colonial, Vox AC30, a Fargen VOS and a Trainwreck and I can get great sounds within seconds, no matter which guitar I use!

Reliability : 10
So far, so good, built very well, like a tank!

Customer support is top notch, Ethan's a class act and has great ears, Ive been doing business with him for over 7 years.

I play everything from Classic Rock to Fusion and Blues, and this pedal delivers the goods for me. I bought 2 of these pedals and run them together and have them set for 2 different tones, so it's like having the best 3 channel amp w/o any sacrifices. It's a very musical pedal, has great "feel", and has allowed me to get rid of a bunch of boutique pedals that I thought were great but don't compare. I'll keep my Klon cause it's a bit different, but the majority of the others are going on the Gear Page this week! I like the fact that it can be set very neutrally and open sounding, making my amp sound bigger and richer w/o killing the amps natural tone. Two thumbs way up!!

Volume, tone and gain knobs and a 3 way toggle. Pretty easy to find a great tone. The toggle really makes this 3 OD pedals for me. I like and use all three positions, depending on which guitar and amp I'm using.

Sound Quality : 10
The sound from this pedal is really good. For me, it is clearly the best OD pedal I have used (and I have used many over 25 years). I currently also have a Fulldrive2 and RC booster. This pedal is better than both.

Reliability : No Opinion
It's a pedal with good switches, jacks and pots in a metal box. Looks like it will work longer than me.

Customer Support : 10
The dealer/builder moved the DC power jack for me on mine. He re-drilled a new box for me ... I don't have an extra hole in the case where he normally puts the power jack. So I guess mine is unique. He did this at my request so the pedal fits better on my pedal board. That's customer service!

Overall Rating : 10
I can't imagine a better OD at any price. And the Mojo Drive is only $150. I've been a professional musician for over 25 years and have played all kinds of music. Now, I play in a 3-piece power-trio and for a church gig ... I have versatility in my sounds. I'm down to using only VHT and Bogner amps of various configurations and sizes. I play a strat, LP and EB Axis and use two small pedal boards (one in front of the amp and one in the loop). I recommend this pedal.

Three knobs, a toggle switch, and a on/off footswitch. It's so easy a caveman could use it.

Sound Quality : 9
I tested the manufacturers demo model against the pedals mentioned in the previous post and found it to be the most satisfying of the group. The only pedal to come close was the Landgraff. The Mojo Tone can turn a single channel amp into a more versatile tone machine. I use mine with either a BFDR re-issue, a trainwreck Express "clone" a JTM45, or a 1x12 Marshall combo. It is not noisy at any of its' settings and has worked quite well for me on gigs. Irated it a nine because my hearing doesn't allow me to hear "pristine" anymore

Reliability : 10
This is a well built pedal with quality components. I have already gigged with it w/o backup and have no trepidations about doing so. It is a well made unit.

Customer Support : 10
I've known Ethan for a long time and I can vouch for the quality of his work and his customer support.

Overall Rating : 10
I play mostly blues, classic rock, and just enough jazz for people to ask me to please stop. This is an excellent pedal for most styles where OD and distortion are required. To hang tonally with a Landgraff pedal at about one third the price makes the Mojo Drive an great value. Would I buy another if mine disappeared? Yes, I would. As they say on Ebay, "buy with confidence"!

Easy to use. Gain, Tone, Volume. 3 way toggle.

Sound Quality : 10
Very good. Similar to Landgraff. 3 way switch does modded tubescreamer in the bottom position (very thick and creamy), open, loud and aggressive in the middle position, and marshally crunch in the top position. Top position is great for neck humbucker leads alal Warren Hanyes, I agree with the poster calling this an SLO in a box.

Reliability : No Opinion

Great. Paypal'd the $ and had the pedal less than 5 days later.

Overall Rating : 10
Can't go wrong for $150 and very little wait, which I am sure will change once the word gets out on these. Kills the Barber, Fulltone, Zendrive, Lovepedal stuff. Really. Try it.

Pretty straighforward pedal. The mini toggle has 3 modes, and the output level can be different on each, depending on where the gain is set (at lower gain settings the volume differences are not as dramatic). But it's pretty much set, and forget.

Sound Quality : 9
Phenomenal. Can be used as a clean boost, TS-9 type OD, or a flat out distortion pedal. With the toggle down, there's a pretty significant amount of gain. It makes every amp I've put it in front of sound better. I used to think I preferred the transparency of the TIM, for overdrives. But this pedal just adds the right amount of smooth, sustaining mids for lead tones. The low end stays nice and full. The tones are very complex, and break up into nice overtones as you hold the note. I'd give it a 10, but there's too many tens floating around in the reviews section these days!

Reliability : 9
Appears to be very ruggedly built. About all I can say since I've had it a short time.

Customer Support : 9
I know the builder, he's been on Ebay for a long while and has a huge amount of positive feedback, you won't have any issues.

Overall Rating : 9
Great bang for the buck. Frankly, as good sounding or better than most of the $200 plus overdrive crowd (and it's getting to be a real crowd). Great for an SRV overdrive, pushing your amp a bit for leads, or simply distortion into a clean amp. You pick.

3 knobs and a 3-way switch, how hard can it be to understand how to use this thing? The Mojo Drive has a gain, volume and tone control. It also has a switch that lets you choose between 3 levels or types of gain. I also dig the blue LED.

Sound Quality : 10
This is the best sounding OD pedal that I have ever owned. I have played it through both a Germino and a Trainwreck inspired Rocket Clone, and the Mojo worked very well with my guitar volume (Les Paul R0) to let me go from AC/DC crunch to Warren Haynes smooth lead tones. I would have to say that the pedal is like an SLO in a box. The dealer selling the pedal had it set up on a pedal board along with a TS-9 (Keeley modified), a Landgraff DO, a Fulldrive 2 and a Zendrive. The Mojo was the most natural tube type Od of the group. The Landgraff was a very close second with a very similar control layout and voicing.

Reliability : 10
The pedal is very sturdy, very well built and the components seem to be very high quality.

Customer Support : 10
I contacted Ethan at LoveKraft and he was very open to any questions concerning the Mojo both prior to and after purchasing the Mojo.

Overall Rating : 10
: Again, this is the best over drive that I have ever owned or tried and at the price was quite a bargain. A Les Paul to a Mojo Drive to a Germino is the tone that I have been looking for and I???ve been looking for a long time. If it were to become lost I would get onto the waiting list for another right away.

I'm the manufacturer of this product and wanted to enter my company in the HC database so my buyers can review my products.

Sound Quality : No Opinion
The Mojo Drive is a handmade overdrive/distortion pedal designed to sound and feel exactly like a great amp cranked up. It is always FAT and tight sounding, never flabby or indistinct. The Mojo Drive boosts all frequencies; it will not cut your lows or give you a big midrange hump like many pedals can.

Reliability : No Opinion
The Mojo Drive has 3 knobs: Volume, Tone and Gain, and a 3 way tone switch that gives it 3 distinct sounds. Only the best components are used: Switchcraft jacks, top quality 3PDT stomp switch for true bypass, mill-spec socketed IC, carbon composition resistors and nice film caps. In addition, the Mojo Drive is built on a commercial grade circuit board and is housed in a cast aluminum box that is very tough.
