Funny "MOJO" stuff

[petemoore]

Earwax does the same thing though...I think that's what they're selling...you shape it around the transistor like a tube, and that makes it more tube-like...

[puretube]

in live-situations, we rather throw beers over the stompboxes, and spill some over the mixing console, too....

[puretube]

"Blitzwire" for mess-distraction?

How about Blitzwire fo mass DISTORTION!

It gives you superb articulation of even order harmonics and refines playing dynamics all at the same time while massivly compressing the signal for a SMOOTH SINGING CREAMY DELICIOUS LOW-FAT sustain!

I know I'm gonna be sorry I asked this, but...

What measurement does THD represent?

Truth and Honesty Distortion?   :twisted:    :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I always laugh when I hear people talk about NOISE free parts in a DISTORTION pedal.

Its pretty much nothing BUT controlled noise from an engineering standpoint.

[Paul Marossy]

David-

THD = Total Harmonic Distortion.  

[Fret Wire]

David: no honesty in our pedal...it uses Truth-Bypass Switching.

Ton: awsome website for our new pedal!!

I even found a famous "Guitar God" to endorse it! :twisted:  :twisted:
http://j-walk.com/other/todd/aboutme.htm

We will sell millions!!

BTW, 3501 views on a post about complete BS!

[puretube]

Fret: I have to stay out of the endorsement negotiations with Todd!

I got a serious problem with the statement on the bottom of his home-page, where he mentions disliking trombones, and trombone-music.

Since I am a fervent fan of the great Fred Wesley, the baddest bone-player of all time (former bandleader/arranger for James Brown, and mastermind behind the JB`s and the Horny Horns, a.o.),
I don`t want to get in direct contact with Todd.

But it`s totally OK, when his management offers us a fair amount of cash,
if he wants to use our pedals in public.

The first couple of thousand pedals will not be sold, but rented, anyway.
(just like a big "exc*ter" manufacturer did in the beginning -
s.th. like 10.000 $ per weekend should be a good starting point -
- remember: they want to achieve that tone -.... ).

We need some good marketing guys/gals + accountants
I`ll stay in R&D&PR.

Has anyone mentioned that stuff you paint on an opamp or transistor that is supposed to make it sound like a tube? I think this was discussed here before, but I still think it is hogwash...

nota bene: the last 300 (!) views occurred over the last 22 hours!

(is that because of that strange link: http://www.blitzwire.de/ ? )

BTW.: the BS could very well be one of our follow-up products...
(advertized as the "Big Shot");

later then, the BMF ("boss MoJo follower") will follow...

[Phorhas]

Wait a second..... T-shirts may not be suitable for this..... perhaps a monogrammed polo shirt would be more appropriate.



Great new site Ton!  :lol:

I was lucky enough to perform with Fred Wesley once (in the Greyboy Allstars configuration).... Damn.... he was good!

[Mark Hammer]

One of the surplus joints near us that sells appliances, mattresses, answering machines, DVD players and a whole lotta subwoofers and car power amps, has this little wedge-shaped thing like a lopsided loaf of pumpernickel that promises all manner of sound image improvements.  I took one out of the box, and I swear to god it has no visible power.  No wallwart jack.  No LEDs to suggest even batteries.  Just input and output jacks and a bypass switch.  Clearly the thing is entirely passive.  So what on earth could a 100% passive box do that would not eat up ridiculous amounts of signal and erode your S/N ratio or phase relationships?  The nearest I can figure out is that it might be some sort of entirely passive version of something like the EM signal spreader circuit ( http://www.montagar.com/~patj/spreader.gif ) and merely passively cancels out antiphase information via purely resistive crossfeeds.  I suppose the good news is that it is marked down to about $30 Canadian.  I think it is made by a company whose initials are AR.  I looked up Acoustic Research and Audio Research but it doesn't seem to be in either of their product lines.

Yeah, he is good!

WOW, I`ll try to find you on that "greyboy" album!!

That reminds me, I mentioned a special story relating to my lovin` wife`s
birthday cheesecake - it has to do with Fred...

As Gerti loves to say:
"Fred`s got more Funk in his toe, than J.B. in his show"

[to the right:],

....

Above pic (backstage) from his last concert with Bootsy`s New Rubber Band in Munich/Germany, where we`re discussing in front of the big black refrigerator, who`ll be the first one to "cut the cake".....


PS.: for those 2 of you, who might not know too much about Fred Wesley, I suggest listening to: "Make It Funky pt.3" by James Brown,
(or read his great biography....)

(artificial-) fur-embroidered leather jackets, maybe ?

we`d be soooo cool!

That's sounding much more like George Clinton.

The time I perfomed with the Allstars was with me doing psychedelic lightshow when they played San Francisco during 1997. Not stage lighting or robot lighting.... but a true analog 1960s style psychedelic performance lightshow, with a funky twist to the feeling.

You wouldn't want to listen to me play guitar very long. :lol:

[Fret Wire]

The coffee mugs, shirts, and jackets should be made in a "mojo location" by "mojo people". I tried nogotiating with Tibetan Monks, but I had to meet them in their Opium Den, so the talks were a little cloudy. They kept mumbling about trading for "Smokeable BBD Chips", so I don't think they're viable. Maybe I'll try circus gypsys.
