just found more "MOJO" here:

http://www.robertkeeley.com/product.php?id=31

reading thru the lines, it seems that caps with higher tolerances
(maybe +200/-100 % ?  :lol: ) add to the magic...

[or did Iget that wrong  :?: ]

:shock:  :?  :oops:

I suppose that by using wide-tolerance capacitors, you spread the range of sounds achieved from individual pedals, thus giving rise to SOME pedals with 'mojo' (i.e. the ones that sound right).

Something like that (make only few pedals sound mojo) was already suggested by me on page 7. But I DID NOT HAVE AN IDEA HOW to do that... but it is o.k. to tell the percentage, not the exact component values.

I think they really mean "low tolerance" - it's a pretty common mistake, thinking "high tolerance" means less slop.

puretube

is "slop" mojo-ish?
if yes, it`d be something the MoJo`s need;

but if less slop means less MoJo...

puretube

one of the most underestimated mojo-factors is the production date:

after the successful run of limited Santaclaus issues,
next special editions will be the X-mas Special,
and the New Year Evenger.

Later on next year: 4th of july...

send us all your defective de-soldered SAD1024;

we need them to put them as placebos (non-functional) into the
MoJo Chorus and Flanger-pedals series.

To hide what`s really doing the effect (MN3207), we sand those
(they look unspectacular like any single/dual opamp, anyway).

Happy reverse-engineering  :P  :twisted: !!!

This action will even rise the cult-status of the SAD,
and NOS sellers can gain much higher margins...

Well, it seems that I started quite a long thread! So, I'm taking it back!! From now on please refer to the "magic" stuff we're all talking about as Mo-Joe. It will be called the Magic Mo-Joe Pedal. And if someone does not comply, I will be forced to send bad vibes your way!

Anyway, I originally started this to get some ideas. I wanted to build a pedal using lots of "secret Mo-Joe stuff." Mainly because I have some wires that were used when my son was a newborn and in VERY bad shape (check my site for details). These wires monitored his heart and his breathing -- essentially they kept him alive. And I want to design a pedal that I love so much that I will always use it, and incorporate these wires into it. That way, my guitar signal will be traveling through the very wires that kept my son alive! How's that for Mo-Joe??

Also, I am hijacking this thread (again) to send people over to a new thread that I will start right after I'm done here. I don't know how to import a link (and I don't have the thread started yet), but if you search for "Violet Ann" you will find it.

SO CHECK OUT THE "VIOLET ANN" THREAD!!!!!

Thanks.

Hi

did any allready mention the mojo "shielding color"?

just in case the hammond box wouldn't!

"true metallic laquer" like original stuff.

(hence my name "radio")
:D
Keep on soldering!
And don t burn fingers!

Joe: you got the edit-button for the topic-title in your first post...
(so you could change it to Mo-Joe).

A very heartwarming story, and I dig the "Violet Ann" idea,
though I`m afraid not to be able to participate.
(I`ll think of another way to be helpful...).

Just got killer visual idea for Mojo BOREINGER product line logo: A yellow equal sided triangle standing on its base, bold text BOREINGER bottom and picture of a copy machine over that inside the triangle.
