I have 5 other overdrive pedals of different price ranges and types. Very happy with this one. Definitely brings its own unique warm tone to the party. Lots of low end growl when you turn up the drive. Yet it is surprisingly quiet with only very slight hum when at maximimum drive and output. I use it on a pedal board that goes into a di box and into laptop and studio monitors, so i dont use an amp. This pedal is now 2nd in the pedal chain and really adds that real tube sound. It works great on its own but also with the other pedals such as blues breaker, boost, delay and chorus placed after it. Being a real tube it is so responsive to how you play. Pick lightly with guitar volume rolled off and its quite clean but yet stiĺl warm sounding with good definition. Bring up the volume and/ or pick hard and it distorts beautifully. It doesnt have tone controls but I can tweak that with my eq pedal. With single coils it sounds wonderful. With humbuckers it sounds a lot heavier, more like fuzz. Its an absolutely brilliant pedal and would be worth the investment if it was 3 times the price. If you dont have a valve amp and want that warm organic drive then for 60 quid you cant go wrong with this pedal. Also there's the option to swap out the tube for another type if you should want to. I wont be changing though as love the sound of it. Its now a permanent fixture on my board for sure. No frills, just well made and sounds wonderful. Highly recommend. Review: I love this overdrive - I love this overdrive! I was on a hunt for that perfect tone( I enjoy Clapton, Mayer SRV, as well as Neil Young and the band - and play a deluxe American strat into a fender blues junior.), so I spent a week trying this alongside: ehx crayon, ehx soul food, joyo vintage OD, and a fulltone ocd. The mojo won! I was looking for something that could provide everything from a warm, clean boost to a dirty powerful overdrive. I particularly wanted a responsive tone that would allow me to move from totally clean to fairly dirty just by varying playing pressure. The mojo provides exactly that. Once I'd found my settings, I haven't had to change them! I can access a huge range of tones just by adjusting picking attack. I love a responsive tone. I found this most similar to the ehx crayon and it was a close call. In terms of tone, the mojo is just a little darker, and I compensate by boosting the treble, which gives a sound that, to my ears, is just a touch fuller than the crayon. Some say the mojo can get 'muddy' but I think that's only true if you boost the 'drive' and play it hard. I have it set up with the drive barely dialed in, and the 'level' way up. Here my tone is good and clear and the overdrive is very natural. I'm not sure if this would sit well with a solid state amp, but tubes respond nicely. It also works well when stacked with a little compression - I have a fender micro compressor running into this which gives a great sound for lead lines. This ultimately won against the crayon because of the lower price, and the very easy access on the back - the battery compartment is secure but can be opened in seconds. I'm finding that tc electronics are featuring more and more on my pedal board! ## Features - Tube-driven preamp - All-analogue circuitry with 12AX7 tube inside - Warm, organic overdrive tones on tap - True bypass - Top-mounted I/O ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079LZL13R | | Amperage | 0.04 Milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,764 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 33 in Guitar Distortion & Overdrive Effects | | Brand Name | TC Electronic | | Colour | Black and Silver | | Controls Type | Footswitch | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,416) | | Finish Type | Painted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00653341314031 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | Power supply, cable | | Item Dimensions | 5.2 x 2.9 x 2.3 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.2L x 2.9W x 2.3H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Tube Pilot Overdrive | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe | | Manufacturer Part Number | P0CQD | | Model Name | TUBE PILOT OVERDRIVE | | Model Number | TUBE PILOT OVERDRIVE | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Set Name | Tube Pilot | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | TUBE PILOT OVERDRIVE | | UPC | 653341314031 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 9 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TC Electronic - **Colour:** Black and Silver - **Item weight:** 0.4 Kilograms - **Product dimensions:** 5.2L x 2.9W x 2.3H centimetres - **Style:** TUBE PILOT OVERDRIVE ## Images ![TC Electronic TUBE PILOT OVERDRIVE 12AX7-Equipped Real Tube Overdrive Pedal with Warm and Expressive Sound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Ob9VXvpsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the photo above actual size as I am concerned that my jack leads will not fit?** A: Hello, I do not know if the picture is displayed for you in real size, but the ends will fit, they are a standard 6.3 mm jack. Regards **Q: Is this the TC032 model?** A: Wouldn't know, it's MojoMojo never had a problem, always works fine **Q: does this pedal come with the adapter?** A: No, it does take 9V battery, and most 9V pedal adaptors will work with it. I use a pedal power brick for my board, so didn't need one. It's not a bad pedal for the price. Quite a warm dark sound. It's stacks up nicely with other overdrives and distortions. Sounds great with a tube screamer! I've also got an electro harmonix soul food which is a much brighter overdrive for a similar price. It's a great clone of the old Klon centaurs, but for a fraction of the £1000 you have to spend on one. Depends what you're after. **Q: Will this work good with my Vox ac 30 tube amp thanks.** A: I see no reason why it should not work well with any amp.. Mine works on Orange and Blackstar Amps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely warm tube overdrive *by G***B on 3 October 2023* Well made and has a really lovely warm overdriven sound.
