Stephen S Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I've not yet had a chance to evaluate all 22 of the "tonewheel sets" that come with the MOJO. Has anybody gone through them and documented their thoughts/impressions?

mate stubb Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I made a spreadsheet at one point, slightly obsolete now since there were originally only 20, and they got rearranged a bit when Mitch's 2 organs were added. I think it is still posted on the Yahoo Mojo group files section. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen S Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks, Moe. I've got a monitor plugged in and am going to test drive some of them as soon as a I find a minute or two. Thanks for the spreadsheet; it will come in handy. DISCLAIMER - professionally affiliated with Fulcrum Acoustic www.fulcrum-acoustic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tweed Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 That spreadsheet would be handy ... what is the Yahoo Mojo group called? I've been searching and Mojo is a very popular word on Yahoo. Actually what I'm really interested in is creating my own tonewheel set for the Mojo. I don't have my own console to measure though, I was just going to take one of the existing sets and tweak it a bit. Currently I'm favouring Mitch's A100, because it's not so screamy in the upper registers. Are the actual tonewheel files available anywhere?

mate stubb Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Just to reiterate: match the names of the organs on my list with the names of the organs in the Mojo, they are somewhat out of order these days. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABECK Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I like set 1. Works great with my amplification support. Indeed. 1 and 2 are easy to overlook, because they don't have sexy names like "59 C3", but they are very good models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John - it's called MojoMusicians. here is a LINK You will need to join first to have access to the files section. I can send you mine. Thanks to both of you. My particular reason for wanting to get ahold of tonewheel sets is to deal with some of the unevenness that is exhibited in all of them in some way. There are some very interesting posts in MojoMusicians which suggest that the rotary effect is partially to blame. It's true that small adjustments of the mic angle setting can enhance or diminish certain notes around the highest F, G area (using 888000000, for example). The simplest thing to do in my case is just go back to using my Vent with the Mojo, at least until I've had a chance to play with the tonewheel settings. I've been happy enough with the Mojo's rotary sound to date, but I haven't been as impressed with the overdrive, but it's OK. Up till now I hadn't tried the Mojo thru the Vent, but I'm liking my first impressions - I've had my Mojo for 4 months and have only now gotten around to trying the combination out - are that it smooths out notes across the whole instument range. Soon I hope to have my Leslie (251 rewired as 147) running again and that's the test I'm really looking forward to.

Al Quinn Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've tried all of the tonewheel sets at home and a few on gigs. At this point, I'm using #1 and loving it. Some of the others sound great but weren't as even across the range of the instrument as #1. I mainly use my Mojo for jazz with LH bass. https://alquinn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Towne Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I also think that the Mojo rotary simulation is the culprit when it comes to the stronger tones up top.
