Dave Bryce Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Mojo61s are shipping to all retailers at this point...but only a few at a time, in some cases. It depends on how the orders came in and in what order they came in. I believe pretty much all the dealers have units in transit at this point. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Compared to Mitch's excellent review, I'll be brief. This thing is killer. The action is butta, the Rotary controls are dead easy and no problem not having a halfmoon, and the Volume and Drive chickenheads on the left are my life. I have a gig coming up where we might be doing Gimme Some Lovin', and I dialed that tone in with almost no effort (drive a little past half). And I've NEVER played that song before!

RedKey Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yes! Killer. Only had to crack the manual to find the mojo wifi password. Rest is so easy. I'll need to get a half moon figured out. Too many years of unconscious switching to change now. I'll set up a TRS cable with open leads to test & figure out what wiring needs are and then wire one of my leftover CU1 switches to behave properly. Gigging tonight with just this. Dialed in Mitch's 57 B3 as my first choice. Pretty damn close voicing to my '57 C3. Hardened the hammers on the Wurly a bit to match to the sound of mine. Both as good as it gets aside from the real deal in perfect condition. Vox AC30 amp is SWEEEEEET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Muscara Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Still loving mine (though its first gig out tomorrow has been cancelled due to the weather ). I have had some weird glitches with it that have just as mysteriously resolved themselves. I've reported these to Andrea. One could have been a showstopper, but turning it off and back on fixed it. I haven't figured out how to use an external keyboard to control the Lower part. Even with Ext-to-Lower turned on, it seemed to play the Upper part instead. I might be missing something. I purchased the Gator GKB61Slim bag even though the specs have the front to back depth a bit small, and it fits. It's a little bit of a tweak to get the zippers around the corners, but I can completely zip it closed. (I paid extra to have Sweetwater get the case to me today because I was going to have to leave before noon tomorrow to get to this gig 2 hours away, dammit. ) Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

ZioGuido Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I haven't figured out how to use an external keyboard to control the Lower part. Even with Ext-to-Lower turned on, it seemed to play the Upper part instead. I might be missing something. Just make sure that your external controller is sending on a Midi channel that matches lower channel (which in the Mojo61 is TX Channel + 1). If your TX Channel is 1, your external keyboard should send on Channel 2 in order to play the lower channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, FedEx hasn't delayed these since the original projected availability date. Guess it is another "boutique" issue - haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davinwv Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Dave - As their customer since the BGMI days, I'm very happy for Andrea & Guido's success, and I understand & agree with everything you said in your post in the other thread. No one is more passionate about this stuff than these guys. Hopefully, they can power through the growing pains & use some of the spoils of this success to increase capacity. More than anything - I am a spoiled brat & want my Mojo 61 now! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 If I lived in Italy, I'd go work with them and help them out. But, everything they've done gives me confidence about their future.

Pigmeat Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm starting to get nervous about the delivery of my Mojo 61. It's mid-June and I was expecting mine weeks ago. I'm going into the studio in July and I'm hoping to use the Mojo instead of the studio's Hammond M3 (without foldback). Please come soon!

wjk Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just got the call from Chris at Alto Music - my unit arrived at the store today and should arrive at my office on Thursday. And the day I ordered it a few weeks back, I ALSO picked up a used Hammond A-100 - the Hammond and the Mojo 61 together for less than I would've paid for the original Mojo. Sweet!

WesG Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That thing sounded great, Ken! With my eyes closed, there is no way I could have known there wasn't a real organ on stage. (For the rest of you, I was 10 feet away from the Leslie all night). Now. What's in that "147"? Some kind of solid-state amp? Whatever it was, it sounded great.

kenheeter Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 My Leslie has been pretty heavily modified. I have installed a Crate solid state guitar head in it ( I think it's about 100W ) and I built a solid stage relay switching scheme to deal with the motors. It's set up to accept 1/4" input and I use a half moon switch attached to the front rail with velcro. For most gigs I'm happy with the onboard sim of the Mojo61 but this one was about 90% organ and it was nice to have the real thing spinning next to me. Thanks for coming out Wes!
