The Mojo Hand FX Rock City dual overdrive evolved from an effort to refine the company’s discontinued Odessa pedal, but slowly morphed in a highly interactive and tweakable dual-channel drive.
During development, the addition of series/parallel switching opened new tonal possibilities, allowing users to shape their sound with precision.
- The right circuit delivers dynamic overdrive, sensitive to pick attack and adjustable via a clean/dirty “Push” control and clipping options.
- The left circuit offers mid-focused drive, excelling in classic rock tones and enhanced by a Baxandall EQ.
Unique to Rock City is its “Pozze” footswitch system, designed by Eric Bennetts, enabling intuitive toggling between circuits for seamless live control and creative flexibility:
the left and right switches being the bypasses for their respective drive circuits. The third middle footswitch can be seen as an alternate or opposite switch. It inverts the off/on status of both circuits for instant changes. This is a big advantage while tweaking or playing live.
