I've wanted to try some Mojotones for a long time, so after getting this front loaded Peavey 412MS with the stock Sheffield 1290s (which don't suck by the way), I thought I would try this model. The stock Peavey speakers are scooped and my goal was to try to balance the mids a bit so I swapped the bottom set with the Mojotones. So far I like em a lot in the room - crunchier / more open and less scooped -
Here are 3 clips I recorded using the same DI, 2 different mics, 2 positions (center / edge) -
Amp is the Marshall JMP Folkesson modded - no boost - no postprocess eq

Mackie 89D dead center here​

Lewitt 440 DM dead center here​

Lewitt 440 DM EDGE CAP here​

I'm weirdly not a fan from the clips, huh.

It's odd because I normally like your clips, OP, and I normally like V30s

The on-cap clips sound too bright to me, and the dust cap clips sound too dark - maybe it's just that the speakers are new and not broken in?

idk, I can tell the original amp tone is great

I like the clip on the edge of the dust cap best, sounds great. The others are too bright for my ears.

Same here!

I agree that the dead center clips sound too bright but the dust clip isn't that dark I think! I will experiment with some more mics and I will definitely put at least one in my splawn cab and record again! The Peavey being front loaded sounds totally different from the others. It reminds me of my VHT 2530 - amazing cab to play but too hard to record (too scooped )

Would definitely be curious to hear some more clips of it - I love mojotone in general, they make really high quality stuff, so I was a little surprised by my own gut reaction

The 89D is just mackie's version of a 57/58 correct? And I'm very familiar with the lewitt 440, So it wouldn't be the mic

I love the folkesson modded marshall, and the other tones you've posted with it sound killer, so I don't think it's that either

I dunno, definitely tag me when you record some more clips of this, I'm curious

Glad to know you are familiar with the mics! Yeah maybe it's the cab's nature that you don't dig! Have you seen this video featuring the BV 30H ?

I have seen it, it's a good tone for that style but there's so much gain on the track I don't have a great idea of what's actually the speaker and what is the rest of the signal chain

The folkesson is way more my speed (and what i'm familiar with) tonewise so i assume it would give me a way better idea of what the speaker's capabilities are

I'm gonna make some more clips and tag you!
 
I like the clips, but I would be curious to hear how they sound in the angled part of the cab. Straight sections on angled cabs always have this weird vocal thing going on in the low mids that I always prefer to dial out, and angled speakers don't quite have that.

I'll try to experiment and post some clips maybe! Thanks for the suggestion

Would you be able to post the time lines to what amp/speaker it is being played.

The entire tracks sounds killer. The 2nd sounds great.

Thx! Are you listening on your phone?I've already posted the timelines. Maybe they just don't show up . Either way I'll post it on YouTube today.

For whatever reason that sounds quite a bit better - In the PV, I like the on axis tones with the mojo - I think i prefer the v30 for the off axis tones still

With the splawn, its not even close, the mojo sounds absolutely monstrous to me, best tones out of all of them - in the splawn the v30s sound pretty weedy imo

That folkesson is a fucking killer man, it sounds brutal as hell

All in all I like the mojotone in the PV cab, tho both sound pretty decent

in that splawn cab, the mojotone sounds absolutely monstrous
