Crumar Mojo Suitcase

Worth the money, but not perfect

Yes, it worth the money and seems more stable than the old mojo.

For the sound, it's good and bad! The sound is soulful and have the tube feel, but if you looking for a thing that perfectly copy the sound of the vintage hammond it's not the best choice. However, it's a good sounding instrument that combine the Hammond tone with some Crumar color, and it's sound good on stage!

For the keybed, it is very smooth that even smoother than the origional Hammond. Some action that will be lead to a wrong note on the real Hammond, but on the Mojo Suitcase it is easier to play so the wrong note is gone! The good thing is on stage, it make you play better. But for practice this can be dangerous that if you only practice on the new mojo you may end up play lots of wrong note on a real hammond or even other clones! (I prefer the Viscount Legend keybed)

At first i think it's the keybed too soft, but than i found its not the keybed. I connect to Hammond B3-X pluins and the keybed feel soild now. So i realize its the vitual multi-contact, the vitual multi-contact make the key too senitive that the sensor is set too high! (That remind me the keybed of my Hammond B3p MK2, same problem)

I will be happy if there will be an update to adjust the vitual multi contact or even turn it off.

Anotheer thing i don't like is the "Lock" for the lid under the lower manual, it always starch my hand when i play the Funky style bass line which i will randomly hit on the wood under the lower manual to make special "POP" sound effect...now i cannot play that on the mojo.....I tried to remove the lock but i found i cannot remove that easily. (Have to disassemble the whole organ to remove!) So for the Organist who play TONY MONACO style dont buy the suitcase, get the MOJO classic!

Finally i would like to compare with the Viscount Legend

Sound: Legend sound more soild, but Mojo is mroe expressive.

Control : Legend is the clear winner, it got 4 set of drawbars and the preset swith is at the left side.

Portablitiy: Mojo is way lighter than my Legend Live (though the spec said that both organs are 18kg, but that are not the same).....So for simply setup mojo suitable is superb. But whenever you add more stuff mojo need more cables when compare the Legend. The pedalboard need a power adaper(legend have a phantom power thing for pedal), the Leslie swith(Legend and Legend live do not need a cable)....and the 11pin is a pain on Mojo. You need to but the mojo eleven which i dont care the extra money but the connection need more cable! (a jack, a midi, another power adapter)...

Look: i am the fans of the mojo at this part
