I never cared for any of the Mojave's I've tried either. Can't remember exactly why since it's been a while and have tried and crossed every "Marshall" type amp off my list I've tried except for actual vintage Marshall's, but, if I recall correctly, I remember them sounding too dark, distant and not raw or lively like actual older Marshall's. Similar problem with Friedman and a few others. When it comes to Marshall, Vox and Fender style amps I still have yet to try anything that comes close to being as good as the real deal vintage examples of them. The few non-vintage/recent made amps that I've kept do they're own thing
