Critic Reviews

Hayden MoFo 30 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Hayden Mofo 30 is a standout amp head that impresses with its great tone, player-friendly response, and robust build quality. The amp's design, fit, and finish are top-notch, and it boasts a powerful EL84 power section for a warm, punchy sound ideal for live performances. The Mofo 30 features a footswitchable boost and an overdrive circuit that delivers aggressive, rich tones. However, it lacks an onboard switch for the boost function, which could be an inconvenience for some players. Overall, it's a competitively priced amp that excels in both sound and aesthetics, making it a strong contender in a crowded market.
