Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Morley MWV Mini Wah Volume Pedal.

Features and functionality

  • The Morley MWV cannot bypass completely; switching between wah and volume requires the pedal to be in toe position to avoid muting.

    Source
  • Internal LED adjustment allows users to tune the wah sound and sweep to personal preference.

    Source
  • The Morley MWV uses an optical system, eliminating wear from strings or scratchy pots, and includes a transparent buffer to prevent tone alteration.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Users report distortion with loud input signals, fixable by changing a resistor after advice from tech support.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Hotone Soul Press offers similar functionality with a smaller footprint and easier availability, but with a less smooth volume sweep.

    Source
  • While not passive and requiring power, the Morley MWV's wah sweep is limited compared to a Cry Baby, though it is seen as an acceptable compromise.

    Source

    Source

Build quality

Temperamental, overpriced, difficult to work with.

First and foremost, it's a solid unit. Built like a tank and can probably withstand a beating. That said, it's not a very good volume pedal (short sweep) and a noisy unit when the wah is engaged, and the sweep on the wah doesn't feel natural. You can adjust these things by getting into a unit itself, but if you don't know what you are looking for or know what you are doing it's not going to help. It's a fine unit for shutting off my rigs volume... That's honestly about it.

Serves a valuable purpose

This pedal is decent. It offers a good (not great) sounding optical wah and functions well as a volume pedal too. I'm not a huge fan of the level knob being placed so near the switch itself because it is easy to alter it if you aren't careful. The biggest benefit to owning this specific pedal is in pedalboard space. Space is invaluable and I was tired of having two dump truck gas pedals on my board. That alone makes it worth it. There is a tone mod that I have heard of but I haven't looked into yet.
