Description

Edit description

This was the original full size switchless wah from Morley. It preceded the Steve Vai Bad Hosie. Mine was from 1991.

There could be some confusion at some point because Morley has re-issued this pedal as one of its new "mini" wah pedals. If I can find my old user's manual, I'll post the MFG specs.

The original switchless wah, and probably still the best!

I purchased mine during the very first run of these in 1998 (back when the sticker inside the enclosure still said it was a "WAH-SP"), and I've never thought about replacing it. Nearly indestructible, great sound that you can customize (as long as you can work a soldering iron and/or exacto knife), Morley's electro-optical circuit (it really doesn't ever wear out), and NO SWITCH TO NOT ENGAGE WHEN YOU WANT IT TO. If this ever broke, I'd replace it with another Morley switchless model, but I don't see that happening.

Não é o mesmo da foto

Não sei ao certo o exato modelo do meu morley, ele não possui chave de acionamento, bastando apenas pisar e o pedal já está funcionando. o adesivo com o nome da marca do meu é amarelo.

Morley Wah pedal. And I saved up all of my allowance. It was $50 and was at this funny little store down the street. ... Black with the red writing on it.
