fond memories
I have an earlier version with red lettering... it was the first effect I ever used. We had to do a song with wah wah guitar in jazz band when Iw as in jr high and this guy Jay who played electric bass lent me his wah/distortion. The distortion helped with the cheesy jazz fusion solo theyw anted me to do In the middle.The guy didn't ask for it abck for a while and I got realy attached to this thing. Its like an optical wah and volume with an mxr distortion+ after it. I eventually gave it abck. I bought an identical one when I was older but it never made me smile like that original one did in the 90s. Its got a sound though. Good to have around.

In the interview, Rex talks about his amps and effects, and brings up a Morley Distortion wah. Which was likely the same one used during his Pantera days.
A user-uploaded photo from a recent Reverb purchase suggests that Kevin Skaff owns the Morley PDWII Pro Series II Distortion Wah Volume Pedal. Given that Neil typically doesn't use pedals, it's likely Kevin's. However, the specific application of the pedal remains unclear.
As stated on Philip Bynoe’s web page: “This is one of Philip's pedalboards used on the Steve Vai tour. The pedals are: Line 6 Relay G50 wireless, TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive, TC Electronic Corona Chorus, Morley Distortion Wah Volume, Morley ABY Selector/Combiner Switch, TC Electronic PolyTune Mini, G Lab 8 Separated 9V Power Box PB-1 and a Digitech Bass Synth Wah.”
