Great Wah sounds. The distortion is ok, average, I guess, but usable. Great to have a volume - wah & distortion all in one. My problem is that the volume knob on the right - (in the Wah section!) does not affect the Wah volume - it affects only the distortion section. So, I usually set my pedal so I can get a loud sound if I need it a few times a night for those "screamer" type songs. I don't want full volume when playing normal or slow songs typically. So, say I am playing "Wonderful Tonight" and want to use Wah on the lead. The volume goes to FULL ON SCREAMING VOLUME as soon as you hit the Wah button, even though you had the volume pedal set at, say, 50% volume. No way to set it lower. Yes, I know you can use the guitar volume knob. Guess I have to learn to turn it at same moment I hit Wah - not a very smooth operation. I would like to be able to set Wah volume at , say, 50 to 70% of full volume - needs another volume pot for Wah! Otrherwise a great pedal.Read full review

This is the real deal. I have owned a few fuzz boxes and several wah pedals. I like the fact that it has the wah, the fuzz, and the volume pedals all on board. However, the real high point was when I called the guys at Morley. Seriously, the customer service from this company is second to none. The tech I talked to was only interested in helping me get my problem fixed and to answer my questions about their parts. This is not what you usually get when you call the manufacture of any product in todays market. The actual features of the pedal are acceptable, the fuzz is not a Dallas Abettor Fuzz Face, from 1968 (I owned a gray one, when gray was the only color you could buy). I also owned a vox wah-wah pedal, from the same era. Also, I had a DeArmond volume pedal. But, having said all of this, if you want to have the Morley perform like those pedals I mentioned, forget it. The Morley pedal is adequate to perform all of its pedals. There is nothing inferior as far as function of the effects. The physical set up is sparse and this is a good thing, because you push the button you get what you asked for and it is the same sound everytime. I have owned a Line-6 bass pod. It is an amazing device if the environment is static like a studio or a practice room. But, playing out live you can forget it. The room will absolutely modify how it sounds and unless you are driving the sound hard it will not sound the same. I owned a zoom, and a Roland M-80. None of the expensive toys cut it live. I now use a CE-1 bass chorus and a MXR distortion box. Both of these do the very thing you want out live and does not disappoint in any way. I am rating this Morley at that level of reliable and dependable. It is the model PDW, Pro series. There are about half dozen of these to choose from. So, be sure what you are getting. Like the Boss and MXR pedal, you have to shoot them to kill them. They are steel cases and the switches are virtually fail proof. Last flash back to pedals of the past. I owned the Phase90, The compressor, and the Mustard colored distortion, and the Navy Blue 8 band EQ, MXR pedals from 1974. I traded all those for to get the Line-6 Bass Pod. The absolute worst thing I have ever done to myself. I you have the component stomp boxes keep them. The all in one modeling pedal will not give you the sounds you think it will. If you want the sound of an 18 inch speaker, go buy one. Simple as that. If you want the sound of a Vox Westminster bass amp, again buy one. If (like me) you want a really big variety of sounds you will need a large amount of gear. Nothing digital can reproduce the effect of having the amount of air moving your pants leg when you play the low B string standing in from of your speaker cabinet. You just have to know what you want from your pedals before you buy it. I you want the "Jaco" you are going to need a 70's Jazz bass, and either a Kustom 200, with two 15's, or an Acoustic 360. Nothing else is going to make you happy, or the genuine sound. By the way, the ART box will help get you close to that sound. Because, you will need three more things to get the exact sound Jaco got: a wah pedal set to half way, an echo box set to wet sound, and a slight Phase sound. Listen close on the set with Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny. You will hear what I heard. The ART box has that particular combo of sounds as a digital patch. But, in spite of that you will not get near Jaco without the jazz bass.Read full review
This is a hugely underrated pedal, and it's just brilliant. A great, classic wah, with the secret built in weapon of a lovely, bluesy, warm, rich distortion. There's even a volume swell available when not using the wah. The build quality is really solid, too. Couldn't find one in the UK, so had to buy from a US retailer. Well worth tracking down and waiting for it, though !

I always loved my crybaby and the vox 847 but this one has replaced them both. I really like the boost on it since it allows you to really cut through when you need it! Built like a tank so I think it will be around a long time too! Will buy this seller's gear again!

Even though the listing calls this a "wah-volume-distortion," it's nothing but volume. Makes me wonder how these things get categorized. First, a little about my musical experience so people know that I know what I'm talking about. I have been a musician for 28 years and have tried all sorts of equipment. From amplifiers to rack gear to guitars to effects pedals, I have pretty much seen it all. I am currently working with my country band. Now with that said, I recently went on the hunt for a new volume pedal. My ancient Ernie Ball wasn't doing the job anymore and I had heard good things about Morley, so I gave it a shot. Found a nice stereo model on eBay and snagged it. A few days later it was in my rig. It's nothing fancy except for the pretty red light and the balance knob. Does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. I also like that its quiet and doesn't squeak like my old EB. Overall, I'm glad I bought it. If it was lost or stolen I would probably replace it with another Morley. Since I only have two controllers on the floor, I depend on my volume pedal. I like this one.Read full review
