Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Dunlop Cry Baby JH-1 Jimi Hendrix Wah is based on the modified GCB95 circuit that Jimi Hendrix had his tech alter before performances, shifting the wah frequency range to a slightly lower pitch position for a fatter, more open sound. Produces the distinctive Hendrix wah character associated with classic recordings and live performances. Loaded with a Fasel inductor to match the vintage original character. Uses germanium transistors for the authentic vintage tone associated with Hendrix's wah use.
The Morley 20/20 Wah Lock is a compact, switchless wah that combines Morley's modern optical wah with a lock function for fixed cocked-wah tones. Engaging the treadle gives a smooth, full-frequency Morley wah sweep, while the lock feature freezes the filter at a chosen position for the throaty, mid-honking cocked-wah voice often used for fixed filter rhythm and lead tones. It uses Morley's electro-optical circuitry with no scratchy pots, switchless activation, and the 20/20 buffer circuit to prevent tone loss. Built like a tank with glow-in-the-dark details, it suits rock, metal, and funk players who want both a sweeping wah and an instantly available locked cocked-wah tone in one rugged, pedalboard-friendly unit.
