The Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah is a wah pedal from Electro-Harmonix, delivering classic wah filter sweep character in an EHX-quality rocker wah enclosure. The Wailer Wah provides the familiar vocal, mid-focused wah sweep for expressive playing, suited for blues, funk, and rock players who want standard wah functionality at EHX quality. Controls are foot-operated rocker for wah sweep with bypass switch.
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.
