Similarity
citedBlended 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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Friedman Gold-72 No More Tears is a premium wah pedal designed to deliver vocal, throaty wah character with extensive user customization. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle allows selection between three different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to individual preference. Switchable between buffered bypass and true bypass operation. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, Schenker-esque cocked nasal tones, and weeping lead wah sounds.

The Morley M2 Wah is an optical wah pedal using Morley's electro-optical design in place of a mechanical potentiometer, which removes the scratchy pot wear common to conventional wahs and gives a smooth, consistent sweep. It engages automatically when the pedal is pressed rather than needing a heel-down click switch. The voicing is a wide, vocal sweep with a throaty midrange peak, broader in range than a standard Cry Baby, and a dual-mode switch selects between voicings. True bypass keeps the signal clean when disengaged.
