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 Morley 20/20 Power Distortion Wah pairs a sweeping wah with a built-in distortion circuit in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure from Morley's 50th-anniversary 20/20 series. It uses Morley's signature electro-optical, switchless design, engaging when you step on the glow-in-the-dark treadle and bypassing when you step off, with no pots to wear out and silent, pop-free operation. The wah and distortion can be used together for thick, aggressive, vocal lead tones or the distortion can run on its own as a dirt box. With a wide frequency sweep and true tone buffer circuitry, it delivers expressive, cutting wah tones for rock and metal lead work. Built like a tank with glow-in-the-dark details, it suits players wanting combined drive and wah in one rugged, gig-ready unit.

The Morley 20/20 Bad Horsie is the compact, pedalboard-friendly reissue of Steve Vai's signature switchless wah, part of Morley's 50th-anniversary 20/20 line. It offers two modes: the signature Bad Horsie voice that captures Vai's famously wah-drenched lead sound, and a Contour Wah mode with dedicated Contour and Wah Level controls for tailoring the sweep from sharp and pronounced to subtle. Morley's electro-optical, switchless design engages when you step on the glow-in-the-dark treadle and snaps back off via a spring-loaded return when you step away, with no pots to wear out and silent operation. It has a massive sweep that loves high-output pickups and high-gain tones, suiting expressive rock and metal lead playing in a rugged, gig-ready unit.
