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.
The Morley Wah is a line of optical, switchless wah pedals known for a wide, vocal sweep, a buffered all-electronic design with no scratchy potentiometer, and a rugged, road-ready build. Because it uses an optical sensor rather than a pot, it stays quiet and reliable, and many models switch on automatically when you step on the treadle. Its sweep is broad and expressive, favored by rock and metal players for both rhythmic funk and screaming lead wah, and Mark Tremonti is among its users. It runs well in front of high-gain amps and pairs naturally with aggressive rock tones, offering a bolder, wider voice than many traditional wahs.
