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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.27% — somewhat different

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 Radial HotShot ABo is a compact, fully passive balanced signal output selector that uses a latching footswitch to route one source to a choice of two destinations. Because it is passive it requires no power, and it is built to Radial's rugged road-ready standard. Common uses include sending a signal to two console channels for separate dry and wet effects routing, diverting a microphone from the PA to monitors or intercom, temporarily muting a signal for coughing or talkback, and one-push talkback mic control. It includes pads to match devices with different signal levels and a ground lift to eliminate hum from ground loops. A reliable utility tool rather than a tonal effect, it suits live performers, engineers, and pedalboard builders needing dependable, transparent AB output switching.
