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 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 Vox V846 Vintage is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1966-1968 Vox V846 wah pedal from Vox (Korg Japan), capturing the aggressive, wider sweep and pronounced high-end of the original Italian-made inductor-based wah used by Jimi Hendrix and early Eric Clapton. Considered the second iconic Vox wah after the V847, it delivers the nasal, forward midrange cry of classic psychedelic rock.
