Morley M2 Wah

Morley · pedal

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.
