Morley MO MT Pwov
Morley · pedal
The Morley 20/20 Power Wah Volume combines a classic wah and a smooth volume pedal in one compact, switchless enclosure from Morley's 20/20 series. Its wah is a mid-focused, vintage-flavored voice with no muddy bottom or shrill top, avoiding the honking, nasal character of some units in favor of the smooth, classic Morley sound. The volume function offers a pleasant, even taper from silence to full over a short treadle stroke, and a Wah Boost knob adds up to 20dB of clean boost to push the wah signal. Morley's electro-optical MQ2 inductor technology and 20/20 buffer circuit deliver pure tone, silent switching, and no tone loss or volume drop. It suits rock, blues, and funk players wanting a clean, dual-function wah and volume in a rugged, gig-ready unit.
