Morley 20/20 Britt Lightning Wah

Morley · pedal

The Morley 20/20 Britt Lightning Wah is a signature switchless optical wah developed with guitarist Britt Lightning, voiced to her preferred tone and sweep in Morley's compact 20/20 format. It uses Morley's electro-optical design with no mechanical pots, engaging when you step on the glow-in-the-dark treadle and bypassing when you step off, for smooth, silent, wear-free operation. A 20dB Wah Boost lets players push the wah signal for cutting solos, and the 20/20 buffer circuit prevents tone loss or volume drop. The wah voice is tuned for expressive, musical rock sweeps that sit well under high gain. Built like a tank with glow-in-the-dark details for dark stages, it suits rock and hard rock players wanting a signature-voiced, switchless wah in a rugged, gig-ready enclosure.
