Morley 20/20 Classic Wah
Morley · pedal
The Morley 20/20 Classic Switchless Wah delivers the traditional Morley wah sound in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Its voice is clear, wide, and modern, with a full-frequency sweep that avoids the nasal shrillness of some vintage units and works beautifully with both clean and distorted tones. The sweep is smooth and slightly less pronounced than a typical Dunlop, giving a more rounded high end that rolls musically through its range. It relies on Morley's MQ2 inductor and dependable electro-optical circuitry, so there are no scratchy pots, plus switchless activation and the 20/20 buffer circuit that prevents tone loss. American-made and built like a tank, it suits rock, blues, and funk players wanting a smooth, toneful, no-fuss classic wah with no tone suck.
