Morley 20/20 Volume Plus

Morley · pedal

The Morley 20/20 Volume Plus is a compact volume pedal built on Morley's electro-optical design, replacing mechanical pots with an optical circuit for smooth, noise-free, wear-free volume control. It offers a musical, even taper across the treadle stroke and a foot-selectable minimum volume, letting players set a floor for swells and rhythm-to-lead level changes without fully cutting the signal. Morley's 20/20 buffer circuit preserves tone and prevents the high-end loss and volume drop common to passive volume pedals. Housed in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly, tank-like enclosure with glow-in-the-dark details for dark stages, it suits guitarists and bassists wanting reliable, transparent volume control, volume swells, and level switching in a durable, gig-ready unit free of scratchy pot noise.
