Morley 20/20 Power Wah
Morley · pedal
The Morley 20/20 Power Wah revives one of Morley's classic 1970s wah designs in a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure with a 20dB clean boost. Its voice is a vintage, primarily mid-range wah with no muddy or muffled bottom end and only a slightly trebly top, avoiding the honking or growling extremes of some wahs in favor of the smooth, classic Morley sound and a wide sweep. Morley's electro-optical MQ2 custom inductor technology delivers pure tone with minimal noise, the 20/20 buffer circuit prevents tone loss or volume drop, and switchless activation avoids pops. The onboard boost helps the wah and solos cut through a mix. Built like a tank with glow-in-the-dark details, it suits rock, blues, and funk players wanting a pro-level classic wah.
