Morley Power Fuzz Wah
Morley · pedal
The Morley Power Fuzz Wah is a combination wah and fuzz pedal that pairs Morley's wide, smooth wah sweep with a built-in fuzz circuit for aggressive, vocal fuzz-wah tones, using Morley's electro-optical switchless design for smooth, noise-free, wear-free operation. The fuzz can be used on its own as a dirt box or combined with the sweeping wah for thick, psychedelic, expressive textures. Built rugged and tank-like, it delivers everything from classic fuzz-wah to gnarly, saturated leads. The optical circuit avoids the scratchy pots of mechanical wahs, and the wide frequency sweep gives an expressive, throaty voice. It suits rock, psychedelic, and experimental players wanting combined fuzz and wah in one durable, road-ready pedal for aggressive lead and riff tones.
