Ease of Use

plug in and play. The battery compartment is on the bottom, but very easy to open. The step on/off feature is great! Makes it way easier to use. Like all morleys, it takes up alot of space on the pedal board.
I mainly wrote this review to explain the delay when turning it off that everyone keeps talking about. I found it my duty to explain to others about it. If you open the bottom, there is a little thing you can turn with a small flat head screw driver. My memory is fuzzy, but i know you can adjust the delay. You can turn it completely off or let it go to like a second and something. I prefer to have a small delay so i can go all the way to the bottom of the sweep and still keep its bass frequencies going, then bring it back up. But just set it to what suits your style.
BUT THE DELAY IS ADJUSTABLE!!!
and i think it explains it better on the manual. Same as morley bad horsie delay pot thing.

This wah is designed to the specs of mark tremonti. Its for screaming leads and used with delay, it can produce some etheral and hauning effetcts. It is not good for raggae type wah-ing, because the treble is so pronounced and it gets shrill on clean settings. Has great range and sound. I use this as my lead wah, and a digiteh expression factory (also highly recommended) for raggae type wah sounds.Boost is a gret feature, although the wah is very strong even with the boost knob at 0. But this thing is GREAT at what it does. Screaming leads.

solid metal casing and hardcore diamond pattern on pedal.Uses optical something, so no pots= no scratchy noise over time. Very crucial if you keep your gear for a long time like me!

Overall this is a great pedal. Expensive. but thats what you get for playing guitar. Great sound, sweep, and feel. When i first bought it I was dissapointed. Its so powerful and trebley. So i bought the digitech ex-7 and kept it on the side. I found myself not being able to let it go. It grew on me and is now a vital part of my equipment. I play "rock" wutever that means these days, and contemporary christian music. If you have ever heard of hillsong, you can get great hillsong lead sounds with this morley tremonti wah, delay, and a few od/dist pedals. Also great for screaming metal leads etc.

No learning curve here. Rock it forward and it's on. Rock it back and it turns off. No mechanical switch so you don't need to worry about how hard to step on it, or getting a click.

Sounds killer for metal solos. It has a longer throw than a Crybaby or a Vox wah which makes for deeper fatter wahing. The Tremonti sounds less shrill and more smooth, even liquid. It gives you some treble boost and some mid boost. Sounds better than any other wah I've tried. The Q is set in such a sweet spot! If you wah a note just right it will sound like it's jumping out of the speakers.
The boost knob is helpful, allowing you to dial in a volume boost when the wah is on. It doesn't give me a huge boost in volume (when playing with distortion) but it adds attack and edgy saturation to notes. When I turn it too loud I get a lot of background humm, even running on batteries, but with a small amount of boost, it sounds amazing.
I never use it clean, only with distortion.
The bypass is pretty good, and only shaves off a little bit of treble; not like a Vox or a Crybaby which will totally ruin your high end.

I'm not a Mark Tremonti fan. I was listening to audio samples of wah pedals on the internet and this one sounded stellar. I'm happy to report that it sounds every bit as good as the samples. For metal, I'll take this over a Vox or a Crybaby any day.
I did make a minor modification from it's factory condition. The pedal comes with a strong spring in it so when you step off it, it rocks back to the heel position and turns off. This would be useful for live applications, but if you're doing studio work and like to use the wah as a filter, that means you have to stand on the thing for long periods of time. I removed the spring so now whatever position I leave the treadle in, that's where it stays. This is perfect for me, but I had to disassemble the entire pedal to do it.

Very easy to use I hate the switches on other wahs. Not much of a manual, its pretty self explanatory. Mine is the original mark 1 tremonti wah with no switch, just a boost knob. I love the spring. All wahs have springs. If youve ever seen Steve Vai use his Morley, he does stuff you could only do with the spring, and it sounds great too.

I think it sounds good with a very clean tone, but I think its great with a crunch/distorted tone. It does not get that screechy thin make your ears bleed sound that my dunlop crybaby had, I hated that one. I use it with a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier 3 channel 150 watt head through a 4x12 and I also use it on my "a" side of my a/b/y switch with a Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp through a Mesa Boogie 20/20 power amp. It sounds great on both channels on the studio and all three of the recto channels. Its just not as "funky" as some other wahs, like the Vox. But I think its tuned for the Boogie amps and sounds great with the amps cranked, you get a real vowel-y growly waaaah! I love it.

Heres the problem. I heard they were built like tanks. Mine has been touchy since day one. First, when I powered up my rack/pedals with my Furman conditioner, it used to stay on for like 5 minutes no matter what you did it wouldnt go off. (Using with the power cable not batteries). Then after a year it stopped doing that and last week it started cutting out with the pedal fully down, as if it was in the off position. Finally, its not working at all with power cable or batteries, it wont turn the power light on, although the inside "lights" that make it wah are on, but somewhat dimly. I dont want to buy a different wah, I LIKE this one, but its broken/ and intermittently touchy. Had it for a year, it worked right for a couple months and I play a lot. A bummer.

This is why Im submitting this review. I have both called and emailed Morley for the last 3 days. No call or email back. And the last time I dealt with "chad" their tech question guy he had a serious attitude when I had problems with my A/B/Y pedal. (I called and left a message that for weeks nobody called or emailed me back) and he emailed me with a huge chip on his shoulder and I had to tell him to back off, Im a nice guy, just need some help with my gear dude! Still no call. I hope he reads this. Im not going to purchase any more Morley gear because if the service sucks, why bother spending your money? On the other hand, Mesa Boogie have EXCELLENT customer service under all circumstances as do LL Bean if you need some hiking gear. But thats another review. Screw Morley.

The worst part about this is nobody else makes a switchless wah that is tuned for a modern, hi power amp that doesnt sound shrill, or they dont have the spring, so Im screwed. I will have to get one with no spring and even after trying tons of wahs at Guitar Center, I like the Tremonti best with my Triple Recto. But I refuse to give them another dime because I feel that equipment should last YEARS, like, twenty years, and if and when it breaks, the company should be happy to help. Not ignore you and/or be a prick about it.

Ever wondered on recordings of famous players that sometimes in their solos they start with a wah down at the heel and go up with no time to turn it on with it at the toe, then rock it back? These players were known to play the Crybaby's or Vox. Sure it is possible to dubble track but what about live?! With Morley it is possible! Be sure to turn down the boost when using clean. This thing is sinister with the boost all the way up and the gain on! I am using this in front of a Carvin Valvemaster and I can go from Stevie Ray to Zakk Wylde!!

I think its actually quite good,
made for a distorted channel (atleast a little bit)
(on a clean channel) it has a kind of volume swell (going louder not quieter) with the wah tone coming in, which i think is actually a lot of fun playin the blues, just gatta turn down the volume
it is digitally distorted, so the highs get raspy at the top, but i use it on my jackson baratone (drop d then tuned down to Bb on the lowest string.) it worked great.

Good all around wah. Seriously, with the boost, it should be good for just about anything. It's nice to get that oomph when you stomp on it. Every wah has it's sweet spot, it just takes a bit of time to find it. I use it for a funk/rock type thing, and it works great. It's not all that different from the Bad Horsie that I used until it died (a bad horsie indeed).
It has it's own voice--more modern than vintage (especially with the boost)
True bypass is a necessity in my opinion, and I'm glad this has it.

This is why I bought it--it's built like a tank and it has all the benefits of being a (good sounding) switchless wah. I'm impressed by the hinge mechanism (sort of like those "Everlast" grip exercise thingys). It's reassuring to know that I can stomp the hell out of it, and it'll keep bouncing back.
(I feel sorry for the person who felt the wah felt too stiff. I mean, it's not like a spring board or anything. Maybe they should work out or eat more or something.)
It's a far cry from that stupidly thin sheet metal crap that holds up the original Bad Horsie and the cheaper Morley Wah (there's no way that would hold up to constant use). I know, because I've broken two of them (I should find a replacement hinge somewhere...)

Very easy to use. Just plug in step on and away you go. Has a boost knob to determine how much wah level increase you want over your original sound. Plus a little light to tell you yht pedal is on - v ueseful (although your foot covers it when you are rockin'?!)

This pedal is just pitched where I want a wah pedla to be. It is not too tinny or vintage like my Vox wah. It is much much more thicker modern I guess. Although there is a really sweet vintage spot in the mid travl postion. It is just perfect I love it. One other thing is that because the unit engages as you depress the pedal (instead of being operated by a little switch in the down position like other pedals) it means tha the wah starts at the low position in the sound spectrum and is really effective when coming in during a quieter passage or whatever. Excellent. Totally true bypass too no sound loss of your top end like the Vox pedal.

In theory, straightforward to use. Switchless operation means step on to engage, step off to go to bypass. In practise, this can be a bit of a pain, especially if you want to bring the wah sound in from the bass end.
The boost function is relatively pointless, tends to create more noise than anything else on thdrive channels.
The manual is fine, nothing too detailed but perfectly adequate for a one trick pony piece of gear.

I'm running this pedal with a variety of guitars - Yamaha Pacifica 812W, Epi Les Paul with BareKnuckle pickups and a Fender Telecaster, through a Marshall ED-1 Compressor into a Laney TF300 combo.
It's a Mark Tremonti Wah, so his sound should be quite easy to obtain. I haven't found this to be the case.
The sweep is far too narrow to obtain the kind of growl-to-wail sounds Tremonti gets, particularly when he's playing live.(I saw Alter Bridge live in the UK in June 2006) I'm not convinced the pedals he's using are the same spec as the ones sold on the open market.
Due to the narrow sweep, this isn't a very versatile wah pedal - Hendrix style tones can be quite difficult to acheive, and the heavily sprung pedal makes control quite awkward.
If it's what you're looking for, on a clean channel setting, it can do an excellent funky wah sound.

I bought this pedal because I play exactly the style of music Morley claim it's been designed for - hard rock and metal, which I've been playing for 12 years. I play a lot of Alter Bridge stuff, and was assuming i could get the right tone from this pedal, as it is apparently the same as Tremonti uses himself. However, the sound just isn't there. It is completely neutered as a rock/metal wah by the ridiculously narrow sweep.
For a funky clean wah sound (Shaft theme type stuff) it is suprisingly good, but that is of very little use to me as I don't like or play funk.
If it were lost or stolen, there is NO way I would buy another.
It will be on it's way in the very near future.

Great, the volumen boost must set to zero with clean or overdrives.
With a distortion set it full up. It has a midrange sound. modern type of wah but thats what I like about it. I have also a Cry Baby Classic ( my favorite vintage Wah ) and a Cry Baby Hendrix ( biggest Bullshit ). And a old Vox ( I play only in the studio becouse its a original one ). So I was tired about the Cry Babys, also the multi FX 535Q thing. This Morley is a great alternative choice for my Live-allround-wah needs. The sound is allways great its a solid metal box and i run it with Ac power so it never leave me !! I test it against the whole Morley Wahs and this and the Bad Horsie 2 are my favorites there.

A good Wah, playing clean with my single coil strat is very great.
But my Les Paul Humbuckers are to fat, I must turn the buckers very low down to get a good clean tone with the wah. Also the mids are missing here and that raunchy Cry Baby thing !
So a 8 for clean, ( Volumen at 0 ).
The guitars + Overdrive ; I must have the Volumen Poti also dailed out ( at zero ), because it sounds like a overloaded noize wah. ( S****)
But real great than, a 9 for chrunchy Rocking wah sounds.
With distortion; its a killer, screaming hellfire, with the Paula its blow out your brain, very musicianish. Now I know why the mids are missing !! And here I must turn the Volumen Knop full in or its to silent/thin. A big fat 10 for that !!
So I think its a great "allround" wah, good clean but better with gain. Oh and I have set the inside trim poti at zero, because when my feet is leaving the wah, I dont want hear a Wah anylonger !!
I use this with a good Ac Adapter, perfect, but you also can use it with Batterys.

So simple!! You don't even have to click a switch. Just put you foot on the treadle and it turns on automatically. The pedal on this puppy is spring loaded so as soon as youtake your foot off it returns to the heel down position and turns off automatically. Great for live use. You never have to worry about leaving your the pedal switched on or switching off mid-solo when things get a bit too 'toe down'. Pucka!! The only reason you would need the manual is to set the delay time for the auto-off.

Hamer Diablo into a various pedals (all true bypass) into a rack system with Sansamp PSA1 as the backbone. All fed through a Marshall cabinet.
First up - True Bypass. Zero tone sucking in the off position! All Good
Wah sound itself is great. I've owned a Morely Classic Wah (sucked), a JD Crybaby, a Budda Bud-Wah and a Boss V-Wah (vastly overated). This pedal beats them all hands down. The sweep is spot on with just the right amount of 'quack' through the pedal's travel. I like it a lot. Not quite as rounded as a Crybaby or the Bud-Wah on a clean setting but a small tweak to the boost function on the pedal sorts that out a treat.
Through an overdriven amp this is the best wah I have ever used bar none. It wails. The boost function is particularly useful as long as I remember to set it before the start of the song.

I play in a covers/function band covering anything from funk to classic rock. I've been playing for 15 years now and have tried loads of different wahs over the yearsd (see previous comments.
This pedal does it all well and with a minimum of fuss for live use. My opinion of Morley was slightly tainted by the bad experiences I had had with my Classic Wah but I'm glad I gave them a second chance and bought the Tremonti Wah. Sounds great, boost is very usable and the Auto on-off is just awesome. I even find myself embelishing small parts of riffs with a bit of wah because it really is a case of 'step on and step off'
If it were stolen I'd get a new one... then I'd hunt down the lowlife qho took it and congratulate him/her on having great taste in wah pedals!

in clean, it can be e bit sharp when you kick it forward down and you use the bridge Humbucker or singlecoil, dont use the volume boost for clean playing, but a very good sound, so a 9 for clean stuff
in tubescreamer chrunch also dont use the volume boost, very great sound, another 9.
in heavy Rock action, full volume boost and kick the scream, this is it, a big 10 for that, but when you dont play and have still fullgain sounds you hear some schschwaoung...so you must play in full heavy action or dont step on it.
You can play anything from reagge, funk, blues, Rock, Metal
great mix of a old - new wah sound.

I play metal, but sounds pretty good with bluesy tones too. If it were stolen i would probably try out the Bad Horsies, Zack Wylde, or Dimebag wah just to see what those things sound like. I would probably go back to the switchless wahs cuz they're perfect for idiots like me.
This thing is badass, but i would like to play it extremely loud for a chance to see what it sounds like cuz i live with a bunch of conservatives. I main reason i bought it is cuz the thing is switchless and the spring action feels sexy. Was lucky enough to get this with an employee discount cuz my friend worked at Guitar Center.
I would actually want a q on that just to make a variety of sounds. If i had money I would probably mod it so it would have a EQ and would sound similar to a dunlop 535q crybaby.
For the money i got it for, hell yeah its worth it. Who can refuse a discount like that brand new?

I have used many wahs and this is by far and beyond the best for my needs. I love that it doesn't have a noisey pot that can wear out (as so many of my old wahs have). The dB boost knob is great. This wah has a wide mid freq. range on it, which I love. Its nice to get right in the mid range and just rock it.
I am using it with a PRS Custom and a Mesa Tremoverb head. If your looking for a great sounding, no BS, no hassle wah pedal, then look no further.

Props to Morley for pulling it off with a great wah pedal. Now only if it didn't come with Mark Tremonti's name on it, that would be the best.

easy to get a decent sound out of it. just plug it in and go. just one knob for volume boost. the fact that i had to unscrew the bottom plate to adjust the off-delay time wasn't daunting at all to me.
of all the wah pedals i've tried, this one had the biggest rocker sweep. for a lot of people that might take a bit of getting used to. this is essentially my first wah pedal so it wasn't a problem for me. i love the switchless design, because traditional switches were what turned me off from wah pedals in the first place. i just hate it when it's supposed to be on, and sometimes you just didn't push hard enough. total humiliation.

my signal chain is:
squier strat..Mark tremonti power wah..boss cs-3 compression..marshall drivemaster..boss ch-1 super chorus..fender twin reverb/marshall jcm-900/roland jc-120.
sounds really good, especially with the compression on. i have two bands, one with only me as the guitarist, playing female-fronted rock. with that band, this pedal sounds excellent. my other band is a funk-based, dual guitar group with a dj, a keyboardist, percs. i'm the lead guitarist and the rhythm guitarist also uses a wah, a dunlop crybaby gcb-95(?. although for rhythm it sounds excellent, sometimes it gets really hard to get a lead sound that punches through, especially with the heavy parts of our songs. in this area i find that the volume boost is no help at all; the way my pedalboard is set up, it only saturates my distortion level even with the volume boost all the way up. thinking of getting a cheap eq pedal for the meantime.. for cleantone wacka-wacka stuff, this pedal really shines. really milky. i AB-ed it against my friend's vox clyde mcCoy. i fell in love with his pedal, he fell in love with mine. hahah. we both agreed that they both sounded exceptional, it was just the interface that was different: the morley was switchless and had a wider rocker sweep; the vox had traditional sweep and switching system that everybody else is familiar with.
a bit noisy though. on the toe-down position it emits this high pitched whine that i thought came from my zoom707, so i took that out. now i think it's because i have single coils. oh well. i don't know if i need a noise suppressor or a just new guitar with humbuckers this time. or maybe it's the high gain. anyway it's not really a problem when the band starts playing.
the wide sweep, like i said, took a bit of getting used to. halfway down i'm already satisfied. toeing it further down i get sounds that i don't think i'll ever need.

i've had this pedal for around 6 months. it would probably live longer than i would. built like a tank--i wish someone would think of another phrase to use than this because this is all i ever hear. it's true, though.
i don't think i'd ever need a backup for this, though i might consider getting another wah so i can have a different sound, at maybe another point in the signal chain.

i've been playing guitar in bands for around 10 years already. this pedal is one of the batter investments i've made, gear-wise. i find myself playing guitar for hours, just stepping on the pedal. i play funk in one band, veruca-salt type rock in the other. this pedal suits me well in both.
if it were stolen or lost, i'd definitely get another one, or a bad horsie 2, because i'd like to try tweaking the wah sound a bit more.
i love the fact that it's switchless, but also partly turned off by the fact that i have to keep my foot on it if i use the pedal like a filter.
i've tried dunlop crybabies, early-model morleys, my zoom707's expresion pedal, and my friend's vox. surprisingly the dunlops are at the bottom of my list (though i've yet to try em out with a compressor of any sort). the vox and my morley are tied for first place, with the morley eventually taking the lead because of these reasons: the morley is switchless, and i live in a country where getting replacement pots are next to impossible.

Okay, the sound is okay...OKAY. Not great. It's clear. It's clean, step on and off without any noise. That's the grat thing about this wah (and the Bad Horsie). I actually bought this just for the fact that you didn't need to "click" a button. However, there is a price to pay. The sound, while nice, is NOT classic wah. I really like the sound of the '60 and '70s wah. I was hoping (based on some of the reviews) that I could get the classic sound without the old clunky pedal. Wrong. Also, the "booster" does not do anything. I didn't notice a volume change in the slightest. But I didn't plan on using it anyway.

This pedal is brilliant in its simplicity. The pedal is plug and play. The pedal has no knobs to turn to adjust wah tonality; however, the pedal does have a 20db wah boost knob. This knob is designed to pump your wah tones above the sound of the band. I like this feature. I normally play with the knob turned all the way up. I tend to only use this pedal for my soloing and when I solo I want my wah sound to be slightly louder than the band and the boost knob accomplishes this quite nicely.

As mentioned above the wah sound is unchangeable; however, you will not want to change to wah tone. This pedal is extradionary in its tone and feel. The pedal is fully optical; no more messing with pots. I have played on Dunlop's Original Crybaby, Dime Crybaby, and 95q pedal, and other wah pedal. The Morley Mark tremonti pedal blows every wah pedal I have ever played out of the water. This pedal is a definite 10. Anybody looking for a great sounding pedal go with the Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah.

My style of music is hard rock, heavy metal, and blues. This pedal suits all the above styles great. This pedal can pump out crisp notes when using distortion and it can wheep when using the clean channel. I have been playing for about 10 to 11 years. If this pedal was stolen I would cry myself all the way to the music store to buy another one. One last thing to say BUY this pedal. This pedal is fantastic.

Setup: Mesa F-50, Morley Tremonti Wah, Musicman John Petrucci Guitar.
Effects Quality: Superb! I like the old wahs for certain sounds (e.g. CryBaby) and modern wahs for the other sounds (e.g. Bad Horsie). This wah is an interesting hybrid, that to me sounds great.
Reasons for Purchase: I wanted a wah didnt mess up my tone. I just wanted to embellish the tone I had. This wah does that - it isnt overpowering, neither is it noisy. I also required a wah that was noticable on the higher notes. This wah was exactly what I was looking for. Ok to be critical, the real high notes dont sound to obvious when using the wah, but then what do you expect.

I am in to all styles of music. Right now I am putting together my first valve setup, for which I just want great tone and versatility. So far so good!
Good Points: Sound, quality, usability, construction.
Bad Points: None really. If I didnt get such a good deal I guess it would be the price (especially if you do a feature comparison between the other Morleys).
If it was lost or stolen? Yep, Id get this pedal again.

Im not an obsessed creed fan , This is just a good wah , designed by a player that knows how to get sick tone.

Heres the problem: I have used it about three times today (i bought it a few hours ago) and the bloody things broke!! built like a tank maybe, but i seem to have a dud. Instead of the great wah sound i expected when i was showing my mate the new toy, it started screeching out these wierd noises like one of those toy ray guns with low batteries. Although i admit the noises where very cool, it's no longer a wah, not even an FX pedal as when the thing is active whatever i do to my axe has no effect on the sound coming from my amp. All my gear in my setup is good (i dont use any other effects apart from wahs so it was easy to check)

I play a very wide variety of music, with my band i play hard edged folk rock and grunge, and this wah would be cool if it worked. I have heard so much good stuff about it that i am going to get it replaced as i obviously got a dud. My wah i use at the moment is a Cry Baby and i havn't really played the Morely enough to tell you which is better overall, though it seems i am stuck with cry baby for now! I would probably recommend this to people but i played with it three times (once in the shop, once when i got home, once this evening) and am thoughroughly pissed off with it.

This thing picks up radio stations when all the way up on the tip. Anyhow, if it were not for this I would rate the sound at 10 because it does sound REALLY bad ass! I'm rating this a 5 because of the noise problem. Yes, I am using the morley adapter they mention in the manual. I even tried running this directly into the amp with the same noise problem. I tried other amps and guitars. If you are wondering my main guitar is a Gibson LP and it's not because of bad wiring especially since the rest of my foot pedals have no noise problems.
