One switch...One Level...One pedal...If you are breathing right this very moment you can get a good sound out of this Wah.

Sound Quality : 10
If you want a scratchy and noisey pedal...don't buy this one. Its nice and quiet. It also has a wider range than the crybaby. The Level control also lets you dial in the amount of Wah that you want...so if you want it to rip your head off it will or if you want it to just add a transparent wash over your sound it will.

Reliability : 10
I have had it for four years and it has been bolted into my pedal system which is as abused as a guitar case. It hasen't changed a thing...its tonal qualities still sing and it is still quiet.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I've never had to deal with the company seeing as the thing just wont die.

Overall Rating : 10
I would definately buy it again. I had a Crybaby and the pot died after only three gigs. The smoke in clubs is very abrasive to the moving parts. After replacing the pots three times i decided that for the sound I was getting their had to be something that sounded cleaner and was more reliable. I thied out this pedal and Barry White jumped into my head. This pedals sings and it refuses to quit. Nothing I've seen or heard has touched it.

It's one pedal and one knob, what do you think?

Sound Quality : 1
I don't know what it is with these damn wah-pedals. They all sound decent when you first buy them and then either break or sound like crap. I bought a Dunlop cry-baby, it broke, can't get any sound out if it now. I then bought the Morley, sounded decent at first, now it sounds like crap.
Does anybody know of a wah pedal that won't break?
Also, I suggest anybody who wants to get a wah pedal to get a auto wah, or an envelope filter. If you love funk, like I do, definitely get the DOD FX-25 Envelope Filter.
Get that instead of a wah if you're into funk!!!!!!

Reliability : 1
Like I said, it sounded OK, then it went to crap, so did the dunlop.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never tried.

I don't trust wah pedals anymore. My envelope filter does what I want 10 times better than those wah pedals!!!!!

Fairly straightforward. If you can't run a wah pedal, chances are you can't read this anyway.

Sound Quality : 8
I read the other reviews and I have to disagree, the sound quality is awesome, (except for the low E string on distortion, then you really can't hear it, but it sounds awesome on the clean side) The volume knob is pointless, there is no real difference between low and halfway. Just leave it turned up all the way. Other then that, the sound is amazing and there is no noise in the bypass setting.

Reliability : 9
Yes. I've dropped it on cement floors, stood on it, kicked it, abused it, and it has held up beautifully. (the bolts used on the hinge do tend to bend easily, so don't put all your weight on the damn thing) There are NO moving parts inside the pedal so it can stand up to alot more. (it's optical electronics)

Customer Support : No Opinion
N/A

Overall Rating : 9
Yeah, except I would get the distortion thrown in with it, it's only 15 bucks more. I like the fact that it is optical and incredibly sturdy. No messy levers or pots to wear out and break down. I DO hate the fact that if you forget to unplug the guitar after playing it kills the battery.

One switch, one knob and a gas pedal

Sound Quality : 7
Sounds weak, the range sounds pretty limited, have owned it for 3.5 years and didn't realize how it compared to a Cry-Baby. Morley's out, Cry-Baby's in.

Reliability : 10
It's dependable as hell

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never had to deal with them

I would NOT buy it again, get a cry-baby next time.

I hate the switch and the color scheme almost looks feminine!

Sound Quality : 1
One word sums it up "Rip Off"

Reliability : 4
It worked for 1 month before the switch broke and the body started to bend. What is this metal Aluminum because I have found cans that are stronger! Morley should stop making pedal out of it and sell the material to our enemies so they can make weapons out of it. We would have no more enemies if they did that!

Customer Support : 2
Called, left two different messages never got a return call!

No, I would never buy another Morley! Bought mine mail order on advice from a friend. No longer have that friend or the Morley! If you want a good Wah pedal that is built like a battleship get a Dunlop Crybaby. I know about the complaints with them on the pots but I ordered mine with a Beckman Pot and it has been ROCKING for a year now! Old man Morley should have lunch with old man Dunlop someday and learn how a wah is suppose to be!

Very easy to use, just step on the switch and move yr foot

Sound Quality : 1
This thing sounds like complete crap. Instead of a wah sound, you get this horribly weak sound I can't quite describe. It is impossible to get the requisite scratchy sounds that are supposed to be part and parcel of a wah pedal.

Overall Rating : 1
Do not buy this abomination to the wah pedal. I have tried several different models and they all sound incredibly weak. This thing fakes the funk terribly.

Smooth action, seperate on/off button, and excellent level knob to tune in effect.

Sound Quality : 9
I have a couple of cry-baby wah's. They are transistory sounding and VERY noisy. The cry-baby will effect your sound and leak noise into your rig even when bypassed. I only use the morley now. The wah sweep is sonically "wider". The effect is more creamy and warm, and best of all, you can leve the Morley in your signal chain all of the time. When the Morley is engaged, there is SOME noise, but the small amount of noise contributes to the sweet tone of the unit.

Reliability : 10
Stout

Overall Rating : 10
New, I've seen these for $65. A MUST HAVE. Dont be fooled into buying the dunlop.
