Ease of Use : 5
Il pedale ha base larga ma soffre nell' avere switches di attivazione adiacenti al pedale vero e proprio che possono, in caso di stacchi veloci, dare notevoli difficolta'. (anche se effettivamente tenendo il piede appena piu' in basso diventa tutto molto piu' facile). Il gioco del pedale e' piuttosto buono ma gli effetti tangibili si possono ascoltare soltanto nel primo decimo di range. e' come se avessero concentrato la gamma dei cutoff soltanto nei primi millimetri...

Sound Quality : 7
Lo uso su un Peavy TNT 115S 150Watt e su un Big Sound da "combattimento". Diciamo che il pedale copre piuttosto bene gli "stack" delle dita sulle corde e rende bene su reefs brillanti con accentuazione degli alti (tipo slap/pop) sul genere Lenny Kravitz.
Sfortunatamente non permette una troppo vasta gamma di toni.

Mai avuto problemi tecnici.

E' il mio primo wah e ne sono abbastanza contento. Credo che col wah si possa diventare padroni dello spazio di tempo tra il suono di una nota e l'altro. Intrippante l'uso lento e pompante quello veloce.
Che cos'altro posso dire su uno stupido pedale???

Basically idiot-proof. A swith to switch between wah and volume, a knob, which seems to me to be the level of "saturation" for the wah, and of course, the pedal.

Sound Quality : 4
I play a Fender Strat and a marshall VS100. This pedal seems a little weak, in that I wish it had a wider "sweep". As for volume, it's perfect. When you stomp the switch to go between wah and volume, you gat a horrible, earth-shattering click.

Reliability : 10
It's always worked very well for me. No pots to wear out or clean!

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never needed help with it

Overall Rating : 7
I play blues/rock/metal/funk/punk and almost anything else. This pedal is a little weak, like I said before. It's better suited to country, I think.

I COMPLETELY HATED THIS THING! There is a seperate button you have to push to get the wah on. That is the first thing about it that really sucks. It's impossible to go from rythym to lead with wah on when you have to pause just to turn the damn thing on. Try playin one of Kirk Hammett's solos with this piece of crap.

Sound Quality : 1
It's honestly the worst wah I have ever heard. So weak-it's like it's not even on. Pathetic.

Reliability : 2
There is no way I would have ever used it on a gig-especially cause of the button. The only reason it's gettin a 2 is cause it had some metal parts.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I'm sure it would have been as terrible as the pedal itself.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
I REALLY HATED THIS PEDAL. If anyone goes and buys this, they're pretty much buying an expensive and crappy volume pedal.

If youve got a good foot what could be easier?

Sound Quality : 8
The quality of the sound is clean. not so much hiss like with other pedals I have tried. The set back however is that the pedal does not have as much articulation and distinction of wah as would a vox or a crybaby

Reliability : 10
The pedal is dependable if you are comfortable with the sound it produces, you can bet it will always sound like that. The batery is easy to get to if you have one die on you, so no back up would be nessasary. No Pots to clean. Mine has sounded the same since 1992

Customer Support : No Opinion
Never needed them

Overall Rating : 8
My first instrument is actually trumpet. Did you know it was a trumpet player "Clyde Mccoy" who first requested a wah wah pedal. My stringed instrument is a 1968 telecaster bass guitar. The pedal works fine with the bass, not the trumpet. I would choose a more articulate pedal for the trumpet.

It's just a wah pedal, but when you turn the wah off it becomes a volume pedal. It has a level which adjusts the level of wah. Very easy to use.

Sound Quality : 9
I use mine with a '93 Fender Am. Std. Strat, a Gibson SG Deluxe, and a Fender '72 Telecaster Thinline Re-Issue through a Peavey Heritage VTX amp. It sounds good, and the people complaining that it doesn't sound like a Vox should know it shouldn't sound like a Vox unless it says Vox. I haven't been able to get a bad sound from it and I don't think I will in the future.

Reliability : 10
It hasn't let me down yet. I use it everyday and it hasn't quit yet.

I haven't had to deal with them and don't plan on dealing with them.

Overall Rating : 10
I'd buy another one, if i needed it. It works great for blues and rock and roll. It has no stupid pots to clean, so it beats the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix wah I was using before I got this one. You don't have to take off the whole bottom to change a battery, you just slide this button and out it comes. The only problem I have found with it is that the pedal sqeeks when you move it real fast, but that will go away eventually. Overall, a great value.

Pedal moves back and forth to adjust volume/wah. One level knob for wah and switch for volume/wah.

Sound Quality : 5
Very nice clean channel wah but sounds like trash on a distorted channel through my Peavey Bandit. Distorted wah is hardly noticeable.

Reliability : 6
Switch is pretty weak. I've heard of them breaking on these models.

Overall Rating : 1
Not what you want for the sort of wah you hear from Kirk Hammet's soloing. Seems to be better for country, which means its pretty much useless.

As this is my first Wah pedal and I can use it without much trouble, I don't think it will be too difficult for someone more experienced than me to pick up. One minus point is that the level control has little or no effect on the degree of wah.

Sound Quality : 7
There is a wooshing sound that changes pitch as you use the wah, but this may be because I use mine for bass. The actuall wah tone seems quite weak, again this is probably because I am using it on bass.

Reliability : No Opinion
I have only had it for 1 day

Customer Support : No Opinion
I have only had it 1 day, so no need to call the customer support. (yet)

I would buy this again. I spent a long time in a music shop comparing the Morley to a Dunlop Crybaby (guitar), and decided the Morley was better because the wah was deeper, and it had a volume function as well.

Its very easy to use..it does make a little squek at the beginning when you use the wah pedal, but with a dash of WD40 its smooth as a babys bottom..

Sound Quality : 8
Its my first wah and i think its not bad but it makes noises when its at wah.But other than that its okay its not as bad as what the other reviews said.

Reliability : 10
This thing is very reliable but one of the rubber under my pedal came off!

Customer Support : No Opinion
don't give a shit!

Overall Rating : 9
overall its an okay pedal looks cool too but its really big. The reason i bought it because ithink it could last because it has optical something instead of pots.

How hard can it be to use a Wah and a Volume pedal? Turn it on, push the pedal....duhh....OK.

Sound Quality : 5
Alone, the wah is pretty flat and lame. However, I have a processor that has a wah setting on it that makes the pitch more nasal and when I run it thru this thing it actually sounds kinda cool.

Reliability : 7
Bottom line...you could throw this thing off of a building and it would surveve. Trust me, I would know. Wiring needs replacing, though.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Dunno

Overall Rating : 6
I got lucky, thanks to my processor's wah setting. If you aren't as lucky as me, though buy a crybaby.
