Ease of Use

One button for wah, another for overdrive. Sometimes, I push both at once... There's two level knobs, one for wah and one for odrive, still trying to figure how to set them. Although they seem to operate individually, if they're set just right you can make it more of a volume pedal. I usually leave them at 12 o'clock to avoid the urge to tinker with them.
Sound Quality

Excellent morley wah, not much to say there. However the overdrive sounds a lot more like a compressor than anything else. Considering I bought it for $35, I'm happy it even works let alone come with overdrive. No real fuzz except when completely depressed you hear a slight shhhh. I'm currently playing off an amp worth less than this pedal cost me so it's probably not Morley's fault for the noise.
Reliability

I own 8 pedals, all of which are Dano but this one, thus it's my only metal pedal. Should last a long, long time. However, the damn battery compartment is a hastily put together sliding steel door. You can rely on cutting your thumb open changing the 9 volt battery...

I have no idea how this came to be or where it came from. The guy I bought it from said he got it directly from the factory and Morley never produced it for retail sale. He sold it to me as a "collecter's item" and here I am stomping on it. Being raised a Primus bastardo, I look towards Mark Haggard for wah techniques and riffs. This wah along with any other Morley is definitely M.I.R.V quality. If you don't know who Mark Haggard or M.I.R.V. is, you don't deserve to own a wah.
