Morley Pedals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morley Pedals is a guitar effects pedal company famous for manufacturing, amongst others, wah pedals, with an alternative design to a conventional wah pedal. Instead of a mechanism by which the user rocks the treadle forward and activates a switch to turn the pedal on, and creating the sound with a potentiometer, Morley wah-wah pedals, with the exception of some of their signature artist models, use a switch placed to the right of the treadle and elctro-optical circuitry instead of a potentiometer. Artists known to use them include Steve Vai, who has three signature models: the Bad Horsie and Bad Horsie 2, and the Little Alligator volume pedal. Adam Darski (Nergal) from Behemoth and Mark Tremonti are also notable Morley artists; the latter has a signature wah-wah pedal. In addition, the late Cliff Burton was known to use Morley pedals.
