Description
Overview
The Morley Power Wah Volume is a versatile, dual-function pedal designed to streamline your pedalboard by combining a classic vintage wah tone with a high-quality optical volume pedal. By integrating two essential performance tools into a single chassis, this pedal allows you to switch seamlessly between expressive frequency sweeps and precise volume swells without sacrificing signal integrity.
Key Details
- Dual-Function Design: Operates as a vintage-style Wah when engaged and transforms into a dedicated Volume pedal when the Wah is bypassed.
- HQ2 Inductor: Equipped with Morley’s custom HQ2 inductor to deliver authentic, rich vintage wah tones.
- Electro-Optical Circuitry: Utilizes optical technology for both Wah and Volume functions, eliminating traditional potentiometers to prevent wear and tear over time.
- TrueTone Bypass: Ensures your pure signal is maintained and tone is preserved regardless of whether you are in Volume or Wah mode.
- Built for Durability: Housed in a rugged, cold-rolled steel chassis designed to withstand heavy stage use.
- Integrated Controls: Includes a dedicated Wah Level Control to balance the output volume of the effect with your dry signal.
Use Cases
- Dynamic Performance: Use the Wah for lead solos and rhythmic accents, then instantly switch to the Volume pedal for ambient swells or fading out tracks.
- Pedalboard Optimization: Ideal for musicians with limited board space who need both a wah and a volume pedal but cannot fit two separate units.
- Multi-Instrumental Setups: Versatile enough to be used across different signal chains, providing consistent control for various instrument types.
Installation
The Morley Power Wah Volume is designed for quick integration into any signal chain. It can be powered via a single 9V battery for portable, noise-free operation, or via an optional Morley 9V adapter for permanent power. The unit features a quick-clip battery door for fast replacements and an LED indicator to provide clear visual confirmation of the pedal’s status.

Fair guitar. Works well enough for practice but the tone is a bit thin and the fretwork could be better.
