Connections are easy, you plug in your guitars into the inputs, and your amps to its outputs.

I have both the Morley A/B switch, Morley Quad Box as well as the Morley Tripler, which are all made with the same high quality case, switches, and electronics of the Morley ABC Selector Combiner switch. They all have basically the same idea: You're routing one or more instruments to one or more amps/multi-effects units, and it is all completely switchable.
I've never had any problems with any of the Morley switchboxes. In my home studio, they allow me to either individually or simultaneously send my guitar signal into my main three sound production setups: Boss GT-10, Digitech GNX3, and...

| Reliability: |
Very study construction.

| Liked about it: |
Ease of setup, simplistic design.
|
| Didn't like: |
I'd like a battery cover that would allow me to replace the 9V battery without disassembling the unit.

| Ease Of Use: |
No learning curve here. Rock it forward and it's on. Rock it back and it turns off. No mechanical switch so you don't need to worry about how hard to step on it, or getting a click.
|
| Sound: |
Sounds killer for metal solos. It has a longer throw than a Crybaby or a Vox wah which makes for deeper fatter wahing. The Tremonti sounds less shrill and more smooth, even liquid. It gives you some treble boost and some mid boost. Sounds better than any other wah I've tried. The Q is set in such a sweet spot! If you wah a note just right it will sound like it's jumping out of the speakers.
The boost knob is helpful, allowing you to dial in a volume boost when the wah is on. It doesn't give me a huge boost in volume (when playing with distortion) but it adds attack and edgy saturation to...

It looks great, feels great and the inside parts look also very
quality like ! Have it since 3 years on my board without any problem.
I never have try it with batterys, so I cant say anything about that.

| Customer Support: |
My dealing with the company have been strictly on a pre-sales basis. However, I cannot fault their helpfullness, friendliness and quick response times.
|
| Liked about it: |
I play anywhere from blues,Rock,metal, you name it, and I definently like this pedal. I play a epi les paul , and a Strat loaded with EMG-SAs. If this was stolen, I would definently replace it. Im not an obsessed creed fan , This is just a good wah , designed by a player that knows how to get sick tone.

| Ease Of Use: |
Like it's cousin, the Bad Horsie wah, this Moley Little Alligator volume pedal sports a very free feeling expression pedal. It's loose enough to comfortably go through the entire range of motion, but tight enough to stay put when your foot is removed.
|
| Sound: |
Well, it doesn't produce any of it's own sounds, just allows for volume level changes. That said, it does a great job. A minimum volume knob is incorporated into the design to allow for a nice transition between rhythm and lead volumes.
|
| Reliability: |
Morley has yet again, built a rugged pedal. The housing is thick and durable, while still providing a free-feeling expression pedal. It has never failed on me.
|
| Customer Support: |
Never had to call them.
|
| Liked about it: |
I like the simplicity, while still providing a eye-catching design. I love the green LED--anything green is cool.
I like the feel of the expression pedal--loose, but durable.
|
| Didn't like: |
It's a little wider than most other volume pedals, and you need to give it extra space on the pedalboard.

This is an extremely easy-to-use and intuitive pedal. Morley has made getting great sounds out of all your gear simple.
|
| Sound: |
It's the rivalry that has gone on almost as long as the feud between the Hatfield's and the McCoy's: Stratocaster or Les Paul. Morley has just ended the feud with their extraordinary "ABY Mix" pedal. If this pedal had been around years ago who knows how many fewer arguments there would have been. But I digress.
The Morley ABY Mix pedal is better than a traditional ABY pedal in that you can run one input into two outputs, two inputs into one output, two inputs into one output, or two inputs into two outputs. The stroke of brilliance comes in their "Mix" control. Both inputs have an...

| Reliability: |
Built like a tank with a sturdy steel housing. This pedal was definitely made to be stepped on over and over again.
|
| Customer Support: |
No problems at all.
|
| Liked about it: |
Allows for independent switching of the outputs including muting capabilities.
Mix controls allow you to use guitars/instruments of different outputs without having to adjust your gear.
No popping/clicking when switching.
|
| Didn't like: |
Foot-switchable inputs would have been nice, but would have been hard to do considering the size of the pedal.

| Ease Of Use: |
The instructions go quite in depth on this wah on how to set the contour and how to use and power the wah. power comes courtesey of a nine volt battery or supply. To operate the wah simply place foot on pedal, rock forward and as if by magic the gremlins inside uderfoot turn the effect on. Take your foot off and the wah stops thanks to the same gremlins and sweep by rocking the pedal which causes the gremlins to go crazy inside. Of course it not really gremlins, the operation is down to photosensitive swithching meaning an led shines through a plate with a gradient cut into alowing the light...

| Sound: |
the wah has a great sound as standard and a nice wide sweep. Within its range is shaft type macka's and quaks from the likes of hendrix. Give the amp some dirt and you get a flowing metal lead sound through the sweep like kirk hammet although i really wish someone would take that wah pedal off him! The best part y far though is the contour function i set the volume right up and the sweep so its very tight so with my amps dirt on a get a accent chomp type of noise, run the pedal slower through its swep and you'll get a sinister grawllllll. Fantastic stuff! This wah pedal love the dirt and...

| Reliability: |
100% reliable, i've had mine ages and it sounds fresh from the box, looks fresh from the box and feels fresh from the box although i occasionally see people on the forums that have had the return spring break. Other than that i'd dare to use it as an axle stand for my car! Its weighty and hardwaring and made of metal and quite possibly magma from the earths core!

great effect sweep and contour function
solid and dependable
innovitave on + off function
no scratchy worn out taper pots

| Ease Of Use: |
Taking the new Morley Accu-tuner out of the box, I was immediately struck by how nice looking it was and how solidly made it is. The pedal is not some plastic garbage. It is housed in a robust metal box with glossy black paint. There were no finish flaws on the outside that I could see. All the buttons felt solid when pressing. The switch is a momentary type of switch like what is found on the Korg Pitch Black tuner and it feels like it will last a long time. I think many potential customers will be comparing this Accu-Tuner to the Pitch Black because they go for pretty much the same amount...
|
| Sound: |
I tested the true bypass ability of the Morley Accu-tuner to make sure there was no loss of tone. I have a very discerning ear when it comes to this. If a tuner or any other pedal colors my tone, it is immediately gone from my pedal board. The Accu-Tuner passed with flying colors. It did not color my tone in any way when it is bypassed.
|
| Reliability: |
I'm not able to comment as I have only been testing the pedal for a few days. It does appear to be very well constructed. It's a Morley. They make tanks! It should hold up good.
|
| Customer Support: |
I have not ever had to deal with Morley tech support. I do have fellow musicians who say Morley customer support is very easy to work with and helpful when dealing with them.
|
| Liked about it: |
I really like the Big easy to read LED Display and the Strobe Function. The True Bypass switching does not color the tone. A444 tuning ability. I like it's looks too. It's just cool looking.
|
| Didn't like: |
Not quite as accurate as the Pitch Black (but still tunes up fine). Doesn't recall previous Calibrate Tuner Mode settings after it is turned off (but neither does the Pitch Black).

Real easy to use. Hit button wah on, hit button again wah off. Here is the only issues I have with wah pedals. Which is the best switching method? I have used the Bad Horsie which works upon stepping on it, there's the type like this mini wah which there is a button on the pedal (this one is just to one side of the pedal, and then the crybaby type which engages when you put the pedal all the way down, the problem I have found with this is I have accidently turned it off, or not turned it on while "wahing". After using this one, I think this is my favorite method of switching. This pedal is...

| Sound: |
I tried this with 3 guitars, Reverend Slingshot, Gibson ES-339, and Fender '72 Tele Deluxe RI, and with 3 amps, the Egnater Rebel 20, Bugera V22, and Marshall 6100LM. Each combination worked well, although you have to watch the fully depressed pedal can get a lot of high end. That is just my personal taste though, there is a lot of variation in tone from pedal up to pedal down. It seemed that when the pedal was up (heel down) to about the first 1/5 down there was not much change in tone, but that could be from my tone, I tend to run a warm dark tone. Classic wah tone on this. Optical...

| Reliability: |
Like any Morley product I've had, it is a tank. I am not easy on equipment, I hit hard and stop hard. The buttons are well made, and the metal is cold rolled steel. I wouldn't have a backup for this.
|
| Customer Support: |
I never had to call them. I had a Bad Horsie that I needed to clean something once and their product support website was more than I needed.
|
| Liked about it: |
Well made
Excellent tone
Small form factor will make this a staple on many pedal boards
|
| Didn't like: |
tone variation was a little too high end for me when fully depressed. I easily found my killer tone spots on this wah, so this is not really an issue

Put in a battery, plug it in and stand on it.
I love the fact the switchless technology; it just turns on as you stand on it and operate the pedal and goes back to bypass (after a short delay) when you take your foot off or roll back to the "closed" position.There are none of those horrifying moments when you think it is on and it isn't, or vice versa. The LED "on" light is a nice reassurance, but I don't often actually see it from where I am looking!
The expression pedal is spring loaded, which means that you don't have to push back with your heel. I love this, it makes operation so...
|
| Sound: |
I have had this for a few years and have played it with a load of different gear.
The bypass mode is quiet, and does not change your tone (unlike some other famous Wah pedals). When you step it activates immediatley and you get a nice clear wah tone that does not add too much extra colour to your sound. Bascially if you have ever used a more vintage voiced wah wah and wished you could get more of your own tone through then this pedal is for you.
The tonal range is probably not as wide a dunlop cry baby, but then again there are no "no-go" zones on the morley. In short you can get a nice...

It is extrmeley solid, and to be honest it has never given me any problems, although I think it is slightly hungry when it comes to batteries, as they never seem to last as long as I think they should.

Never needed to contact them

| Liked about it: |
Switchless operation
Transparent tone compared to vintage pedals
Useable across the whole tonal range of the pedal

Seems to use batteries quicker than I expect
Battery compartment is a little bit fiddley and has bare metal edges.

| Ease Of Use: |
This pedal is extremely easy to use despite the multitude of features it has on tap. The wah engages by merely stepping on the pedal, doesn't get much more simple than that. The spring loaded pedal and the lack of a switch on/off does take a little getting used to but after a song or two with it, you'll be just fine. There are a few controls for the effect's level and the frequency filter when the notch filter is engaged. Overall, I don't think anyone should have a problem with this.
|
| Sound: |
For the audio clip, I ran my JS1200 straight into the Morley and straight into the front of my Crate GTX212. There's a little EQ on the distorted stuff to open it up a little but the clean is with all the levels at 5. I have the wah powered with an AC adapter, not the Morley recommended one, but supplying it with the appropriate voltage and current none the less. I apologize for the less than great playing, I was just noodling around so that the focus would be on the sound of the pedal and not the prowess of the player.
And on to the review...I found this wah to be very different from the...
|
| Reliability: |
Seems to be built solidly. It's all metal casing feels rugged and the sweep of the pedal is nice and smooth. I could see the spring wearing out after years and years of use, but it would take a lot of wah-ing before that would occur. The graphics would probably get scuffed while gigging, but I don't really care if Kamikaze and Sensei are visible as long as things sound good. If it's anything like my Pro Series II, it'll last decades.

| Customer Support: |
They provided me with the pedal for the purpose of submitting this review. I think it's excellent that they would take their time and money to ship us products and I appreciate their involvement in the Reviewers Club.
|
| Liked about it: |
1. Really liked the Growl of the Wow mode.
2. Switchless. This was my first chance to really use one of these and I have a hard time going back to the toe down tap of my other wah pedals. Great Feature.
3. Notch Filter makes this wah every bit the complete package. You get all the perks of the switchless without any of the drawbacks.
|
| Didn't like: |
1. The signal level drop/return as the wah disengaged. I'm puzzled over what this was but it occurred consistently with both wah settings regardless of where I had the wah level control set.
2. Limited sweep of the mid-range in the normal wah mode. I play a lot of wah stuff in the middle register and the normal setting is geared for the upper register. Thankfully, there's the Wow mode.

| Ease Of Use: |
With no switching and optical activation, all you have to do is step on it for volume control. It's very simple to use. The 9 volt battery compartment is very easy to access as well, and the plug in for a power adapter is to the side and away from any essential controls. Well sized and thoughtful layout; as usual from Morley. Though the pedal itself is a little well sized for a pedal board - the sweep of the pedal is a bit short and took some getting used to in the first bit of use.
|
| Sound: |
I tested the Morley Mini Volume extensively with many guitars and amp setups and also with 2 keyboard/organs.
First the guitar/amps: An Orange Tiny Terror and Crate V18 in stereo. While the pedal itself is not a stereo output pedal, I rigged it up with stereo connectors to see how it would perform tonally with a very bright and very dark amp and a korean PRS. Surprisingly the Morley volume did drop a little tone in this configuration. Most likely, i'd assume from the amount of cables needed. It became a little dark in the upper midrange and seemed to drop a little treble off. It affected...

| Reliability: |
This sucker is rock solid. It's all metal construction and all the jacks and input seems to be very well made. While i've heard that the very old "lamp" designed Morley pedals needed to have the optics replaced, but these new ones are supposed to be very bulletproof. I'd say it's very road worthy.
|
| Customer Support: |
Morley seems to have a great team from all I've heard, dealt with and what we've worked with at Jemsite.
|
| Liked about it: |
1) Small footprint for pedalboard
2) Optical circuitry; just step on it and go!
3) Very smooth musical sweep
|
| Didn't like: |
1) Tonally dark
2) Didn't respond as the same tonally to volume changes as the guitars knob (I'm guessing it's due to the optical circuitry)
