Morley Pedals NSW User Manual

THANK YOU!

For purchasing a Morley® pedal.

You now own the best Wah pedal

made!

Please take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with the features of your new
pedal. With common sense handling, it
should last for years. We know you will
appreciate the rugged construction of your
Morley®. Most of all, we hope you enjoy
using it as much as we enjoyed building it.

OPERATION

Morley’s new electro-optical sensor with
silent switching eliminates the need for a
mechanical switch. Just stepping on the
spring loaded pedal actuates it; the pedal
automatically goes into WAH mode.
Remove your foot and the pedal springs
back to bypass mode.

The NSW also has a classic lead sound
that attacks each note with a higher
frequency response than our Pro Series
WAH (PWA). The NSW will make each
note soar and carry your leads to new
heights. Our unique electro-optical design
ensures smooth overall control.

CONNECTIONS

9V: Connect 9 volt DC 300 milliamp
regulated adapter to this jack.
IN: Input jack. Plug instrument into this
jack using 1/4” guitar cable.
OUT: Connect amplifier to this jack using
a 1/4” guitar cable.
NOTE: You’ll find cords fit very tightly
into our input and output jacks. The tight
fit helps prevent the cord from becoming
accidentally unplugged from the pedal.
Make sure the cords are completely
plugged in for best results.

AC ADAPTER

Use 9-volt Dc 300 milliamp regulated
adapter only. Using a non-regulated
adapter could cause a low frequency hum
in your amplifier and may damage the
pedal.

BATTERY

The NSW is designed to use one 9 volt
battery when not using an adapter. We
suggest you use a good quality alkaline
battery.
To prolong battery life, unplug your cord
completely from the input jack when not
using the pedal. When the pedal is not
used for extended periods, we recommend
you remove the battery from the pedal or
replace it every six month to prevent
leakage problems.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the battery becomes weak, the
overall wah will become weak and your
signal may become slightly distorted.
Remove the battery door located on the
bottom of the pedal (a short cord is
attached to the door to help prevent loss)
Once the door is off, the old battery can be
removed from the battery snap and a new
battery plugged in. Make sure the polarity
(+/-) is correct before inserting the new
battery.
When you replace the battery door , you
will notice it fits very tightly against the
battery. This prevents the battery from
rattling inside the pedal.

WARRANTY

All Morley® pedals are warranted for two
years from date of purchase. To obtain
warranty service contact the store where
purchased, or call 1-800-639-4668.

Here is a general recommendation for hooking up a WAH
with other effects:

NOTE: This pedal is not intended for use through an effects
loop (send and return).

FEATURES

• • Electro-Optical: The amount of light from the

LED (Light Emitting Diode) that shines on the
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is controlled by
a shutter placed between the two devices. Our
unique electro-optical design ensures smooth
overall control of the WAH without unwanted
noise typical with potentiometer (pot) controlled
pedals.

• Electro-Optical Switching: Your pedal features

electro-optical switching circuitry that allows the
NSW to go into WAH mode without actuating a
switch.

• Silent Switching: To further enhance the

noiseless operation of our electro-optical design,
we’ve added FET silent switching. Standard
switching methods will “pop” and “click” when
switching from WAH to bypass. Your NSW
offers a smooth and quiet transition, making this
pedal ideal for studio recording as well as live
performance.
