Morley Pedals PWONEW 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

The Wah Mode is activated by pushing the
Wah switch. The Power Wah is equipped with
true bypass. This means that when the pedal is
in bypass mode, your original guitar signal is
uninterrupted. We’ve maintained the full, thick
sound and wide bandwidth of previous Morley
WAH pedals and added more reactive sound.
Now you can make your guitar talk and sing
similar to the sounds of Hendrix, Clapton and
other wah wah masters.

CONNECTIONS

9V: Use Morley’s 9 VDC 300 milliamp
regulated adapter only.
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 Morley’s 9VDC 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 PWO 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 months 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.

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

• WAH On/Off Switch: This switch turns

the WAH effect “on” or “off”.

• Electro-Optical: The light from an LED

(Light Emitting Diode) shines on an LDR
(Light Dependent Resistor) and 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.

• True Bypass: Allows the original guitar

signal to be uninterrupted when the pedal is
in bypass mode.
