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 Volume Mode has been specially designed
for gradual volume increases as the pedal is
moved from off (toe up) to mid-travel (halfway
between toe up and toe down). From mid -travel
to full on (toe down) the volume increases faster.
This audio taper combination gives you majestic
volume swells - great for pedal steel effects when using the full pedal travel (toe up or toe
down) or subtle volume change with slight pedal
movement. The pedal should be plugged into
your signal chain directly after your instrument
and before devices that add gain (such as
preamps, distortion and overdrive effects).
Plugging into the pedal after these type of effects
may result in unwanted volume in the “off”
position. NOTE: How fast you move the pedal
affects how the volume increases. The slower
you move the pedal, the smoother the volume
increases.
The WAH mode is activated by pushing the
WAH switch (a red LED will light when it’s
“on”) . With this new series, 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 or sing similar to the sounds of Hendrix,
Clapton and other greats of the 60’s and early
70’s.
CONNECTIONS
9V: Use 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 a 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 PWV 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
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

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 level Control: This knob controls the
overall output level of the WAH effect. It does
not change the wah sweep or range
• WAH On/Off Switch: This switch turns the
WAH effect “on” or “off”. In the “off” mode, the
pedal functions as a volume pedal.
• • 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.
• • LED WAH On/Off Indicator: A red LED
located above the WAH switch serves as on
on/off indicator. When the LED is on, WAH is
engaged. When the LED is off, the pedal
functions as a volume pedal.
