A Modern Wah with a Vintage Feel, Designed for the Stage
The 20/20 Lead Wah carries Morley's DNA: an expressive, stable, and robust wah with a decidedly practical approach. The choice of a optical circuit aims for reliability and consistency, while the MQ2 inductor delivers that "traditional" wah sensation: a musical, familiar curve that is immediately usable on both clean and overdriven tones. In the 20/20 series, the format is optimized to fit easily on a pedalboard without sacrificing the sturdiness of the metal enclosure.
Who Is It For and What For? A Wah Made to Play "Up Front"
This wah is aimed at guitarists (and bassists depending on the setup) who want a responsive and easy-to-use pedal: you step on it, you play, period. It excels in rock, hard rock, metal, punchy funk, modern blues, and any situation where the wah needs to remain intelligible with gain. In live settings, the foot-on activation prevents missed triggers and allows for punctual effects (accents, build-ups, solos) without choreography. In the studio, it proves precise and clean, useful for doubling a rhythm part, drawing automation with your foot, or sculpting a lead track.
Controls, Design, and Features: Efficiency and Signal Clarity
The Morley 20/20 Lead Wah focuses on direct use: the core experience comes from the foot sweep and its automatic activation, without a mechanical switch to hit. The buffer helps preserve highs and dynamics, especially with long cables or a large pedal chain. When the wah is activated, the circuit adds a bass boost: a relevant choice to avoid a "thin" sound impression and maintain a solid foundation, particularly on tight overdrives or chords in wah position.
Sound
Expect a classic wah designed to stay present: the sweep is expressive, with a vocal and cutting edge when pushing the movement, while retaining a fuller base thanks to the low-end boost when the effect is engaged. The output remains clean and controlled, with a smooth sweep feel (a benefit of the optical design) and good clarity on attacks. On a clean channel, it highlights harmonics and adds dimension to picking. On distortion, it keeps body for leads that cut through without losing the essential articulation for fast phrases.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the Morley 20/20 Lead Wah Wah with Red Booster produce?
The optical circuit and MQ2 inductor create a wah sweep with a musical curve, offering a vocal and articulate character. A boost in the low frequencies is added when the wah is engaged to preserve the sound's foundation.
Does the wah activate without a footswitch?
The automatic trigger activates when the foot is placed on the pedal, without a mechanical switch to press.
Is the buffer useful on a pedalboard?
Thanks to the built-in buffer, highs and dynamics are better preserved in a chain with multiple pedals or long cables. The metal enclosure in the 20/20 series format makes integration on a pedalboard easier. The optical travel ensures a smooth sweep movement.
What power supply is required for this Morley wah?
Power can be supplied by a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC adapter. Operation on mains power is thus supported with a compatible adapter.
Is this wah suitable for saturated tones and rock?
Designed for electric guitar, this pedal is suitable for rock, hard rock, metal, funk with punch, and modern blues. The MQ2 inductor and the enhanced low end help retain body on saturated lead sounds.
