Morley Tremonti Wah

Handling : easy to handle, straightforward...
Features : cool feature is the boost function on the unit, doesn't over saturate your sound when turning it "full on"
Sound : could not be better !!! nice wah wah sound with an extra bite :p
quality : rather poorer quality, the "rubber pad" on the footswitch came loose very fast, leaving glue parts on the metal side of the footswitch. Had to "re-glue "it with a stronger glue....

I've been using a Line6 HD500 pedal board for over a year and it is an awesome piece of hardware, but some of the songs we play as a band require wah to be used throughout a number of songs and switching the wah on and off is a bit of a chore so I needed an 'always on' style pedal so I don't have to worry about switching.

I was recommended a Morley Bad Horsie by a good friend in another band and after some research into this style of wah I decided to opt for the Tremonti Wah as opposed to the Steve Vai Bad Horsie due to it having a mix of the Vai modern wah sound and the more traditional sound which fits my style better.

What can I say about the build quality of this pedal other than it is built like a tank! Solid, weighty and feels like it would take a good battering before giving up the ghost.

You can adjust a 10db boost which makes it useful when not being used as part of a solo so you cut through over another guitaristw without engaging your lead channel boost. You can also adjust the switch time through a small screw inside the casing if you want to alter the amount of delay after releasing the pedal before the wah effect switches off. You can choose from 0 to 2 seconds, which is pretty handy.

Overall the sound is pretty good, but I'm not blown away in comparison to the HD500 range of wah tones, but this is more of a personal preference to any shortcomings of the pedal itself.

My only complaint is the battery compartment door which is a pain to remove and clip back in and I'm pretty sure I'll end up snapping the clip before long. A better, more sturdy option would have been appreciated. If you use a power supply then this really won't be a problem.

All in all, the Morley Tremonti Wah has made a nice addition to my effects, alongside the HD500 and TC Electronics Polytune 2 pedal to give me a versatile live setup.

I love this wah and would highly recommend it. Built like a tank it's unlikely to ever break down. I dislike wahs that are click activated and the tremonti takes care of that beautifully. Once you apply pressure the wah is activated and as soon as you're done simply let go - the wah will flip back to the heel position and will then be off until you next require it. The one thing I'd point out is that it is very large and very heavy - easily the largest and heaviest on my pedalboard so be prepared for that if you purchase it and factor that in to your planning.
