MORLEY PWA 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 (a red LED, located above the WAH switch,
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 and sing similar to the sounds of
Hendrix, Clapton and other greats of the 60’s and
early 70’s. See WAH level for suggested settings or
experiment to create your own sound.
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 PWA 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, or call 1-800-
284-5172.

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”.
•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 is in
bypass mode.
