FT: Worst Wah Pedal Ever - Morley BWV Black Gold Wah/Volume - $5 (North Dallas/Richardson)
Seriously, someone offer me something for this piece of crap. I've had it for something like 3 years and it's collected dust the whole time. This thing is old as shit and will probably make somebody rich someday because some blowhard that uses one becomes famous and they're rare as fuck and it's only one of 17 made and the famous dude owns 14 of them or some stupid shit like that. I don't give a fuck, I want it gone.
Let's break down why it's such a shitty pedal:
-It runs on 18 volts and uses a 3.5mm plug or you can use two (2) nine-volt batteries. Goddammit Morley, why couldn't you be like every other normal wah pedal maker and use a 9V Boss-style adapter? I don't have a power adapter for it.
-The instrument jack and the amplifier jack are on the same side of the pedal. Fucking really? Good luck finding a place on your pedal board for this. Oh, what's that? You want to use this at the beginning of your effects chain where a volume pedal should actually go and you want to use your nice neat 6" patch cable? Too fucking bad. You have to use one that stretches all the way around the goddamn pedal. Oh yeah, the power plug is on the side too.
-There's a button that you push to switch from volume to wah. What's that you say? You like to start your sweet-ass wah solo with the heel down? Too fucking bad. If you do that you're also starting with the volume all the way down. Oh, and what? You want to smooth transition from wah-ing to not wah-ing? Too fucking bad. You have to move your foot off the treadle to turn it off.
-I hate the way it sounds. To be fair, that's just a matter of personal preference, I'm more of a Crybaby guy.
Now let's talk about what's good about the pedal.
-
Well, there you have it folks. If I HAD to say one positive thing about this pedal, it's that it has an LED indicator to let you know when your wah is on, so that you don't think your amp is broken when all you get is a high pitched feedback (I'm looking at you Ben). Oh, and it uses Morley's 'fancy' optical circuit so there's no potentiometer to get all scratchy.
I'm really serious about offering me something. I'd offer it up for free if I weren't scared of all you weird-ass mother fuckers out there. So offer me something. A set of strings, a handy (probably won't take that but haven't decided yet), a broken EL34, fucking anything, and I'll accept the best offer I get in the next 24 hours.
