rmshaw37 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 hi there, i have a morley pro 2 wah/volume/distortion pedal, i love the wah and the distortion sounds! but when i play live there is a problem. i wear new rock boots, and those tiny little switches are too close to the expression pedal and does not allow for quick changes before i run off to do the entertaining bit, just wondered if theres a way to mod it so it kicks in the distortion at the same time as the wah, and possibly could it be modded to become switchless? if its too much of a ball ache, could someone recommend a wah that is switchless, and flicks on the distortion at the same time - as i only ever use the wah with distortion! cheers basschatters!

cheddatom Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm a bit confused as to what the pedal is like now, but, if it's two footswitches turning on two things, and you just want one to do both switches at a time, that should be fairly easy. If you look inside there might be lots of un-used contacts on the bottom of one of the footswitches, you could just take the wires from one of them, and solder to the other. The other option would be to have the pedal always on as you like it, and have it in a bypass loop. Then you'd just switch the loop in and out with one footswitch.

rmshaw37 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 they are cracking ideas bud! always thought about a loop engager, but to switch on the whole line of pedals! such a simple but effect-ive (moan) way to do it! thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLondon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 you can always whack a momentary switch on the foot rest so when your foot is on the pedal it's on and off when you take your foot off! Should be simple to do and cost about £10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the Morley auto switching ans spring loaded, ie, step on, step off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need some DIY skills and basic "know how" of electronics and it shouldn't take long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
