Description:

The Morley Bad Horsie Wah from 1998 is the original Steve Vai signature wah — built around Morley's electro-optical circuit, which means no pot to wear out and no clicking in and out. It's a switchless design that activates when you step on the treadle, making it fast and intuitive on stage. The tone is bold and vocal with a wide sweep, and it sits in a league of its own for hard rock and high-gain playing.

Details:

  • Electro-optical wah circuit — no mechanical pot, no bypass switch; engages automatically when the treadle is pressed
  • Wide, expressive sweep voiced specifically for Steve Vai's aggressive playing style
  • Pedal is in good condition with expected wear consistent with use and age
  • Includes: not specified
  • This is the 1998 original version

Excerpts from real online end-user reviews:

"Morley wahs definitely have a 'cleaner' sound to my ear... the spring-loaded treadle automatically engaged the effect when compressed and then switched off — no stomping required." - Reddit, r/guitarpedals
"It provides a rich and enjoyable sound — really delightful for fans of wah." - Audiofanzine user review
