The original Morley Bad Horsie Wah (VAI-1), released around 1996, is a signature, switchless pedal designed with Steve Vai. It features electro-optical technology to prevent pot wear and silent switching. It is renowned for its quick activation, bold, vocal, and wide sweep, specifically designed for high-gain, fast-paced playing.


Key Features

Switchless Design: Automatically engages when stepping on the treadle and disengages when stepping off.

Electro-Optical Circuit: Uses light rather than a mechanical potentiometer to prevent wear and tear.

Voicing: Tailored to Steve Vai's specifications, offering a more modern, vocal, and aggressive tone suited for hard rock and shredding.

Buffer Circuit: Features "Clear-Tone" buffer circuitry to prevent signal loading, preserve tone, and drive long cables.

Construction: Heavy-duty, large metal housing.
