Anyone ever used a "Morley Distortion One"?

Ive had one of these laying around for years, it was given to me and i never really tried it out, but recently i gave it a shot and it is pretty damn thick sounding! havent tried it in a band setting, so well see if it stacks up in the mix but it sounds pretty cool to me. gritty overdrive up to fuzzed out distortion. the output knob on mine is broken off, but it seems to be broken off at max or pretty close so hey, that works heh. mine is much more beat up than this one, but i think beat up gear looks cool 9 times out of 10. anybody else tried one of these on bass?

I used this distortion about 20 years ago with my Les Paul guitar in combination with a London City amp. The amp is a Marshall Plexi clone made in the early seventies in Amsterdam (Holland). I realy liked the "fat" heavy rock sound it produced. It's very easy to get an edgy destortion on any sound volume. Right now I'm trying to get the same gear as I used back then, so if you want to sell … please let me know!

It looks like it was made in the 60s. Not that this is a bad thing.

This is the same series of pedals that Morley made my favorite sounding phaser ever, the Deluxe Phaser. Deepest, thickest phaser I've ever heard, and I've never seen one for sale. I do have the schem, though, if I ever learn how to DYI...
