morley fuzz wah

You talking the old chrome PWF? I've owned and repaired a couple of PWO's that were all ok with 240VAC, but obviously it depends where you buy them from. Modifying a 110V version to 240V would require a replacement transformer, but luckily the transformer is not unique or special - you should be able to find an off-the-shelf replacement.

Haven't tried the PWF myself, but a few of them are floating around members of these forums. I can, however, say that without a shadow of a doubt the Morley PWO is THE best wah pedal for bass that I have ever heard.

Price? Hmm. I've picked up one for AUD$90, but that was lucky. The condition of these can be pretty variable so you might get a slightly dodgy one for a good price if you're willing to put a bit of effort into fixing it up. For the most part they are very repairable - the common fault is a mechanical one, which is easily fixed with glue or even a bit of gaffa tape!

 

I've seen them float from $100 USD to $200 USD depending on condition (and this goes for all incarnations of the old chrome Morley wahs, from the PWO to the PWB to the PWF and more...).

Your best bet is definitely to replace the transformer rather than use a clunky converter.

I haven't seen any definite photo proof that he used a PWF rather than a Big Muff / PWB (Power Wah Boost) combo for all of his solos. But to be fair, I haven't seen any definite photo proof in the other direction either. I've seen conflicting reports in both directions, because it's hard to visually distinguish the PWB and PWF. The only differences are in the text labels!

One thing's for sure... he DID have a Morley on his board. It's unmistakable!
