'Evening TB,

I'm trying to get a screaming overdriven wah sound just like the late cliff burton achieved in his solo's. I know that i need a morley wah from the Tel Ray period, and specifically a Power Wah Fuzz or a Power wah boost ( Morley PWF and PWB respectively).

However this popped up on the dutch version of ebay

http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/witgoed-en-apparatuur/overige-witgoed-en-apparatuur/m624916905-morley-tel-ray-wah-volume-wvo-70er-jaren-vintage-zeer-goed.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr&pageNum=1&pos=1

I'm wondering if this pedal is essentialy the same as the morley PWF and PWB but without the fuzz option, and if it is capable of achieving the same screaming highs as the others. Also wondering if someone can compare the mark tremonti wah to the chrome tel ray wah pedals, that'd be great

Thanks in advance!

you do not need to have the fuzz on your wah to get the cliff burton screaming wah sound.
i use a electro harmonix big muff into a morley dual bass wah and a rickenbacker 4003 bass in the treble pickup position.
you will get more of the tone with a high frequency bass, but you can use any bass.
another good point to take is hit the thing with your nails whilst applying the wah.
keep rocking
p.s i have an old vintage chrome morley wah-volume for sale for about 90 pounds/sterling if any one is interested message me or something i dont need it and its going to waste

If your main concern is getting the "angry" cliff buron wah sound, just about any of the morelys will do it from what I've heard. I have a morely power wah volume right now and it can totally cop cliff tons with my bluebeard feeding it fuzz. It's all about finding the right point in the sweep where it goes between bass and treble frequencies.

I'm considering switching to a mark tremonti pedal soon because while having the full range sweep is nice hitting the switch to be able to engage and disengage wah is kind of a pain. I like having the volume pedal though.
