This is one of those “buy it once, use it forever” pedals.
This Morley Pro Series Volume Pedal delivers the kind of smooth, predictable sweep and durability players count on night after night. Built sometime in the 2000s, this one is in super-clean condition and ready to work.
Morley’s optical control system means there’s no scratchy potentiometer to wear out, just a fluid, silent operation from heel to toe. A dedicated minimum-volume knob lets you set the lowest point of your sweep — perfect for keeping rhythm volume at the bottom and lead volume at the top. It’s like having two levels under one foot.
Whether you play guitar, bass, or steel, this pedal feels natural and sounds transparent. Morley’s rugged design and simple LED status indicator make it a great choice for anyone who values reliability and clean tone over gimmicks.
