Morley reissues George Lynch Dragon 2 Wah in Immortals Series
May 1, 2022 · 1 sources
Morley announced in May 2022 the release of the Immortals Series George Lynch Dragon 2 Wah Pedal, a reissue of George Lynch's Dragon 2 Wah originally released in the 2000s1. The new version moves to Morley's 20/20 pedalboard-friendly size and has upgraded circuitry, the maker said1.
The pedal keeps Morley's switchless activation: stepping on the treadle engages the effect and stepping off bypasses it1. It also carries the Wah Lock Mode, which the maker describes as emulating a cocked wah, and the WoW Mode, which shifts the wah's envelope for what Morley calls a very deep and vocal tone1. The entire treadle rubber glows in the dark1.
Lynch, in comments provided by Morley, described the appeal of the switchless design:
"You put your foot on it… You don't have to think about… I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me and probably every other Guitar player with a Wah Wah pedal where you stomp on the pedal and you didn't disengage it… You end up in the Treble position of the Wah Wah pedal for the rest of the song…"
On the Wah Lock Mode, Lynch said: "You don't have to think about cocking the Wah at any certain frequency, it's already predetermined"1.
