Morley announced the release of the Tye Trujillo TruDrive Wah, a signature wah pedal designed with the bassist Tye Trujillo, who plays with Suicidal Tendencies and his own band OTTTO¹. Guitar World reported the pedal on June 27, 2025, and Bass Musician Magazine published Morley's announcement on July 1, 2025¹².

The pedal is a switchless wah with a built-in "Always On" drive as part of the wah sound, plus a Wah Mix control for adjusting the amount of wah in the signal¹². Morley said the wah was designed with a slight amount of drive built into the front end, which it says gives the wah more presence and bite². A separate distortion circuit runs from a slight overdrive clip to full-on metal distortion, with Level, Drive and Tone controls¹².

Morley's Bill Wenzloff said the company worked with Tye Trujillo on the pedal for "the next generation of players," and that it also works with guitar as well as bass¹².

The housing is cold-rolled steel, and the finish is a race car blue base with a chrome treadle, diamond plate treadle grip and a glow-in-the-dark toe-end logo¹². The MAP price is $199¹². The two accounts differ on availability: Bass Musician Magazine said the pedal "is available now, just in time for the summer live music season"¹, while Guitar World said it was "now available for pre-order from Morley partner retailers"².
