The Morley M2 Maverick Contour Wah, listed by Morley as the M2 Wah, is a vintage-voiced wah pedal introduced in 2014 as part of Morley's M2 series. It sweeps the classic wah filter with a vintage character, and it gives the player a wah level control to set how strong the effect is1.
What it does
The M2 Wah shapes the guitar's tone by sweeping a resonant filter, the way a wah pedal does, with a voicing Morley describes as vintage. A wah level control lets the player dial in the strength of the effect rather than taking a fixed sweep1.
Two features set it apart from a bare-bones wah. A True Tone buffer keeps the signal clean and full through long cable runs and the rest of the pedalboard1, and an LED shows when the effect is engaged, which matters on a dark stage1.
The pedal is built in Morley's rolled steel housing, the enclosure the company uses across its pedal line, and it carries a two-year warranty1.
A sibling pedal in the same series, the M2 Wah Volume, adds a switchable Volume mode, so the same treadle can work as a volume pedal when the player wants it to1.
