Morley M2 Mini Expression Pedal

The Morley M2 Mini Expression Pedal is a compact expression pedal: a foot controller that sends control voltage to another device, such as a multi-effects unit, rather than processing the guitar signal itself. Premier Guitar's expression pedal buying guide describes it as a pedal that "boasts a smooth, consistent taper for accurate control with any expression-pedal-capable device"¹.

What it does

An expression pedal works like the sweep control on a wah pedal, but instead of filtering the signal it passes control information to a connected device, so your foot can drive parameters such as delay time, reverb mix, or effect depth in real time. The M2 Mini is an expression pedal with a smooth, consistent taper for accurate control with any expression-pedal-capable device, enclosed in a rugged, cold-rolled-steel housing at $59 street¹.

The M2 line it belongs to was introduced in 2014, when MusicRadar reported that Morley's M2 pedals give "linear control of any device that requires a voltage control or expression pedal via TRS cable"². A TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) cable is the standard three-conductor connection most expression inputs expect.

Build and price

The pedal follows the M2 family's construction. MusicRadar noted the M2 pedals are "housed in Morley's instantly recognisable rolled steel housing"², and Premier Guitar describes the Mini Expression as "enclosed in a rugged, cold-rolled-steel housing"¹. Steel housings are heavier than plastic but stand up to being stood on night after night, which matters for a pedal designed to be worked with the foot.

Premier Guitar's guide lists it at $59 street¹.
