Morley Bad Horsie 2 Contour Wah, from my personal collection. Steve Vai's legendary signature wah — one of the first-ever artist signature pedals and Morley's best-selling wah of all time. Famous for its switchless operation: just step on the treadle to engage the wah and step off to bypass — no clicky toe-switch, so the sweep starts exactly where you want it.

It runs two foot-selectable modes. Bad Horsie mode is tuned to Steve's own preferred tone and sweep — vocal, throaty, and screaming at the top end. Flip to Contour mode and the two knobs take over: Contour reshapes the wah frequency/voicing, and Level sets the output, so you can dial in your own custom wah. Morley's electro-optical design means there's no pot to wear out, the True-Tone buffer keeps your signal clean in bypass, and the cold-rolled steel housing is built like a tank.

Features

  • Steve Vai signature wah by Morley
  • Switchless operation (step on = wah, step off = bypass)

  • Contour mode: Contour (frequency) and Level knobs
  • Electro-optical circuit — no pots to wear out
  • True-Tone bypass buffer; rugged steel housing

Condition: Very Good — fully tested and working perfectly. The top and treadle are in great shape; there's some honest cosmetic wear on the underside (it's a wah — the base sees floor and pedalboard contact, see photos).
