morley wah pedal mod

[CARABAO]

hey guys..i have a morley wah PWA model. it's great for clean tones, but i can't seem to find a way to make it cut through decently through my distortion. maski rin sa clean, pansin ko lang, ang limited ng range. pero yun nga, kahit limited yung range, maganda yung tunog ng wah niya. swabe lang. may alam ba kayong mod/remedies for this? mod ba tlga ang kelangan (if ever man meron) or sa EQ ba gagalawin? as you can see, baguhan lang talaga ako sa mga wah.. ahehe.. ayun lang. salamat in advance

what's your setup?

moreover, where is your wah in the chain, and have you considered putting it somewhere else? some stick it before distortion, some use it after. some use compression, some don't..

you can try emailing bill wenzloff at the morley website. he answers rather promptly. he should know because he's the guy who fixes the stuff that gets sent in for repairs. doesn't matter if you got your pedal second hand.

yeah.. i've read about that guy.. nasa harmony central reviews sya mismo. hehe. anyway, i'll try to contact him na lang. i hope maayos talaga yung range

anyway, my setup goes:

guitar>wah>od2>gdi21>gt2>ce5>rv3>amp

well, i haven't tried experimenting it in the chain. try ko na lang after the preamps, bka nga mag cut thru pa sya dun.

thanks for the reply sir!

ganyan din yung wah ko dito... i think. inherent talaga sa pedal yung pag diminish ng pagiging audible ng effect niya at high gain.

if it doesnt mind to be put after buffers you can experiment by putting it after your ce5 ( which i think has a buffered input/output) and before the RV3. I dont know how you use the gdi21 & gt2 or it will affect it so you can also try it before the preamp after your OD2 which i think you are using as a booster...

orig setup :

guitar>wah>od2>gdi21>gt2>ce5>rv3>amp

experiment like this :

guitar>wah>od2>gdi21>gt2>ce5>WAH>rv3>amp

or like this

guitar>wah>od2>WAH>gdi21>gt2>ce5>rv3>amp

doesnt hurt if you try

Kung malakas loob mo dagdagdan mo ng butas yung cardboard sa ilalim ng pedal para mas lumaki yung range ng sweep.  O kaya mag-cutout ka ng cardboard replacement tapos experiment with several hole configs.

[Al_Librero]

wala bang specific na sukat na kailangang sundan sa pag cut? or trial and error?

Sundan lang yung orig, pero dagdagan yung haba or dami ng butas.  Trial and error lang.

hehe. parang nakakatakot.. hmm.. nde ko gets yung hole eh.. parang may strip lang ng bakal dito sa ilalim ng pedal mismo.. pero mukhang ok yun a.. duwag at praning lang ako. hehe.

ngayon, triny ko yung wah after ng preamps at od2.. mas lumusot, pero naapektuhan yung tone ng dist ko (as in super halata yung change pag engage ng wah - naging round yung tone). pero for cleans and OD, swak sya.

try ko yung mga combinations na sinabi niyo salamats!

[greasykid]

Kasi imbes na potentiometer, photo-resistor ang gamit sa Morley.  Tapos yung sa ilalim ng pedal, may cardboard (di ako sure kung anong material, pero medyo matigas) na may butas.  Depende sa dami ng ilaw na pinapadaan or bina-block niya, nag-iiba yung tunog ng wah.  Kung dadagdagan mo o kaya tatakpan mo yung mga butas, magbabago yung sweep range niya.

[CARABAO]

hmmm... nakita ko yung parang cardboard material, pero nde ko makita yung mga butas na sinasabi mo..san ba nakalagay yung mga butas? walang mga butas eh.. tska parang ang hirap ibalik nito pag tinanggal yung pedal mismo. hehe.

[greasykid]

Sa loob mas kita.  Pag nasira...  Hehehehe

ay susme!! ay Forgets mehn!

dude meron akong PDF file that might help you.. Bill sent it to me a while back.. sabi nya kung sakaling gusto ko raw i-tweak yung sound ng tremonti wah ko.. pero i think it applies to all their units.. send me your email..
