The tightness comes from the quality construction - super well made - nice and heavy AND a removable battery cover!

So my wah, despite it's clear abilites and stellar quality, mostly just sits quietly under my bed like a mob boss buried Jimmy Hoffa under there

Excellent solid quality

The footswitchable volume boost can be set anywhere between 0-+16dB, and the famous "Q" control allows you to control which frequency range is covered by the sweep of the pedal.

Even more with the Gain Boost and Variable Q alongside a 6 point voice selector, this pedal can easily copy most if not ALL Wah Wah pedals

The little black knobs on the top left "V and Q" are extremely delicate and work intermittently know and it no longer works with a 9V battery

The Morley features red status LED’s for when the wah is in use as well as when the Contour mode is engaged.
