Very sturdy design, great sweep feel, support for active/passive signals, no added tone color, +20db useful for overdrive, 9V external, tuner out
Likewise, the pot itself may go bad over time – hopefully not during a live show!The optical is certainly more reliable, but I’ve noticed that the sweep on the Morley is not as smooth as the sweep on the MVP

An A/B with a passive VPJR is like night and day tone wise
If you are using a separate volume pedal and clean boost, and want to simplify your rig, you might consider this
This pedal provides completely transparent boost, and allows me to adjust volume instantly on the fly without trying to grab a volume knob on my guitar
And hey, you might even be able to drop your lead boost pedal from your chain.
Adjustable boost up to 20db, clean, quiet, transparent.
The MVP, like the Morley, has a minimum knob which allows you to set a lower volume in the toe up position
the other end the maximum knob is somewhat more intuitive:
If using for unity at minimum, then next song off at minimum its difficult to set the right volume...the knob is quite sensitive and is determined by the boost knob as well
One of the cheapest decent active/buffered pedals...even if both knobs were set to zero its worth it
when you're in heel position with both the volume and gain knob at zero, you still hear sound from the amp
The gain control is a very good feature by using for exemple different kinds of guitars with different output levels - here you can adjust the level without changing your amp settings.
That being said, I can see where this feature would be very helpful before OR after your drives
Personally, I have never used this feature as I prefer to do swells from no volume to full volume

The MVP pedal action is much tighter compared to the DeArmond and I prefer that because it makes fine control easier (no doubt decades of use have loosened up the DeArmond but even in its prime I remember wishing it were a little stiffer)
If I were back in my club-gig days, tossing equipment in and out of dark trunks, I might question the open access to the pedal’s internal components under the foot control – too easy to get picks and other small items stuck in
I've been using these types of pedals for years but this updated version with minimum volume and gain control is very nice. being able to change the pedal from a full mute to a damper pedal for volume is very useful and the overdrive gives that extra boost the signal needs
