Description
Vai’s screaming wah sound owes a lot to Morley’s optical, switchless platform — just rock onto the treadle and you’re in wah mode, lift off and you’re back to bypass, no clicky mechanical switch to wear out or miss under your foot mid-solo. The Bad Horsie 2 carries that same rock-solid switching into a pedal with two distinct voices selectable right at your feet.
- Switchless activation: step on for wah, step off for bypass
- Two foot-selectable voices: the signature Bad Horsie sweep and a CONTOUR Wah mode
- CONTOUR mode adds frequency and level knobs so you can dial in your own filter sweep and output rather than being locked to one curve
- Clear Tone buffer keeps your guitar signal pure and consistent in level, whether you’re in bypass or wah mode
- Easy-access battery compartment with LED status indication
For pedalboard placement, treat it like any wah — early in the chain, ahead of gain and modulation, so it’s shaping your raw guitar signal rather than fighting distortion or fuzz harmonics. The Clear Tone buffer means you won’t lose brightness or punch feeding a longer cable run to the rest of your board. Whether you’re chasing Vai’s exact vocal-horse cry or building your own sweep in CONTOUR mode, this pedal gives you the switching reliability and tonal flexibility to make wah a genuine lead-tone weapon rather than a novelty stomp.
