I picked up a few older Morley pedals, the Pro Phaser and the Pro Flanger and must say these pedals have some special mojo to them. The Phaser actually does this watery vibe like thing, kind of like the Arion SCH-1, but with some flange to it, very different, but very cool.

The Flanger is a killer piece, great control and it was supposedly basd on the Deluxe Electric Mistress and I have to say this is a lot better than that pedal.

Any of you guys play any of the old Morley (TelRay) pedals?

I have an old Morley Stereo Chours and Vibrato,This pedal is killer and can get that Univibe tone as good as my DejaVibe.
They are kinda of heavy just like the Line 6 cast Iron pedals

I have two Power Wah Fuzzes, a Slimline Wah and a Pik Percussion which is some kind of weird strobe tremolo. The Wahs have a very unique sound (warm and not too much quack) and a phaseresque quality to them when you rock them slowly. The fuzz is really nasty. Have not been using them much lately but are definitely nice pedals. One big minus is that the travel of the pedal is way too long to do fast funky wah licks.

Still got the early PowerWahBoost, made in Burbank,CA
This is the first pedal I bought back in the early 70's.

Same with me! The PowerWahBoost was my first and only pedal for years. I bought mine around '74 or '75.

That's funny, because for years it was also my only pedal, then in the early 80's in Boston, I bought the MXR Distortion+ and the MXR Stereo Chorus.

I have a wah/volume, power wah boost, volume/phaser, and the rotating sound/wah. The last one I bought new in the sealed box last fall!

I too bought a Morley Power Wah Boost back in the 1982 period and still have it. Actually I played that pedal some much I wore out at least three light bulbs in it.

I realized a few months back that I was missing some of the pedals I wanted while I was going to college and couldn't afford them. So thankfully I have been able to find some of the more obsure pedals like the Rotating Wah and the Rotating Echo Volume, still have a few more to go, but I am sneaking up on the whole line in my collection. Two of the prizes are the Pro Phaser and Pro Flanger, something about those two pedals is very special, if you get a chance to check one of those two out, do it.

I remember wanting to have a whole string of chrome pedals surrounding me, but I went off into the MXR then Electro Harmonix areas and never returned until recently.
