Morley mod advice needed!

Hello,

I'm new on this forum and i hope you guys can help me out.

I've recently bought a Morley Powerwah/volume. It's a great pedal and it's nice to have two pedals in one. There are however some adjustments that I would like to make, if possible.

Firstly: the infamous sweep. Like most Morley's, this pedal has a very narrow sweep, both in wah and in volume mode. I would like to make the effect more gradual as i put my foot down.

Secondly: whereas it's nice to have the two options combined in one pedal, it's a shame the pedal doesn't have a bypass switch. This way you'll allways have to end a solo with the pedal in toe-position before you switch your wah off, or you'll be playing on acoustically. A switch to counter this might be hard to make.

Thirdly: this is only a minor issue. In full toe-position, there is too much treble in the sound, it would be nice to tame that high-end a bit.

Any advice would be appriciated.

Doesn't Morley have instructions on their website about opening their pedals and moving the LEDs or sensors to change the sweep?

They do, but their information is very limited and lacking detailed instructions. Maybe people did use their information to fix the sweep, in that case I would be happy to know about their experiences.
