How To: Adjust the Turn-off Delay of the Morley Bad Horsie Wah

The Morley Bad Horsie Wah-Wah Pedal allows you to adjust the delay rate of which the wah-effect shuts off when you release the pedal. This is/was an "undocumented" feature that must be adjusted by removing the backplate as seen below.

Unlike some wah-wah pedals, the Bad Horsie is automatically turned on by simply pressing the pedal. There is no on-off pedal, which offers some advantages and disadvantages.

When you release the pedal, the wah-wah is turned off. The delay rate is adjustable to fit your needs. Personally, I prefer an instant off wah pedal.

Step By Step: Adjust the Turn-off Delay of the Morley Bad Horsey Wah

Picture

  • see Figures 1, 2 & 3 below

Tools Needed

  • Medium Phillips-head screwdriver - for side cover screws
  • Small/fine Flat or Phillips-head screwdriver - for delay pot adjustment

Procedure

  1. Remove the rear cover by of the Morley Bad Horsey by unscrewing the FOUR cover screws. There are two on each side of the Bad Horsie (see figures 1 & 2 below).
  2. Turn the unit face down and remove the rear cover to view the circuit board.
  3. Find the delay pot (see arrow Figure 3.) and make the adjustment using the small/fine screwdriver:
    • Clockwise to lenghten the delay when turned off (wah effects stays on longer)
    • Counter clockwise to shorten the delay (almost instant "turn off")
  4. When finished install the cover and tighten the side cover screws

Reference

  • Test the decay rate by plugging in the pedal & guitar. Make the change and test the delay when you release the wah (turn if off).
