So, I believe this is the first review I've written on this here site, so bear with me if it's crap, I do believe a couple of people urged me to do this review, so be it on their heads. I'll do the review in a style like on Harmony Central, that seems fairly straightforward.
So, without further stalling...
Features - 9
It scores highly for it's simplicity. I find that gear can sometimes be more complicated that it needs to be, and that simple stuff gets the job done best. Rather like my Fireball, which has about the minimum amount of controls, yet does it's job brilliantly. I'd say it's firmly idiot-proof and drunk-proof in that you plug your guitar in, and step on it. You've also got a boost function, so when using this fellow for solos you can set the knob to suit, and when you step on it, it makes your guitar louder. Very simple indeed.
It doesn't get a full score of 10, as I had to deduct a point for not controlling the temperature of the sun. If you're a John Petrucci fan, you know how important a feature like this is.
Sound - 10
The Morley site says that this pedal is "A perfect hybrid of traditional and modern Wah voicings." I don't exactly know the difference, I've not much knowledge of wah pedals, so I probably wouldn't know to hear which is which. All I'll say is that I bought a Dunlop Crybaby last year, and thought it sucked, so I took it back the next day. The Tremonti Wah sounds really good, and as such I'm keeping it, and using it.
Loomer advised me to go with this particular model over the Bad Horsie because he told me that the voicing suits ENGL amps better. I don't about the Bad Horsie, but I will say that the Tremonti sounds best when I stick it in front of my Fireball. It really screams.
Overall - 10
I'm giving it a 10 because quite frankly, it's really really good. Nice tight spring in it means I've got something to push against, meaning that I don't tend to go from heel to toe position almost instantly, which can happen on the expression pedal on my Pod XT Live.
So, I will give the Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah the Psycho Totoro award for being a really good bit of kit:
