Gear News: Morley Tye Trujillo TruDrive Wah 

Morley®, makers of Wah pedals, volume pedals, switching devices, and audio solutions, is proud to announce the release of the Tye Trujillo TruDrive Wah. Tye is continuing the legacy of Morley Bass Players from Cliff Burton to Jason Newstead to his father, Robert Trujillo, and now Tye, who is currently playing bass with Suicidal Tendencies, while also recording new music with his own band OTTTO. 

Tye wanted a switchless Wah that had a built-in “Always On” drive as part of the Wah sound, and a Wah Mix control that lets you dial in the perfect amount of Wah. Additionally, there is a separate Distortion Circuit which allows for anything from a slight overdrive clip to full-on metal distortion, and anything in between. The Distortion is equipped with Level, Drive, and Tone controls to let you dial in the right drive for you. 

Morley’s Bill Wenzloff adds, “We are very proud to be working with Tye to develop this cool new Wah for the next generation of players. Plus, it’s a bonus that this pedal sounds great with guitar as well as bass.” 

Tye also wanted the pedal to look awesome, so he decked it out in race car blue base, chrome treadle with diamond plate treadle grip, and a glow-in-the-dark toe end logo. Plus, the cold-rolled steel housing makes it built to take the rigors of the road and last for years. 

MAP price is $199 and is available now, just in time for the summer live music season.
